Response of cereals to intercropping with non‐food crops in tropical and subtropical regions: A meta‐analysis

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Intercropping cereals with non‐food intercrops (NFICs) provides a means to enhance cereal productivity while providing additional benefits such as improved soil health or forage production. We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the effect of NFICs on cereal yields, cereal nitrogen uptake, and striga (Striga spp.) infestation, using 874 ...
