From sole crops to strip cropping: Decision rules of frontrunner farmers in The Netherlands. [PDF]
Strip cropping, where several crops are grown in adjacent long and narrow multi-row strips, is an innovation niche that challenges monocropping by offering a greater range of ecosystem services, including higher biodiversity and aesthetic value at similar yield.

Intercropping enhances productivity and maintains the most soil fertility properties relative to sole cropping. [PDF]
Yield and nutrient acquisition advantages are frequently found in intercropping systems. However, there are few published reports on soil fertility in intercropping relative to monocultures. A field experiment was therefore established in 2009 in Gansu province, northwest China.

Multi-Traits Selection of Maize Hybrids under Sole-Crop and Multiple-Crops with Soybean
Multi-trait selection is very helpful in plant breeding programs. This technique can select genotypes for specific traits. Yield performance of maize hybrids is influenced by genotype-by-environment interactions (GEIs). This requires multi-environmental testing to identify superior hybrids.

Advantage of Intercropping Roselle with Common Bean over Sole Cropping in Ethiopia
Este experimento se llevó a cabo en Etiopía, durante la temporada seca 2017/2018 para determinar la ventaja del frijol roselle sobre el cultivo de lenguado a través de índices de competencia. El experimento se llevó a cabo en un RCBD con una disposición factorial 2x4 y se replicó tres veces con 11 tratamientos (cultivo de lenguado de dos variedades de ...

COWPEA GROWTH AND YIELD IN SOLE CROP AND INTERCROPPED WITH MILLET [PDF]
ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the growth and yield of cowpea grains in different intercropping systems with millet, in wet and dry seasons. The experiments were performed in the experimental field of the Department of Plant Science of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, using a randomized block design with ...

Yield and Quality of Wheat and Soybean in Sole‐ and Double‐Cropping
In temperate environments, the wheat–soybean [Triticum aestivum L.–Glycine max (L.) Merr.] double‐crop system often improves the capture and use efficiency of radiation and water in relation to single crops. Here we assessed the yield and quality of wheat and soybean in relay and sequential double‐crops as compared with control sole‐crops in the ...
