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
