Strip Intercrop of Barley, Wheat, Triticale, Oat, Pea and Yellow Lupine—A Meta-Analysis

The simultaneous sowing of two or more species in the same field without a fixed location relation to each other—mixed intercropping—is associated with problem optimizing agrotechnics for plants different requirements and instability composition crop. An alternative which eliminates these problems can be strip intercropping. Based on published results seven long-term experiments aimed at understanding proximity effect various intercropping, mathematical simulation intercropping production effects was performed: oat/lupine, barley/pea, wheat/pea, triticale/pea, wheat/barley, wheat/triticale, triticale/barley. takes into account widths strips possibility their separation by path. yield consisting cereals legumes similar average both components grown single-species crops. Separating cereal from legume plant path did not have major total yield; however, it increased share yield. width also important terms individual yield, especially when were separated Taking level technical possibilities separately, as well separate harvesting, then paths, 3 m wide strips, are justified. analysis showed that formation paths only does bring benefits compared monoculture components.
