Quantitative Lasting Effects of Drought Stress at a Growth Stage on Soybean Evapotranspiration and Aboveground BIOMASS

Yi Cui et al.

Summary: Research found that drought stress has lasting effects on soybean growth, leading to reduced transpiration and biomass not only during the stress period, but also in subsequent growth stages. Additionally, damaged transpiration and growth mechanisms caused by drought can gradually recover through later rewatering, and compensation phenomena may occur.

Compact maize canopy improves radiation use efficiency and grain yield of maize/soybean relay intercropping system

Muhammad Ali Raza et al.

Summary: Compact maize enhances the photosynthetically active radiation transmittance, leaf area index, dry matter production, radiation use efficiency, and competitiveness of soybean in maize/soybean relay intercropping system, compensating the slight maize yield loss by substantially increasing soybean yield. This system significantly improves the soybean radiation use efficiency and competitiveness, resulting in increased soybean yield while maintaining maize yield. The enhanced radiation use efficiency of soybean, particularly during the co-growth period, is the primary factor responsible for the high productivity of the maize/soybean relay intercropping system.

Land productivity and water use efficiency of maize-soybean strip intercropping systems in semi-arid areas: A case study in Punjab Province, Pakistan

Muhammad Ali Raza et al.

Summary: The study shows that intercropping maize and soybean in irrigated farmland can enhance crop productivity, with higher soybean yields in the 2M3S intercropping pattern. Maize is a stronger competitor for water in the intercropping systems, particularly in the 2M3S pattern.
