Ygra:Yleg = yield of grass vs legume in monoculture; Ygra(Mix):Yleg(Mix) yield of grass vs legume in mixture; Ygra,leggra,leg yield in mixed cultivation compared with expected cumulative yield of constituent species according to calculations monocultures; Ygra(Mix):Ygra yield of grass in mixture vs monoculture (RYT); Yleg(Mix):Yleg yield of legume in mixture vs monoculture (RYT). All means (kpixels) and ratios were calculated from sPSA (DAP 70) values. Different letters represent significant treatment (nutrient and cultivation) differences at α = 0.05 within species.
