introduction intercropping is an old and widespread practice used in low input cropping systems in many areas of the world. in fact, intercropping is claimed to be one of the most significant cropping techniques in sustainable agriculture, and many researches and reviews attribute its utilization to the number of environmental benefits from promoting land biodiversity to diversifying agricultur...

Yield of some crops performs better in the intercropping than sole cropping system. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) canopy is fragile providing a lot of ground cover, hence, therefore, has a great potential to intercrop with a short stature and/or duration crop making it comparable for the better net return in a cropping system. Field experiment was, therefore, expressly conducted to study the...

Cereal crops especially maize production in Ethiopian Central Rift Valley is affected by biotic and abiotic production. This study was conducted for two seasons (2015-2016) the best cropping system identified using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The experiment had six treatments (1) Continuous mono-cropping under conventional practice (CN), (2) continuous mono conserv...

the experiment was conducted in order to evaluate of competitive and economic indices in canola and pea intercropping at different rates of nitrogen fertilizer at shahrekord university research farm during 1390 - 1391. intercropping and sole cropping treatments (100% canola; 66% canola + 33% pea, 50% canola + 50% pea; 33% canola + 66% pea; 100% pea) were evaluated as the first factor and nitrog...

although the physiological and morphological differences between intercropped species caused a higher wue possibly, most researches on multiple cropping systems have focused on yields and the resources use efficiency (water, light and nutrients) has been less investigated. in addition, optimal use of nitrogen is important to attain sustainable agriculture due to its role in wue improvement. the...

an experiment was conducted at the research farm of the faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran in 2012 to study the effect of intercropping of chickpea and dragon’s head on yield, yield components and morphological traits of dragon’s head as affected by four weed management time. the experiment was laid out in rcb design with three replications. intercropping patterns included; a1, ...

Field experiment was conducted at Akwa Ibom State University teaching and research farm during the 2020 2021 cropping seasons to evaluate growth yield of cocoyam on varying rates organic manure in a based-intercropping system Obio Akpa, Nigeria. Experiment laid out randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments were four – PM 0 t/ha, 2.5 5.0 7.5 t/ha) crop mixtures - Sole ...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of different intercropping design maize/soybean compared with sole cropping, in combination Vitormone (biofertilizer; Azotobacter) during 2012 and 2013. There were four designs used experiment: i) maize soybean, ii) 1 + soybean alternate rows, iii) 2 soybeans rows iv) intra under control application. The experiment laid out a randomized complete...
