The nutritive value of lupins in sole cropping systems and mixed intercropping with spring cereals for grain production [PDF]

, 2008
In total 572 experimental plots were established at two sites during three years with different grain legume species, such as lupins, field beans and peas as well as mixed intercropping of different legumes or legumes with spring cereals for grain ...

Effect of saline irrigation on Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pall.) Kuntze grown on different soil types under greenhouse conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change and population growth are major challenges for sustainable food production, particularly in regions affected by water scarcity and soil salinization. In this context, halophytes represent promising candidates as alternative and sustainable food crops for salt‐affected areas.

Effect of rhizobium inoculation on rhizosphere phosphorous dynamics and fertilised phosphorous use efficiency in a maize–pigeon pea intercropping system in weathered tropical soil

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, 2023
Introduction Low phosphorus (P) use efficiency (PUE) of fertiliser is a critical problem in sustainable crop production, especially in strongly weathered tropical soils with a high P‐fixation capacity.

Weed management in grain legumes using an intercropping approach [PDF]

, 2004
Grain legumes benefit the farming system via symbiotic N2 fixation and subsequent residue incorporation contributing to soil fertility together with their effect as break-crop in cereal rich rotations.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Soybean plants enhance growth through metabolic regulation under heterogeneous drought stress

Agricultural Water Management
Heterogeneous drought stress (HED) is prevalent in drought-resistant practices such as deficit irrigation, root zone irrigation and strip intercropping. The mechanisms and improvement of crop drought resistance under HED are not fully understood.

Progress and perspective on intercropping patterns in tea plantations

Beverage Plant Research, 2022
Intercropping, as one of the complex ecological cultivations, is an important tea plantation pattern. Compared to sole-cropping tea plantations, intercropping can improve the above- and below-ground environment, which is beneficial to tea plant growth ...

Intercropping cereals and grain legumes: a farmer’s perspective [PDF]

, 2006
Intercropping cereals and grain legumes show potential for organic agriculture in many ways. However, the use of land equivalent ratio (LER) as a measure for calculating the cropping advantage of intercrops over sole crops is too simple: neglecting weed ...

Vegetation Structure and Diversity Under Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration: A Comparison of Silvo‐Arable and Silvo‐Pastoral Systems in Kenya

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) is a low‐cost, adaptable agroforestry practice that enhances land restoration by promoting systematic integration of naturally regenerating trees within farming systems through tree selection and management.

Characterization of fatty acid desaturase gene family in Glycine max and their expression patterns in seeds after Fusarium fujikuroi infection

Frontiers in Plant Science
BackgroundThe family of membrane-bound fatty acid desaturase (FAD) genes play a vital role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. The seed-borne pathogen Fusarium fujikuroi causes seed decay disease during pre-harvest and post-harvest stages
