Strip-width determines competitive strengths and grain yields of intercrop species in relay intercropping system

Abstract Maize/soybean relay intercropping system (MSR) is a popular cultivation method to obtain high yields of both crops with reduced inputs. However, in MSR, the effects of different strip widths on competitive strengths and grain yields of intercrop species are still unclear. Therefore, in a tw...
