The study looked at how planting different numbers of rows of maize, pinto bean, and soybean together in strip intercropping affected seed yield compared to planting them alone. They found that maize produced higher yields when intercropped with soybean in two rows each, compared to planting maize alone. Pinto bean and soybean, however, produced higher yields when grown alone rather than in intercropping arrangements. Overall, the results suggest that different crops have varying responses to intercropping, with maize benefiting from certain combinations while pinto bean and soybean do better when grown individually.
