N2 Fixation, N Transfer, and Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) in Grain Legume–Wheat Intercropping: Impact of N Supply and Plant Density [PDF]
PlantsIntercropping legumes with cereals can lead to increased overall yield and optimize the utilization of resources such as water and nutrients, thus enhancing agricultural efficiency. Legumes possess the unique ability to acquire nitrogen (N) through both N2 fixation and from the available N in the soil.

Land Equivalent Ratio (LER), and Competition Indices in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) – Sesame (Sesamum indicum) Intercropping System [PDF]
Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, 2018 Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and sesame (Sesamum indicum) are two major crops in Islamic Republic of IRAN. In the northeast of IRAN, most farmers' landholdings are less than 5 hectares; therefore cotton production cost is high. Agricultural experts suggest that one method for improving productivity is intercropping system.

The potential of intercropping food crops and energy crop to improve productivity of a degraded agriculture land in arid tropics [PDF]
Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2014 Degraded agricultural lands in the arid tropics have low soil organic carbon (SOC) and hence low productivity. Poor farmers that their livelihoods depend highly on these types of lands are suffering.

Optimizing Row Ratio Configurations for Enhanced Productivity and Resource-Use Efficiency in Maize–Alfalfa Intercropping [PDF]
PlantsMaize–alfalfa intercropping is practiced in Northeast China to improve land productivity and forage production. However, competition between the two crops can reduce system performance, which calls for an emphasis on optimal row ratio. Hence, the current
