A General form of the ‘Land Equivalent Ratio’
Experimental Agriculture, 1984 SUMMARYThe Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) concept is presented and interpreted. Several different intercropping systems are considered and the need for methods to evaluate them is discussed. A general form of the LER is proposed for the evaluation, in particular, of a system that combines two intercrops having different yield proportions.

Evaluation of the Land Equivalent Ratio index in barley-pea and bread wheat-faba bean intercropping.
First European Conference on Crop Diversification: Book of Abstracts., 2019 The Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) is a very useful index to let farmers understand the advantages of intercropping vs pure crops. In 2018 the LERs of barley-pea and bread wheat-faba bean intercropping were evaluated. The results suggest that both intercropping combinations are very interesting for pedo-climatic environments of Central Italy, especially ...

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 ...
