Revisiting intercropping indices with respect to potato-legume intercropping systems (2020, background): “Previous studies on intercropping (not necessarily on potato-based cropping systems) have focused on water use efficiency (Rezig et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2015; Ren et al., 2016; Meixiu et al., 2020), nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorus) uptake and use efficiency (Mei et al.”
Influence of spatial arrangement in maize-soybean intercropping on root growth and water use efficiency (2017, background): “The maize had a higher growth rate than soybean over the entire growing season (Ren et al. 2016); and the carbon assimilation rate of transpiration in maize as C4 crop was higher than that of soybean as C3 crop (Mao et al. 2012), which are consistent with the higher amount of water transpired in…”
