Water use efficiency and evapotranspiration in maize-soybean relay strip intercrop systems as affected by planting geometries.

Optimum planting geometries have been shown to increase crop yields in maize-soybean intercrop systems. However, little is known about whether changes in planting geometry improve the seasonal water use of maize and soybean intercrops. We conducted two different field experiments in 2013 and 2014 to...
