Land Equivalent Ratio of Groundnut-Fingermillet Intercrops as Affected by Plant Combination Ratio, and Nitrogen and Water Availability [PDF]
Plant Production Science, 1998 Field experiments were conducted to characterize intercropping advantages in groundnut-fingermillet intercrop in relation to crop combination ratios, soil moisture and nitrogen (N) availability. Three intercrops in 1 : 2, 1 : 1 and 2 : 1 alternating rows

Intercropping garlic in strawberry fields improves land equivalent ratio and gross income [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2019 : Studies showed that intercropping garlic reduced pests in strawberry field crops. However, influence of intercropping on yield was not tested. The objective of the study was to evaluate the strawberry pseudofruit and garlic bulb productions in ...

Field Crops Research, 2015 Abstract Sustainable intensification of agriculture is needed to meet higher future food demands while mitigating agriculture’s ecological footprint. Intercropping is a strategy for increasing agricultural productivity per unit land that is based on ecological mechanisms for improved resource capture.

The robustness of land equivalent ratio as a measure of yield advantage of multi-crop systems over monocultures [PDF]
Experimental Results, 2022 Land equivalent ratio (LER) is a most widely used indicator of yield advantage of multi-crop farms over sole-crop farms, and usually measured using crop biomass yield per unit area. Most often, crop yields are compared between both systems using the same

The Concept of a ‘Land Equivalent Ratio’ and Advantages in Yields from Intercropping [PDF]
Experimental Agriculture, 1980 SUMMARYCriteria for evaluating different intercropping situations are suggested, and the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) concept is considered for situations where intercropping must be compared with growing each crop sole. The need to use different standardizing sole crop yields in forming LERs is discussed, and a method of calculating an ‘effective LER ...
