Abstract
⺠A field experiment with maize-based intercropping in acidic soils was conducted. ⺠Interspecific stimulation of P uptake was generally controlled by soil P status. ⺠Rhizosphere acidification was not the cause for increased P uptake in acid soils. ⺠Root contact modified the microbial community and dominant microbial species. ⺠Microbial interaction may contribute to increased P uptake during intercropping.
