Steadily rising prices for timber on Mindanao in the Philippines have given an incentive to farmers to devote some of their land to fast-growing tree species. The costs and bene®ts of intercropping young timber trees with food crops was studied in a 1000 stem haÿ1 stand of Paraserianthes falcataria. At 2 years of age, diameter at breast height and height of intercropped trees were 33 and 21% gr...

The purpose of this factorial field experiment was to investigate the influence farming systems (FS) and intercropping patterns (IPs) on physiological aspects safflower bitter vetch. Treatments included high low-input various IPs that exchanged vetch with row ratios 2:2, 2:3, 2:4, 2:5, while sole cropping (SS) (SB) were used as control. highest grain yield both plants obtained from input system...

Field experiments were conducted at Yaba College of Technology Instructional and Research Farm during 2019/2020 wet dry seasons to investigate the performance cowpea chilli pepper intercropping for management insect pests cowpea. The experiment was arranged in alternate (chilli cowpea), strip cropping border around cowpea) sole a randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated three times wi...

Objective: For investigation of intercropping of maize and faba bean, an experiment was conducted in Research Station of Agriculture Faculty of Tabriz University during growing season of 2013. Methods: Experimental design was randomized complete block design with three replications and seven treatment. Treatments included one row intercropping (1:1), 4 strip intercropping pattern with ratios of...

Food security is threatened by the combined pressures of increasing populations and climate change. Agricultural land vulnerable to overexploitation environmental Within this review, we identify role multiple cropping systems as an adaptation method towards Intercropping, relay or simultaneous cultivation two more crops, agroforestry, incorporation trees on at least 10% agricultural land, provi...

The intercropping of two or more crop species on the same piece land at a given time has been hypothesized to enhance yield stability. To address this hypothesis, we assessed grain stability various barley-pea and wheat-faba bean mixtures grown in seven experimental field trials (locations) across Europe during years with contrasting weather (2017 2018). Three different measures were used, all ...

The dearth of fertile ‘virgin’ land and inaccessibility to standard chemical fertilizers, coupled with low tuber yields has made cassava cultivation unprofitable in parts of traditional cassava zone of West Africa. Field experiments were conducted at Ajibode and Alabata villages located in Ibadan (derived savanna zone), Nigeria to evaluate cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) root yield response ...

Cropping pattern in the Himalayan region of India has undergone a significant change in the recent past. Introduction of horticultural crops such as vegetables, fruits and flowers has led to more intensive agriculture. Such a change, resulting in higher incomes and improvements of the overall living conditions has, however, been accompanied with increased income risk. This emphasizes the need f...
