Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

1. the title needs to be improved for fitting the whole paper perspectives, "optimizing" including too many works in cropping systems.

2. the abstract showed all the valuable details about this research, but the results about the intercrops of pearl millet-groundnut not very clear, please refined them.

3. too many keywords, generally 5-6 keywords.

4. the lines from 64-73, are these in one paragraph? 

5. do you have the temperature data about the two experimental years? 

6. over two years, the great difference existed in rainfall, did it effects the final yield and VCR?

7. the discussion, needs improving for a better clearly understand.

8. land use efficiency/land equivalent ratio, they are the same or not.

9. the conclusion should lay out based on the data and results, and with simple and significant sentence importantly.
