Nutrient uptake and rhizosphere microbial community as related to yield advantage in broomcorn millet‒alfalfa intercropping under different row configurations by Shengzhican Li, Ashanjiang Yiminijiang, Ruoxuan Li, Mandi Wu, Mingxiu Long, Peizhi Yang, Shubin He

“…The results showed that compared with monocultures, alfalfa-millet intercropping system under different row ratio configurations significantly increased the yield of broomcorn millet and the absorption of PTP and PTK (total phosphorus and potassium of broomcorn millet). In addition, the broomcorn millet-alfalfa intercropping system also improved soil nutrition, with the decrease of the row ratio of broomcorn millet, the changes of TN, NH4 +-N and microbial biomass in the rhizosphere of broomcorn millet were consistent, which was opposite to NO3 −-N. …”
