Intercropping can improve yield and nitrogen use efficiency in organic vegetable production by pairing crops with complementary resource use. An intercrop field experiment was conducted to determine yield, root growth (N) dynamics using faba bean (Vicia L.) grown as a pointed cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata cv. conica). Both were monocropping (MC) intercropping systems (IC). Minirhizot...

intercropping is a correct method of management for crop production and leads to improvement of resource absorption and use by plants. in order to evaluate light interception and some characteristics of canopy in monocropping and intercropping of maize (zea mays l.) and faba bean (vicia faba l.) under climatic conditions of tabriz, a field experiment was conducted in 2006-2007 at the research s...

The maize pulse intercropping participatory experiment was conducted using randomised complete block design with three replications on selected farmers’ fields for two years the districts of South Achefer and Jabitenan in 2014 2015 cropping seasons. faba bean treatements were improved varieties i.e Wolki, Moti, Tumsa, Dosha, Gebelcho, Degaga, Holetta-2, Obse. variety QPM 545. tested intercrops ...

in order to study the effect of planting pattern and nitrogen application on barley and faba bean yield and quality of forage in intercropping, an experiment was conducted on farm of agricultural and natural resources faculty of gonbad kavous university as factorial based on rcbd with three replications in 2012-2013. planting pattern consisted of five levels, i.e. sole barley, intercropping of ...

Intercropping systems compared to monoculture systems can more efficiently use the existing resources which ultimately will lead to increased plant performance. Therefore, to evaluate the benefits of intercropping maize and beans and assess its impact on yield and yield’s component, an experiment was conducted in factorial design with randomized complete block design in three replication, in 20...

Mixed intercropping of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with faba bean (Vicia faba L.) was compared with sole cropping for three growing seasons 2001–2003) at Holetta Agricultural Research Centre, in the central highlands of Ethiopia. The treatments were sole barley (125 kg ha−1), sole aba bean (200 kg ha−1) and an additive series of 12.5, 25, 37.5, 50 and 62.5% of the sole seed rate of faba bean mi...

Intercropping systems compared to monoculture systems can more efficiently use the existing resources which ultimately will lead to increased plant performance. Therefore, to evaluate the benefits of intercropping maize and beans and assess its impact on yield and yield’s component, an experiment was conducted in factorial design with randomized complete block design in three replication, in 20...

Given the growing challenges to food and eco-environmental security as well as sustainable development of animal husbandry in the farming and pastoral areas of northeast China, it is crucial to identify advantageous intercropping modes and some constraints limiting its popularization. In order to assess the performance of various intercropping modes of maize and alfalfa, a field experiment was ...

Intercropping is regarded as an important agricultural practice to improve crop production and environmental quality in the regions with intensive agricultural production, e.g., northern China. To optimize agronomic advantage of maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) intercropping system compared to monoculture of maize, two sequential experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 was to s...
