Production Potential and Weed Dynamics in Maize + Legumes Intercropping System

evaluation of forage quality in intercropping maize with some legumes

in order to evaluate forage quality in intercropping, two field experiments were carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran, in 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 growing seasons. two maize (zea mays l.) hybrids (sc704, sc301), vetch (vicia villosa), bitter vetch (vicia ervilia), ber...

An evaluation of yield in "intercropping of maize and potato"

Abstract To find out how maize and potato can grow and develop in an intercropping system rather than each grown alone in a sole cropping system the following factorial experiment was performend in the frame-work of a randomized complete block three replications in the experimental farm of the faculty of agriculture, Zanjan University in year 2004. Different potato to maize ratios of (1:0), i...

Weed Dynamics during Transition to Conservation Agriculture in Western Kenya Maize Production

Weed competition is a significant problem in maize (Zea mays, L.) production in Sub-Saharan Africa. Better understanding of weed management and costs in maize intercropped with beans (Phaseolus vulgaris, L.) during transition to conservation agricultural systems is needed. Changes in weed population and maize growth were assessed for a period of three years at Bungoma where crops are grown twic...

Intercropping System Optimization for Yield, Quality, and Weed Suppression Combining Mechanistic and Descriptive Models

concluded that the intercropping system needed to be optimized with respect to crop quality and weed supIntercropping leek (Allium porrum L.) with celery (Apium graveopression for successful implementation and suggested lens L.) is an option to reduce growth and reproductive potential of weeds while maintaining productivity. In this study, a combined applying ecophysiological simulation models ...
