The Principles Involved in Management of Intercropping and Sequence Cropping System Are Different . Intercropping Is Cropping System Management Practiced with Two Objectives : to Get Additional Yield through an Intercrop as a Bonus and to Avoid Risk

Cropping-Resilient Segmented Multiple Watermarking

Watermarking is a frequently used tool for digital rights management. An example of this is using watermarks to place ownership information into an object. There are many instances where placing multiple watermarks into the same object is desired. One mechanism that has been proposed for doing this is segmenting the data into a grid and placing watermarks into different regions of the grid. Thi...

Soil Chemical Property Changes in Eggplant/Garlic Relay Intercropping Systems under Continuous Cropping

Soil sickness is a critical problem for eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) under continuous cropping that affects sustainable eggplant production. Relay intercropping is a significant technique on promoting soil quality, improving eco-environment, and raising output. Field experiments were conducted from September 2010 to November 2012 in northwest China to determine the effects of relay intercrop...

An Integrated Decision Support System for Intercropping

Intercropping, which is the agricultural practice of growing two or more crops in the same land area, is not currently yielding adequate results in Africa. Despite the advantages of intercropping like improved soil fertility, protection against pests and diseases and eventual increase in farm yield, this farming practice is faced with challenges—inadequate planning, bad crop management and lack...
