Improving Fodder Beet and Faba Bean Productivity by Intercropping under Phosphorus and Plant Density Levels in Arid Conditions [PDF]
Journal of Desert and Environmental Agriculture, 2022 A two-year study was conducted to test the effect of intercropping faba bean with fodder beet on the productivity of both crops, and land use efficiency of the system, when variable faba bean plant densities (D) were practiced, i.e. 42000 (D1), 84000 (D2)

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 ...

Statistical Assessment of Different Ways of Calculating Land Equivalent Ratios (LER) [PDF]
Experimental Agriculture, 1982 SUMMARYThe use in analysis of variance of six different ways of calculating the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) was assessed. Criteria used are (1) normality of the residuals of LER values after fitting block and treatment effects, (2) precision of comparisons arising from the analysis of variance, and (3) possible bias in the means. These were examined in

Evaluation of Different Cropping Systems for Marginal Uplands in Inopacan, Leyte
Annals of Tropical Research, 2014 Low crop productivity in most marginal uplands is primarily due to poor agro-ecological conditions. There is a need to improve farming practices of upland farmers to improve their quality of life thus, the study was conducted in the marginal uplands of ...

The Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer Application and Planting Pattern on Yield and Competition Indices of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) [PDF]
پژوهشهای حبوبات ایرانIntroductionIntercropping, the agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at the same time, is an old and commonly used cropping practice which aims to match efficiently crop demands to the available growth resources.
