The productive performance of intercropping

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023
Crop diversification has been put forward as a way to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture without penalizing its productivity. In this context, intercropping, the planned combination of two or more crop species in one field, is a promising practice.

Revisiting intercropping indices with respect to potato-legume intercropping systems

open access: yesField Crops Research, 2020
Abstract Intercropping is gaining popularity in developing countries as a viable strategy for diversifying cropping systems to ease food insecurity, given that arable land is shrinking, and demand for food crops is increasing due to rapid population growth.

The Ecology of Intercropping

The Journal of Applied Ecology, 1989
The practice of growing two or more crops together is widespread throughout the tropics and is becoming increasingly practised in temperate agriculture. The benefits of nutrient exchange, reduced weed competition and pathogen control can generate substantial improvements in growth and yield. In this book John Vandermeer, a leading worker on the subject,

Intercropping in Banana

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1980
A field experiment was conducted in two sessons to find out a suitable intercrop in banana fields of Vaigai-Periyar River Command aroa. Short duration pulses like greengram increased not only the bunch yield of banana but also gave higher economic returns. Among vegetables, Bhendi was a profitable inter crop.

Experimenting with Intercrops

Biometrics, 1984
Peasant agriculture in the tropics assumes ever greater importance, but relevant experiments are difficult to conduct, partly because existing techniques were evolved for single crops, whereas smallholders may use several crops together. Also, the concern of smallholders is to minimize the risk of crop failure rather than to maximize average yields ...

Diseases in Intercropping Systems

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2013
Intercropping, the simultaneous cultivation of multiple crop species, has been used throughout history and remains common among farmers of small landholdings in the tropics. One benefit of this practice may be disease control. In phenomenological research comparing disease in monocrops and intercrops, primarily due to foliar fungi, intercropping ...

From Leguminosae/Gramineae Intercropping Systems to See Benefits of Intercropping on Iron Nutrition [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
To achieve sustainable development with a growing population while sustaining natural resources, a sustainable intensification of agriculture is necessary. Intercropping is useful for low-input/resource-limited agricultural systems. Iron (Fe) deficiency is a worldwide agricultural problem owing to the low solubility and bioavailability of Fe in ...
