Physiological characteristics of corn intercropped with different arrangements of palisade grass plants

Abstract Background The study of corn and palisade grass physiology may assist in determining the best arrangement of the plants and more efficient management of this intercropped system. Objective To evaluate the effects of different palisade grass plant arrangements and their control on physiological characteristics and corn yield. Methods Two trials in randomized complete block design with four replications were conducted in field conditions. In the first, corn was sown with 0.50 m row spacing, whereas the second had 1.00 [...]
