Maize and Potato Intercropping: A Technology to Increase Productivity and Profitability in Tigray
Open Agriculture, 2017 Smallholders have limited landholding in the highlands of Tigray and therefore there is a critical need to improve land use efficiency (LUE). One way to improve the LUE is through intercropping of companion crops including maize and potato. An experiment

Improving Fodder Beet and Faba Bean Productivity by Intercropping under Phosphorus and Plant Density Levels in Arid Conditions [PDF]
Journal of Desert and Environmental Agriculture, 2022 A two-year study was conducted to test the effect of intercropping faba bean with fodder beet on the productivity of both crops, and land use efficiency of the system, when variable faba bean plant densities (D) were practiced, i.e. 42000 (D1), 84000 (D2)

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

Exploring Agrivoltaics: A Pathway to Climate-Resilient and Productive Land Use in Northern Bangladesh. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT The growing demand for food, energy, and water in resource‐constrained regions intensifies land‐use conflicts, where solar photovoltaic (PV) expansion often competes with agriculture. Agrivoltaics, the co‐location of crop cultivation beneath PV systems, offers a potential dual‐use solution to enhance land efficiency. This study presents one of

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 ...
