Pearl Millet–Groundnut Cropping Systems for the Sahel
A two-year study of pearl millet–groundnut cropping systems across two fertilizer levels was conducted in Maradi, Niger, in the Sahelian zone of West Africa. The objective of this study was to identify the best cropping system with and without fertilizer

Effect of maize intercrop plant densities on yield and beta-carotene contents of orange-fleshed sweetpotatoes [PDF]
Despite efforts to demonstrate the value of orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) (Ipomoea batatas L.) and quality protein maize (Zea mays L.) in combating vitamin A and protein malnutrition, small land holdings by rural poor farmers still limit the crops ...

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 ...

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

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
