Summary

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients, yields of maize and soybean, spore number and colonization percentage of mycorrhiza on both maize and soybean grown in dryland intercropping systems.   Theoretical Framework: The quantity of crop production is influenced by the appropriate selection of maize and soybean varieties, as well as the environmental conditions of the intercropping area. Effective plant density management ensures that sufficient growth space is available, allowing plants to thrive and develop optimally.   Method: Five treatments of combination of maize and soybeans varieties were planted in a randomized block pattern with an intercropping system of three rows of each crop. The treatments were: V1: NK212 maize:
