Complementary use of water and N over time are implicated as causes of overyielding exhibited by both species in this pattern.
1. Green manure crops in irrigated and rainfed lowland rice-based cropping systems in south Asia. 1992
-
The objectives of this study were to verify the occurence of overyielding and to examine patterns of N and water use as possible mechanisms for over-yielding in sunflower/mustard intercrops.

-
Two intercrop patterns and sole crops of mustard (Brassica hirta Moench) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) were planted in 1988 and 1989 on a silt loam soil to examine mechanisms for overyielding in this intercrop system.

This overyielding could be applied to mechanized systems if cropping intensification is wanted.

-
Potential mechanisms for this overyielding include temporal complementarity of growth phenology or water uptake such that modules with more life-form groups maximized water uptake and possibly temperature performance over a longer period of time
