• Effect of narrow-row planting patterns on crop competitive and economic advantage in maize–soybean relay strip intercropping system (2017, background): “ping systems, intercropping often has higher yield advantages and land-use efficiency (Mao et al., 2012).”
• Intercropping legumes and cereals increases phosphorus use efficiency; a meta-analysis (2020, methodology): “In previous studies, researchers have used the water equivalent ratio (Mao et al. 2012; Tan et al. 2020) and nitrogen equivalent ratio (Xu et al. 2020; Li et al. 2020a, b) to express the intercropping advantage in terms of the required amount of a resource (water or nitrogen) for given yields of…”
• Changes in light environment, morphology, growth and yield of soybean in maize-soybean intercropping systems (2017, background): “Intercropping enhances resource use efficiency (Mao et al., 2012; Coll et al., 2012), and has been widely practiced in many developing countries (Li et al., 2007; Rodriguez-Navarro et al., 2011).”
• Improving intercropping: a synthesis of research in agronomy, plant physiology and ecology. (2015, background): “…2008), attributed primarily to improved acquisition of water in the soil profile through complementary root distributions (Shackel & Hall, 1984; Mao et al., 2012), hydraulic lift (or hydraulic redistribution) of water by deep-rooted crops or mycorrhizal networks (Caldwell et al., 1998; Prieto…”
• Influence of spatial arrangement in maize-soybean intercropping on root growth and water use efficiency (2017, background): “Cereal-legume intercropping, especially maize-soybean mixtures have been recognized as more productive compared to their respective monocrops when grown in water limited environments and dry seasons for its potential effect of saving water (Ouda et al. 2007; Mao et al. 2012).”
