Facilitative root interactions in intercrops

Plant and Soil, 2005
Facilitation takes place when plants ameliorate the environment of their neighbours, and increase their growth and survival. Facilitation occurs in natural ecosystems as well as in agroecosystems. We discuss examples of facilitative root interactions in intercropped agroecosystems; including nitrogen transfer between legumes and non-leguminous plants ...

A mathematical model for formulating intercrop proportions for intercropping systems' design

Ecological Modelling, 1985
Abstract The concept of land equivalent coefficient (LEC), formulated for the valuation of intercrop interactions and productivity in simple to complex crop mixtures, is further employed in this work to formulate intercrop proportions for intercropping research based on the concept of expected LEC.
