A Correction on
Optimal row configuration in jujube-cotton intercropping systems increases cotton yield by enhancing growth characteristics and photosynthetically active radiation in arid region

By Wang J, Wang P, Li X, Cui Z, Li L, Hu Q, Qiao H, Zhang W, Wan S and Chen G (2025) Front. Plant Sci. 16:1663361. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2025.1663361

There was a mistake in Figures 8 and 9, page 11 as published. Figures 8 has lost its axis title, and Figures 9 has lost its legend. The corrected Figures 8 and 9 appears below.

Figure 8
Bar graphs showing CGR and NAR metrics for different treatments (IC2, IC4, IC6, MC) across various stages (So-Se, Se-Bu, Bu-Fb, Fb-Bp) for the years 2020 and 2021. The CGR graph indicates higher values in IC6 and MC, especially in the Fb-Bp stage. The NAR graph similarly shows increased values in Fb-Bp, with MC consistently higher. Comparisons among treatments are marked with letters a to d for statistical significance.

Figure 8. Crop growth rate (CGR) and net assimilation rate (NAR) at different period in 2020 and 2021. So-Se, Sowing to Seeding; Se-Bu, Seeding to Budding; Bu-Fb, Budding to Flowering -boll, Fb-Bp, Flowering and boll to Boll opening. IC2, IC4, and IC6 represent jujube intercropped with two, four, and six rows of cotton; MC, monoculture cotton. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences among treatments at p < 0.05.

Figure 9
Four bar graphs showing agricultural yields and LER from 2020 to 2021. Top left: Cotton yield. Top right: Jujube yield. Bottom left: Total yield. Bottom right: LER (Land Equivalent Ratio). Bars are categorized by IC2, IC4, IC6, and include MC or MJ in specific graphs, with distinct colors. Each graph shows data variations between years.

Figure 9. Yield and land equivalent ratio (LER) under different treatments in 2020 and 2021. IC2, IC4, and IC6 represent jujube intercropped with two, four, and six rows of cotton; MC, monoculture cotton. MJ, monoculture jujube. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences among treatments at p < 0.05.
