- Abstract:
- ... Vegetable intercropping is an alternative to the conventional system and characterised by a greater efficiency of land use and inputs. For this reason, it is a more sustainable and low greenhouse gas emission (GHG) cultivation model. Thus, the objective is to estimate direct and indirect GHG emissions and the carbon footprint per kilogram of vegetables produced using the intercropping and monocult ...

This review uses the ecological theory of intercropping to investigate the agronomic benefits and drawbacks of legume-oilseed intercropping and its place in mechanised broadacre agriculture. Complementary, ...

Sustainable production of high-yielding and high-quality forages such as alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is critically important for fast-growing animal husbandry regions such as the North China Plain (NCP). Alfalfa production in this region is limited during the hot-rainy summer period from July–September, but these conditions may allow the production of intercropped silage maize (Zea mays L.) follo ...

- Abstract:
- ... In intercropping systems, microclimate environment, especially light environment induced by row ratio configurations, is crucial to crop productivity. However, little information is available on how waxy sorghum canopy light environment is affected by row ratio configurations in waxy sorghum-soybean intercropping systems. Hence, field experiments were conducted in 2019 and 2020 to study the respon ...

Yet despite decades of promotion, CA uptake in SSA remains sparse with only few analyses of its impacts on farming and rural livelihoods. This study, which focuses on areas in Central Malawi considered to have a relatively high uptake of CA, uses analyses of satelli ...

- Abstract:

Soybean is an important legume crop that displays the classic shade avoidance syndrome (SAS), including exaggerated stem elongation, which leads to lodging and yield reduction under density farming conditions. Here, we compared the effects of two shade signals, low red light to far-red light ratio (R:FR) and low blue light (LBL), on soybean status and revealed that LBL predominantly induces excess ...

Maize yield gaps are large in the smallholder farming systems of ESA but can be closed by a combination of improved crop varieties and sustainable cropping systems. On-farm trials were conducted in five countries of ESA over a seven-year period to assess the effects of different cropping systems on maize producti ...

In these crop systems, nitrogen (N) is the most essential nutrient. Nitrogen needs vary according to environmental conditions and crop rotation and are higher when crop succession is performed with grasses only. Intercropping maize ...
