Abstract
In a field experiment to estimate water needs of intercropped sorghum and soyabeans, leaf water potential (LWP) and canopy light transmission were measured. Sorghum had 8-11% lower LWP when grown in mixture than alone, but soyabeans, shaded by sorghum, had a higher LWP than in monoculture. Absolute LWP values suggest that only about 10% additional water would be required by the mixture compared with individual requirements of the aggressor sp. in a 2-spp. mixture of this nature
