Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Continuous rain and an abnormally wet climate during harvest can easily lead to soybean plants being damaged by field mold (FM), which can reduce seed yield and quality. However, to date, the underlying pathogen and its resistance mechanism have remained

The efficiency of a durum wheat-winter pea intercrop to improve yield and wheat grain protein concentration depends on N availability during early growth [PDF]
, 2010 Grain protein concentration of durum wheat is often too low, particularly in low-N-input systems. The aim of our study was to test whether a durum wheat - winter pea intercrop can improve relative yield and durum wheat grain protein concentration in low ...

, 2017 Intercropping is an agricultural practice whereby at least two species are cropped together during a significant period of their growth.Intercropping aims at using more efficiently the available resources by promoting complementarity between species in order to increase the products’ production on a given surface of land and quality (e.g.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Diversified farming systems are increasingly recognised for their potential to enhance the sustainability and resilience of food systems. Yet it remains unclear whether empirical research adequately captures the drivers and constraints shaping farmers' decisions regarding diversified farming systems across stages of decision‐making ...

The use of mixed species cropping to manage pests and diseases – theory and practice [PDF]
, 2002 This paper was presented at the UK organic research 2002 on behalf of colloquium of Organic Researchers (COR). Mixed species cropping is often perceived as a viable tool to increase on-farm biodiversity in organic agriculture and is a potentially ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

Perennial clovers and ryegrasses as understorey crops in cereals [PDF]
, 2003 Perennial crops undersown in cereals provide ground cover from harvest of the cereal crop to sowing of the next crop. Such cover crops can e.g. reduce soil erosion, nutrient leaching and N fertiliser requirements of the succeeding crop.

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

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Nutrient supply to reed canary grass as a bioenergy crop [PDF]
, 2012 Production of renewable energy from herbaceous crops on agricultural land is of great interest since fossil fuels need to be replaced with sustainable energy sources. Reed canary grass (RCG), Phalaris arundinacea L.
