Using drones to upscale yield and land-equivalent-ratio from plot to stand in an agro-silvo-pastoral system: the “Faidherbia-Flux” collaborative observatory (groundnut basin, Senegal)

, 2019
The adaptation of semi-arid crops to climate changes is theoretically possible in agroforestry systems (AFS), provided that the trees exert little competition, or even increase the land equivalent ratio (LER).

Land Equivalent Ratio of Groundnut-Fingermillet Intercrops as Affected by Plant Combination Ratio, and Nitrogen and Water Availability

, 1998
Field experiments were conducted to characterize intercropping advantages in groundnut-fingermillet intercrop in relation to crop combination ratios, soil moisture and nitrogen (N) availability. Three intercrops in 1 : 2, 1 : 1 and 2 : 1 alternating rows

Studies on Yield, Land Equivalent Ratio and Crop Performance Rate in Maize-Mungbean Intercropping

, 2000
A field experiment was conducted on maize-mungbean intercropping to assess the yield advantage from the viewpoint of growth process. Three maize densities (75×50, 75×30, 75×15cm^2) were intercropped with mungbean one row between maize rows. Intercropping

Mixing trees and crops increases land and water use efficiencies in a semi-arid area

, 2016
Sustainable increases in food production in semi-arid regions require efficient use of land and water resources. Agroforestry is the practice of combining tree and crop cultivation on a land parcel and may increase both land productivity and water use ...
