Abstract
SUMMARY: Nodulation and N2-fixation of groundnut were investigated in sole and intercropping systems. Intercropping with pearl millet, maize, or sorghum reduced nodulation and N2-fixation. This effect is ascribed to the shading of groundnut by the cereal component and the consequent decrease in photosynthesis of the legume canopy.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
