K. Carruthers,Balakrishnan Prithiviraj,Q. Fe,Daniel C. Cloutier,Ralph C. Martin,Donald L. Smith +5 more
TLDR
Intercropping systems influence yield variables of the component crops, such as harvest index, hundred seed weight, number of reproductive organs and number of seeds, within each reproductive unit within each intercropping unit.About:

Journal Article
Annual intercrops: an alternative pathway for sustainable agriculture.
TL;DR: Intercropping, the agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at the same time, is an old and commonly used cropping practice which aims to match efficiently crop demands to the available growth resources and labor as mentioned in this paper.

Interspecific competition, n use and interference with weeds in pea-barley intercropping
TL;DR: Pea-barley intercropping seems to be a promising practise of protein production in cropping system with high weed pressures and low levels of available N.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pea-barley intercropping for efficient symbiotic N2-fixation, soil N acquisition and use of other nutrients in European organic cropping systems
Henrik Hauggaard-Nielsen,Michael Gooding,Per Ambus,Guénaëlle Corre-Hellou,Yves Crozat,C. Dahlmann,A. Dibet,P. von Fragstein,A. Pristeri,Michele Monti,Erik Steen Jensen +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that pea–barley intercropping is a relevant cropping strategy to adopt when trying to optimize N2-fixation inputs to the cropping system.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal and spatial distribution of roots and competition for nitrogen in pea-barley intercrops – a field study employing 32P technique
TL;DR: Intercropping of pea and barley improved the utilization of plant growth resources (LER > 1) as compared to sole crops and proved to be a valuable tool for determining root dynamics in intercropping systems.

Cereal–Legume Intercropping Systems
Francis Ofori,W.R. Stern +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the various aspects of cereal-legume intercropping systems Intercropping is the growing of two or more crop species simultaneously in the same field during a growing season.

Multiple Cropping Systems
TL;DR: In this article, multiple cropping systems are used in the context of multi-cropings, and the authors propose a method for using multiple croppers in a multi-crop system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processes determining intercrop productivity and yields of component crops
Shu Fukai,B.R. Trenbath +1 more
TL;DR: This review examines how intercrop productivity is determined, by analysing several key physiological processes which affect yields of component crops, and identifies more appropriate agronomic manipulations and cultivars for intercrops.

Resource capture and use in intercropping: solar radiation
Brian Keating,P.S. Carberry +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a framework is presented on radiation interception and use in sole crops and elements of this framework are subsequently extended to intercropping systems to achieve improved productivity per unit incident radiation could be achieved by the adoption of an intercrop system that either increases the interception of solar radiation and/or has greater radiation-use efficiency.
