Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Complete belowground interaction reduced evaporation during co-growth and independent maize growth, and so did increased maize plant density
- Intervention effect Intercropped wheat inhibited maize root length density during the co-growth period
- Intervention effect Maize root length density in W/M was 14% higher than in NW/M in 2014
- Intervention effect Maize root length density in W/M was 45% higher than in NW/M in 2015
- Intervention effect Maize root length density in W/M was 26% higher than in PW/M in 2014
- Intervention effect Maize root length density in W/M was 119% higher than in PW/M in 2015
- Association Evaporation and root length density of maize are negatively correlated
- Intervention effect Grain yield of wheat was increased by the W/M2 treatment
