Photosynthetic response and agronomic performance of maize intercropped with beans using different planting patterns and fertilizers under the ambient conditions of the Colombian Amazon.

ABSTRACT: Small holders in the Colombian Amazon region use maize-bean intercropping for improving productivity under the combined stress conditions of acidic soils and high temperature. This study is aimed to evaluate the photosynthetic response and agronomic performance of maize (Zea mays L.) variety (ICA V109) intercropped with two improved lines of common bean (BFS 10, ALB 121) with three different planting patterns (Monocropping pattern (MCP); Intercropping pattern 1:1 (ICP 1:1); Intercropping pattern 2:1 (ICP 2:1)) and two types of fertilizer application (Nutrimins Inorganic Fertilizer (NIF); Super Magro Biofertilizer (SMB)) under the field conditions of the Colombian Amazon. Photosynthetic response and agronomic performance of maize plants were evaluated at different phenological stages over t
