Intercropping Enhances Productivity and Maintains the Most Soil Fertility Properties Relative to Sole Cropping
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. The treatments comprised maize/faba bean, maize/soybean, maize/chickpea and maize/turnip intercropping, and their cor...
متن کاملRole of soil fertility management on productivity of sesame and cowpea under different cropping systems
ABSTRACT- Declining land productivity associated with decreasing soil organic carbon and nutrients is a significant issue in monoculture production. The field experiment with different rates of fertilizer systems (60 kg ha-1 N + 100 kg ha-1 P, 300 kg ha-1 Bio-organic (organic fertilizer), 3 kg ha-1 Bioumik (biofertilizer), 30 kg ha-1 N + 50 kg ha-1 P + 150 kg ha-1 Bio-organic fertilizer and 30...
متن کاملModelling The Long-Term Productivity And Soil Fertility Of Maize/Millet Cropping Systems In The Mid-Hills Of Nepal
In Nepal, maize is currently the second most important staple food crop after rice, having doubled in area over the past 30 years to around 800,000 ha. Due to population increases and increased demand for livestock fodder, demand for maize in Nepal is estimated to grow by 6-8% per annum over the next 20 years, representing a nearly four-fold increase over this period. Although the use of artifi...

متن کاملIncreasing Soil Organic Matter Enhances Inherent Soil Productivity while Offsetting Fertilization Effect under a Rice Cropping System
Understanding the role of soil organic matter (SOM) in soil quality and subsequent crop yield and input requirements is useful for agricultural sustainability. SOM is widely considered to affect a wide range of soil properties, however, great uncertainty still remains in identifying the relationships between SOM and crop yield due to the difficulty in separating the effect of SOM from other yie...
