TLDR
Two phases of early vegetative growth were identified by their different responses to combined nitrogen, primarily through an increased partitioning of assimilates to shoot development and a period of nitrogen stress which lasted only until the 3rd week.Abstract:
Pea plants (Pisum sativum L. cv. Trapper) were inoculated and grown in controlled-environment chambers at two irradiance levels. Shoot and root dry weights and nitrogen contents, total leaf and sti...read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential advantages of eco-functional intensification in organic farming by intercropping cereal and grain legume species sown and harvested together are reviewed based on a literature analysis reinforced with integration of an original dataset of 58 field experiments conducted since 2001 in contrasted pedo-climatic European conditions.

The comparison of nitrogen use and leaching in sole cropped versus intercropped pea and barley
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of sole and intercropping of field pea and spring barley on crop yield, NO3- leaching and N balance in the cropping system was tested in a 2-year lysimeter experiment on a temperate sandy loam soil.

Intercropping of grain legumes and cereals improves the use of soil N resources and reduces the requirement for synthetic fertilizer N: A global-scale analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the global sole cropped grain legume-cereal intercrop experiments, employing stable 15N isotope methods, have shown that due to competitive interactions and complementary N acquisition in intercrops, the cereals recover a more than proportional share of the soil N sources.
