Article Synopsis
- Shading from maize in strip intercropping significantly impacts soybean, leading to stem lodging and reduced yield due to lower carbohydrate accumulation.
- Using logistic and beta growth models, researchers analyzed soybean growth at various planting densities, finding that higher density reduced growth rates and maximum carbohydrate accumulation.
- The study highlights the need to optimize planting density in intercropping systems to mitigate shading stress and improve soybean growth and yield.
The shading of maize is an important factor, which leads to lodging and yield loss of soybean in the maize-soybean strip intercropping system, especially in areas with low solar radiation. This study was designed to explore how shade-tolerant soybean reduces yield loss by regulating its canopy structure and stem characteristics in the maize-soybean strip intercropping system. The soybean cultivars Tianlong No.
