Improving maize’s N uptake and N use efficiency by strengthening roots’ absorption capacity when intercropped with legumes
Maize’s nitrogen (N) uptake can be improved through maize-legume intercropping. N uptake mechanisms require further study to better understand how legumes affect root growth and to determine maize’s absorptive capacity in maize-legume intercropping. We conducted a two-year field experiment with two...
