e0“Rational maize (Zea mays L.) based intercropping with legumes/oilseed rape across six experimental sites from 2008 to 2017 proved advantageous over monoculture in terms of both maize biomass production and P uptake.”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Intercropping improved maize biomass production relative to monoculture.
- Observation The intercropped maize partial land equivalent ratio for P uptake was 0.58 to 0.92 and exceeded that for biomass production.
- Intervention effect Maize grain phosphorus concentration increased under intercropping.
- Intervention effect Maize internal phosphorus use efficiency decreased under intercropping.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus quantity per 100 kg maize grain increased under intercropping.
- Intervention effect Rational phosphorus fertilizer input maximized maize yields and phosphorus use without reducing interspecific advantages or harvest indexes.
