Pomegranate–Quinoa-Based Agroforestry System: An Innovative Strategy to Alleviate Salinity Effects and Enhance Land Use Efficiency in Salt-Affected Semiarid Regions [PDF]

Plants
Salinity is a major problem, impeding soil productivity, agricultural sustainability, and food security, particularly in dry regions. This study integrates quinoa, a facultative halophyte, into a pomegranate-based agroforestry with saline irrigation in ...

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

Effects of interspecific competition on crop yield and nitrogen utilisation in maize-soybean intercropping system

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2021
Intercropping system plays a crucial role in improving crop yield, nitrogen utilisation efficiency (NUE) and economic benefit. The difference in crop yield and interspecific relationship under different bandwidth and row ratio allocation patterns are ...

An evaluation of yield in "intercropping of maize and potato" [PDF]

Desert, 2007
To find out how maize and potato can grow and develop in an intercropping system rather than each grown alone in a sole cropping system the following factorial experiment was performend in the frame-work of a randomized complete block three replications ...

Assessing the land equivalent ratio (LER) of two corn (Zea mays L.) varieties -0 intercropping at various nitrogen levels in Karaj, Iran

, 2022
The experiment was carried out to study effect of two corn varieties intercropping combinations (75%SC704:25%SC604, 50%SC704:50%SC604, 25%SC704:75%SC604) on land use efficiency at various nitrogen levels (150, 200, and 250 kg ha-1) using the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER).
