Abstract
Intercropping with Foxtail (Sateria italika L. Beauv.) + Soybean (Gycine max L. Merr.) was tested throughout the rainy season of 2022 and 2023 to determine their nutrient requirements. With the exception of 100+75, 100+50, and 75 + 100% nutrient treatment, nutrient application at 100% RDF in both component crops greatly increases the yield qualities and seed yield of foxtail. In soybeans, a nutrient treatment of 75+ 100% yielded a yield comparable to that of 100 + 100% and 100 + 75% applications, and it outperformed other fertility combinations. Gross and net returns of foxtail equivalent grain yields were shown to be higher when nutrients were applied at 100 + 100%, 100 + 75%, and 75 + 100%. Benefit: The pooled dataâs cost ratio ranged from 3.7 to 5.
