- Intervention effect Maize leaf area index was 34.6% higher in maize-peanut intercropping (IMP) than in monoculture maize (MM).
- Intervention effect Maize specific leaf weight and chlorophyll a were higher by 8.0% and 18.8%, respectively, in IMS than in MM.
- Intervention effect Maize specific leaf weight and chlorophyll a were higher by 3.1% and 18.6%, respectively, in IMP than in MM.
- Intervention effect With N addition, maize thousand kernels weight was higher in IMS and IMP than in MM.
- Observation More dry matter accumulated and was partitioned to the grain in the intercropping systems.
- Observation Maize averaged partial land equivalent ratio and net effect were 0.76 and 2.75 t ha-1 in IMS.
- Observation Maize averaged partial land equivalent ratio and net effect were 0.78 and 2.83 t ha-1 in IMP.

- Observation Less dry matter was partitioned to the grain for intercropped peanut.
- Observation Averaged pLER and NE of intercropped peanuts were 0.26 and -0.55 t ha-1.
