Abstract:
... Due to decreasing land units and a decline in soil fertility, integrating mung beans into the Sorghum production system is a viable option for increasing productivity and producing cash crops. The experiment was conducted during the 2017 and 2018 cropping seasons in order to evaluate the effect of a Sorghum-mung bean intercrop arrangement on a Sorghum-based cropping system that would maximize inte ...

Abstract:
... Intercropping, by capitalizing on positive biodiversity–productivity relationships, represents a promising option to increase agricultural sustainability. However, the complexity and context-dependency of plant–plant interactions can make it challenging for farmers to find suitable crop combinations. Furthermore, intercropping is usually implemented with standard inter-row spacing and plant densit ...

Whether a plant grows in monoculture or in a multi-species mixture can affect allocation of plant assimilates, belowground exudation, and microbial stimulation. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of inter-cropping on a previously overlooked aspec ...

Abstract:
... Cocoa-plantain intercropping is espoused in Ghana as a countervailing strategy for cocoa price fluctuation and household food insecurity. However, the call for a production shift from high-value crops to food staples within an intercropping system is based on limited empirical evidence. Moreover, although intercropping connotes efficient farmland use, there is an inconclusive argument about the ef ...
