Increased Productivity of a Cover Crop Mixture Is Not Associated with Enhanced Agroecosystem Services [PDF]
Cover crops provide a variety of important agroecological services within cropping systems. Typically these crops are grown as monocultures or simple graminoid-legume bicultures; however, ecological theory and empirical evidence suggest that ...

Study effect of sowing ratios in Marigold (Calendula officinalis) and Mungbean (Vigna radiata) intercropping systems on weed control and Mungbean yield improvement [PDF]
Introduction Sustainability of agricultural systems may improve due to intercropping as a result of diversity increasing. Marigold (Calendula officinalis) is a major medicinal plant from Asteraceae family, though weeds suppress it because of lower ...

Maize and Potato Intercropping: A Technology to Increase Productivity and Profitability in Tigray
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

Dynamic analysis of competition and complementarity for light and N use to understand the yield and the protein content of a durum wheat-winter pea intercrop [PDF]
In a previous paper (Bedoussac and Justes 2009, Plant and Soil DOI: 10.1007/s11104-009-0082-2), we showed that intercropping of durum wheat and winter pea increased the yield and protein concentration of durum wheat when early N availability was less ...
