“…In comparison with sole crop strips, higher photosynthesis rates in border rows at reproductive stage in wheat also contribute to an increase in number of grains and their weight. The results of this study are in line with Raza et al (2022) who reported that more light availability at crop's reproductive stages promoted the assimilates formation which in turn promoted the formation of grains. Similarly, in a recent study, Zhang et al (2018) noted that more light interception in crop border rows increased the number and weight of grains, which ultimately promoted the overall grain yield.…”

“…With the exception of recent studies ( Erythrina et al., 2022 ; Jo et al., 2022 ), there are no published reports on intercropping under rainfed agriculture, particularly intercropping with dual cereal crops. In addition, previous studies mainly focused on strip intercropping ( Alarcón-Segura et al., 2022 ; Jo et al., 2022 ), however, limited information exists on relay-strip-intercropping ( Raza et al., 2022 ).…”

“…There is a direct relationship between sunlight inception with crop photosynthesis rates. It is also well demonstrated that leaf area greatly influences the photoassimilates production and its supply to other organs which in turn can affect the yield of crops ( Raza et al., 2022 ). Similarly, previously published reports have stated that changing the crop geometry alters the leaf area and, in this way, indirectly influences the production of photoassimilates for better growth and yield ( Raza et al., 2022 ).…”

Nitrogen application enhances yield, yield-attributes, and physiological characteristics of dryland wheat/maize under strip intercropping

et al. 2023

Intercropping has been acknowledged as a sustainable practice for enhancing crop productivity and water use efficiency under rainfed conditions. However, the contribution of different planting rows towards crop physiology and yield is elusive. In addition, the influence of nitrogen (N) fertilization on the physiology, yield, and soil water storage of rainfed intercropping systems is poorly understood; therefore, the objective of this experiment was to study the contribution of different crop rows on the physiological, yield, and related traits of wheat/maize relay-strip intercropping (RSI) with and without N application. The treatments comprised of two factors viz. intercropping with three levels (sole wheat, sole maize, and RSI) and two N application rates, with and without N application. Results showed that RSI significantly improved the land use efficiency and grain yield of both crops under rainfed conditions. Intercropping with N application (+N treatment) resulted in the highest wheat grain yield with 70.37 and 52.78% increase as compared with monoculture and without N application in 2019 and 2020, respectively, where border rows contributed the maximum followed by second rows. The increase in grain yield was attributed to higher values of the number of ears per square meter (10-25.33% more in comparison to sole crop without N application) during both study years. The sole wheat crop without any N application recorded the least values for all yield-related parameters. Despite the absence of significant differences, the relative decrease in intercropped maize under both N treatments was over 9% compared to the sole maize crop, which was mainly ascribed to the border rows (24.65% decrease compared to the sole crop) that recorded 12 and 13% decrease in kernel number and thousand-grain weight, respectively than the sole crop. This might be attributed to the reduced photosynthesis and chlorophyll pigmentation in RSI maize crop during the blended growth period. In a nutshell, it can be concluded that wheat/maize RSI significantly improved the land use efficiency and the total yield compared to the sole crops’ yield in arid areas in which yield advantages were mainly ascribed to the improvement in wheat yield.

“…Intercropping is a centuries-old multiple cropping technique that is widespread amongst small-scale farmers in the developing world [ 14 , 15 ]. Among all the combinations of intercropping, growing legumes (soybean, chickpea, peanut) in between the maize is the most suitable option [ 16 ] due to its greater adaptation to varying agroecological factors and varying climatic conditions [ 17 , 18 ]. Maize is also the most suitable option for intercropping, as it offers broad space for the proper growth of any other crop, especially legumes [ 19 ].…”

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a valuable forage crop. It is also an essential and promising crop for the Republic of Kazakhstan, cultivated in the southern zone. Some new maize hybrids have been introduced, which have been beneficial for high yields with less fertilizer input. This study aims to introduce the new maize hybrid, Arman 689, for the judicial use of fertilizer and the high yield. This study was carried out in 2015 in the southeast region of Kazakhstan. There are five treatments with various mineral fertilizer and poultry manure doses: 1. control (T0), 2. P60 K100 (T1), 3. N100P60K100 (T2). 4. N100P60K100 + 40 tons of manure/ha (T3), and 5. N100P60K100 + 60 ton of manure/ha (T4). The fertilizers used were ammonium nitrate (N—34.6%), amorphous (N—11.0%, P2O5—46.0%), and potassium chloride KCl (K2O—56%). The results showed that the grain yield ranges from 5.51 t/ha (T0) to 8.49 (T4) t/ha. The protein contents in the maize grain varied from 9%(T0)–11.3%(T4). The grain nitrogen content accounted for 54.2 to 52.0%. The nutrient uptake results by different treatments indicated that nitrogen contributed to 41.5% of the total yield increase. Using manure in combination with mineral fertilizers reduced the payback of the applied resources, as the payback of T2–T4 was 8.8–9.1 kg of grain. With the application of recommended mineral fertilizer (NPK), the protein yield was 0.83 t/ha, 0.33, and 1.22 t/ha higher than T0 and T1 treatments, respectively. There was no significant yield difference under T3 and T4 treatments (p > 0.05). Overall, the treatment, NPK + 40 tons of manure, was proved the ultimate for the Arman hybrid in providing the optimum quantity and quality of maize, as well as reducing the payback cost (8.8–9.1 kg of grain). It is suggested to apply NPK-recommended doses along with manure in maize (Arman hybrid)-based intercropping systems to utilize the resources efficiently.
