Optimizing wheat-maize relay intercropping in semi-arid regions of Iran to mitigate late sowing challenges and enhance water productivity in grain maize

Optimizing wheat-maize relay intercropping in semi-arid regions of Iran to mitigate late sowing challenges and enhance water productivity in grain maize

In semi-arid regions with short growing seasons, grain maize as a second crop after autumn cereals is often limited, leading to reliance on silage. This two-year (2021–2023) field study in Karaj, Iran, evaluated wheat–maize relay intercropping to extend the maize growing period and improve water pro...
