Forage sorghum-legumes intercropping: effect on growth, yields, nutritional quality and economic returns
Muhammad Aamir Iqbal,Abdul Hamid,Tanvir Ahmad,Muzammil H. Siddiqui,Imtiaz Hussain,Sajid Ali,Anser Ali,Zahoor Ahmad +7 more
TL;DR: Despite a significant increase in overall productivity, component crops suffer yield losses in intercropping systems owing to competition for the finite divisible pool of growth resources, so there is a dire need to optimize spatial and temporal arrangements in sorghum-legumes intercropped systems to achieve maximum productivity and economic returns.
