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.

Effect of Relay Triple Intercropping Arrangements of Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris), Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), and Mung Bean (Vigna radiate L.) on Yield and Yield Components [PDF]
بوم شناسی کشاورزی, 2023 IntroductionIn conventional agriculture, crop production has gradually shifted from ecological production principles to economic approaches, which has led to the destruction of natural resources and land use change, as well as the reduction in resource ...

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.

Yield-SAFE: A parameter-sparse, process-based dynamic model for predicting resource capture, growth, and production in agroforestry systems. [PDF]
, 2007 1. Silvoarable agroforestry (SAF) is the cultivation of trees and arable crops on the same parcel of land. SAF may contribute to modern diversified land use objectives in Europe, such as enhanced biodiversity and productivity, reduced leaching of ...
