Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Sunflower monoculture gave the highest sunflower grain yield, 275 g m-2
- Intervention effect Soybean monoculture gave the highest soybean grain yield, 130.1 g m-2
- Intervention effect The 100:50 additive intercropping ratio gave the lowest soybean grain yield, 48.5 g m-2
- Intervention effect Intercropping ratio of 25:75 gave the highest land equivalent ratio, monetary advantage index and intercropping advantage value
- Association Sunflower had higher aggressivity and crowding ratio values than soybean in all cropping patterns
- Observation The highest density of herbivores was recorded in soybean monoculture
- Observation Thripidae had the most relative density among insects in the sunflower and soybean system
- Observation Cicadellidae had the most relative density among insects in the sunflower and soybean system
- Intervention effect Intercropping sunflower with soybean increased the abundance of pollinators and natural enemies compared with monocultures
- Recommendation Intercropping sunflower with soybean at 25:75 is a feasible alternative to monocropping for similar production
