Facilitative root interactions in intercrops
Plant and Soil, 2005Facilitation 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 ...

Benefits of intensive agricultural intercropping
Nature Plants, 2020The need for increased crop yields has led to growing interest and research in agricultural intensification, which has a myriad of environmental impacts. Intercropping can bring the benefits of intensification within a reasonable footprint.

Pest Management: Intercropping
2020Intercropping can be practiced at the species, variety, and gene level with effects on pathogens, insect pests, and weeds. One of the most important considerations for the successful design of intercropping systems for pest control is the achievement of functional diversity, that is, diversity that limits pathogen and pest expansion and that is ...

Plant breeding for intercropping
2023Increased diversity of cultivated plant species has a large potential for solving environmental issues caused by modern agricultural production, such as erosion and carbon loss in the soil, nutrient leaching, water pollution and declined biodiversity.

With the current objective of moving away from monoculture and the development of the "ecological intensification" of agrosystems, the cereal-legume intercropping takes advantage of the symbiotic relationships that the legume develops with soil micro-organisms (rhizobiums). Legumes are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen thanks to the nodules of its

INTERCROPPING IN CASHEW ORCHARDS
Acta Horticulturae, 2015Cashew (Anacardium occidentale), a native of Brazil, was introduced in India during the latter half of the 16th century for the purpose of afforestation and soil conservation. Initially intercropping received little attention in the cashew. But Inter-cropping has become popular with the systematic establishment of large-scale orchards.

Genotypic requirement for intercropping
Field Crops Research, 1993Abstract An important aspect of an intercropping system is the extent of competition between the crops. Where this is large, there is likely to be a significant genotype × cropping systems interaction. Even when the correlation between sole-crop and intercrop yields is positive, there may be significant departures from the trend which can be ...

A mathematical model for formulating intercrop proportions for intercropping systems' design
Ecological Modelling, 1985Abstract 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.

Cereal–Legume Intercropping Systems
1987Publisher Summary This chapter describes the various aspects of cereal-legume intercropping systems. Intercropping is the growing of two or more crop species simultaneously in the same field during a growing season. The intercropping of legumes with cereals offers scope for developing energy-efficient and sustainable agriculture.
