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.

Agrociencia, 2022 The historical milpa has contributed to food security of small farmer families due to its biodiversity. The objective was to evaluate indicators of food access [basic food baskets (BFB), minimum wages (MW) and real food security index (RFSI)], Land Equivalent Ratio (LER), and maximum net income (NI) obtained from the polyculture of native maize-husk ...

Agronomy Journal, 2016 Intercropping has been shown to be land use efficient, but there is a large variation in the land equivalent ratio (LER) among studies. We used quantile regression to estimate the effect of temporal niche differentiation and its interaction with other key characteristics of intercropping, i.e., crop type combination, N fertilizer, relative density, and

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum Hortorum Cultus, 2020 To determine effects of intercropping broccoli with onion and their correspondence to different nitrogen concentrations on growth, yield and nutrient contents, field studies were conducted for two years. In intercropping plots, onion sets were planted between broccoli rows. Broccoli and onion plants were also grown as monocrops. Nitrogen was applied at

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.

ASSESSING THE LAND EQUIVALENT RATIO (LER) OF TWO CORN [ZEA MAYS L.] VARIETIES INTERCROPPING AT VARIOUS NITROGEN LEVELS IN KARAJ, IRAN [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2006 The experiment was carried out to study effect of two corn varieties intercropping combinations (75%SC704:25%SC604, 50%SC704:50%SC604, 25%SC704:75%SC604) on land use efficiency at various nitrogen levels (150, 200, and 250 kg ha-1) using the Land ...
