Seasonal Changes in a Maize-Based Polyculture of Central Mexico Reshape the Co-occurrence Networks of Soil Bacterial Communities

The milpa is a traditional maize-based polyculture in Mexico that is typically practiced as rainfed agriculture. Because milpa cultivation has been practiced over a vast range of environmental and cultural conditions, this agroecosystem is recognized as an important repository of biological and cultural diversity. As for any agroecosystem, the relationship between plant development and the biog...

Switching from monoculture to polyculture farming benefits birds in oil palm production landscapes: Evidence from mist netting data

Monoculture farming is pervasive in industrial oil palm agriculture, including those RSPO plantations certified as sustainably managed. This farming practice does not promote the maintenance of farmland biodiversity. However, little scientific attention has been given to polyculture farming in oil palm production landscapes. Polyculture farming is likely to increase the floristic diversity and ...

comparison survey of growth and survival rate of white leg shrimp in monoculture and polyculture system with mullet in gowatr earth pond- chabahar, iran

this investigation was conducted to survey the growth and survival rate, weight average, fcr, and harvestable white leg shrimp biomass during 107 days culture in mono and poly culture earth pond system with mullet fish. nine 600 m2 earth ponds  were prepared and stocked with 20 shrimp post larvae in each pond (mean weight 0.007 ±0.001 g) for three treatments (each with three replication). after...
