Maize/peanut intercropping improves nutrient uptake of side-row maize and system microbial community diversity

Abstract Background Intercropping, a diversified planting pattern, increases land use efficiency and farmland ecological diversity. We explored the changes in soil physicochemical properties, nutrient uptake and utilization, and microbial community composition in wide-strip intercropping of maize an...
