“…Consequently, like the maize/pea intercropping [22], the grain yield, net returns and benefit to cost rations of maize/peanut intercropping may be similar or even lower than sole maize. However, the inclusion of annual legumes in cropping systems via either cereal/legume intercropping or cereal-legume rotations can significantly reduce the use of synthetic N and P fertilizer, as the legumes fix N 2 from the atmosphere to reduce the requirement for inorganic nitrogen in crop production, and secret H+ and organic acids to mobilize soil sparingly soluble P to facilitate P uptake by maize [34,35,[53][54][55][56][57]. Furthermore, such a cereal/legume intercropping system can provide significant ecological and environmental benefits by also lowering the environmental carbon footprint [38,[58][59][60], and enhancing soil and ecological sustainability and/or resilience to climate change and pest, disease and weed damage [3,4,10,[61][62][63].…”

Rational crop community structure plays an important role in maximizing the intercropping yield advantage. Effects of increasing maize densities in maize (Zea mays L.)/peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) intercropping on yields and other agronomic traits, and the community stability of productivity were conducted across three different experimental sites. There were significant and positive correlations between maize densities and both maize grain/biomass yields and corresponding partial land equivalent ratios (LERs) across all three locations; but grain/biomass yields and partial LERs of peanut were all negatively correlated with maize densities in each or across all locations. LERs of grain yields averaged over three locations ranged from 0.89 to 0.98, while LERs of biomass yields ranged from 0.94 to 1.09 (>1.0 except for the maize inter-plant distance of 27 cm), indicating the intercropping advantage on biomass yields but not grain yields. Peanut had significantly lower kernel harvest indexes than those in monoculture. Excessive narrowing maize inter-plant distances reduced the community stability of productivity severely (especially for maize and total LERs) and are more likely to lead to abnormal maize and peanut plants. Therefore, a rational increase of maize densities in intercropping is suggested to keep the balance between maize and peanut and the comprehensive yield advantage.

“…Although P-mobilizing effects of legumes, particularly as cover crops, are well investigated and positive effects on other crops in the crop rotation have been postulated, these effects are still rather inconsistent, calling for further investigations to identify limiting factors (e.g., Pavinato et al [36] ). Intercropping of maize with grain legumes might be another promising option [37] .…”

Phosphate is supplied to agriculture by mining and fertilizer production, followed by different steps of phosphate utilization, including primary production, feed and food consumption, and conversion of biomass, with accumulation in soils, but little recycling and severe environmental losses. Phosphate is a limited essential nutrient, however, with very uneven distribution worldwide. Closing the cycle and reducing primary phosphate consumption are fundamental future challenges. Maize has a relatively high phosphate requirement. China and Germany together cover the whole range of maize production systems. The new Sino-German international research training group "Adaptation of Chinese and German maize-based food-feed-energy systems to limited phosphate resources" (AMAIZE-P) was initiated in 2018 as a joint venture of the China Agricultural University (Beijing, China) and the University of Hohenheim (Stuttgart, Germany). The interdisciplinary and complementary research is driven by the hypothesis that under phosphate limited conditions, high productivity and high phosphate use efficiency can be achieved simultaneously by adapting phosphate cycling and availability (sources) to the multipurpose phosphate demands (sinks) in maizebased food-feed-energy systems. The educational program for doctoral researchers in China and Germany includes joint block seminars, thematic field trips, case studies, methodological courses, doctoral researchers' conferences, intercultural training sessions and personal training.
