Complementary use of water and N over time are implicated as causes of overyielding exhibited by both species in this pattern. ❋ Unknown (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. ❋ Unknown (1992)

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. ❋ Unknown (1992)

This overyielding could be applied to mechanized systems if cropping intensification is wanted. ❋ Unknown (1992)

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 ❋ Jeremy Lundholm Et Al. (2010)

, [47], and transgressive overyielding, where some species-rich replicates outperform the best monoculture, due to niche complementarity or facilitation ❋ Jeremy Lundholm Et Al. (2010)

Water capture, water loss, multifunctionality and temporal variation in aboveground biomass show evidence of transgressive overyielding ( ❋ Jeremy Lundholm Et Al. (2010)
