  1. Samples were taken in May, July, and September. May/A = Intercropping treatment in May. May/B = Monoculture treatment in May. July/A = Intercropping treatment in July. July/B = Monoculture treatment in July. Sep/A = Intercropping treatment in September. Sep/B = Monoculture treatment in September. Different lowercase letters and uppercase letters indicate that there are significant differences between the two treatments in the same month at the levels of P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively
