Intercropping with maize, sorghum or Pennisetum americanum reduced nodulation and N2-fixation. This is ascribed to shading of groundnuts by cereals and the consequent decrease in photosynthesis of the legume canopy.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Groundnut</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">1983</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Cambridge University Press </mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
