Growth analysis and land equivalent ratio of fenugreek-buckwheat intercrops at different fertilizer types [PDF]
Die Bodenkultur, 2018 Intercropping can increase crop growth and yield due to improved resource use efficiency. A two-year field experiment was performed in Shahrekord (Iran) to determine the effect of crop stand composition and fertilizer type on the productions of ...

Land Equivalent Ratio in the Intercropping of Cucumber with Lettuce as a Function of Cucumber Population Density [PDF]
Agriculture, 2020 Lettuce and cucumber are two important vegetables cultivated in greenhouses. Intercropping can increase the yield without increasing the demands for inputs. A more efficient use of resources in production systems can reduce costs and environmental impacts.

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.

Specific interactions leading to transgressive overyielding in cover crop mixtures [PDF]
, 2017 Growing mixtures of species instead of sole crops is expected to increase the ecosystem services provided by cover crops. This study aimed at understanding the interactions between species and investigating how they affect the performance of the mixture.

The robustness of land equivalent ratio as a measure of yield advantage of multi-crop systems over monocultures [PDF]
Experimental Results, 2022 Abstract 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 area.
