Spatiotemporal Land Equivalent Ratio (ST-LER) for Agroforestry Design

Abstract Achieving climate resilience in Mediterranean agriculture hinges on adaptive strategies like agroforestry, yet optimization is constrained by retrospective indices that are effectively spatially blind and temporally static. Consequently, their utility is insufficient for guiding spatial design or quantifying the operational ...

Deep bed farming with maize–soybean intercropping improves maize yield and soil fertility in northern Malawi

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract In sub‐Saharan Africa smallholder farmers face challenges of declining soil fertility, erratic rainfall, low crop yields, and food insecurity. Deep bed farming (DBF), a conservation agriculture‐based approach promoted by Tiyeni in Malawi, shows potential to address these issues.

Intercropped melon-cowpea organic system can improve melon yield and land equivalent ratio

, 2019
Monocultures are very common in horticulture in many areas of the World with high intensification. This las led to reductions in soil organic matter content and soil fertility, high erosion rates, low above and belowground biodiversity, soil and water ...

Optimizing grain legume intercropping with buckwheat to improve weed management and reduce yield loss

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Increasing grain legume cultivation is key to Europe's protein autonomy and agroecological transition goals. Weeds represent a major issue for grain legumes, commonly managed mechanically in organic farming, although intercropping (IC) is emerging as an agronomic alternative.

Sorghum–Soybean Intercropping for Yield Benefit: A Systematic Review and Exploratory Meta-Analysis

Agronomy
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)–soybean (Glycine max L.) intercropping produces a significant yield advantage over monocropping. However, a comprehensive synthesis is lacking to quantify yield benefits.

Optimizing seeding ratios of field pea–brown mustard intercrops in Atlantic Canada

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Intercropping is a promising approach for ecological intensification that can enhance productivity and agroecosystem services. This study evaluated the agroecological performance of field pea (Pisum sativum) and brown mustard (Brassica juncea) intercropping across seeding ratios (0.5×, 1.0×, and 1.5× the recommended rates; 100 seeds m−2 ...

Effects of organic amendments on productivity, nitrogen uptake, and protein content in pea–barley intercrops

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Cereal‐legume intercropping combined with organic amendments is considered to be a promising technique to improve crop productivity and efficiency in land use. The intercropping performance is influenced by pedoclimatic conditions, crop combinations, and crop management.

Occurrence of oidium in cowpea influenced by cropping system and planting season

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a crop of major importance in semiarid regions, where powdery mildew can significantly reduce productivity. This study evaluated powdery mildew severity in four cowpea cultivars grown under monocropping and intercropping with two biomass sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) across two planting seasons (
