Figure 3

Spatial soil water differences in maize/pea intercropping. The no root barrier (M/P) treatment was compared with the solid plastic sheet barrier (PM/P) treatment at (a) pea flowering and maize at stem elongation, (b) pea maturity and maize flowering, and (c) maize maturity, in 2009, 2010, and 2011. At a given soil depth, positive values indicate that soil water content was higher in the maize strips than in the pea strips, and vice versa. The number in each section is LSD value at P < 0.05.
