"Productivity assessment of maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) cropping systems in Laguna and Nueva Ecija, Philippines"
Intercropping and relay cropping can increase nutrient use efficiency (NUE), land equivalent ratio (LER) and net income per unit area of land. The relay cropping and intercropping were performed at Laguna and Nueva Ecija, respectively with five...
