Maize-soybean intercropping is practiced worldwide because of some of the anticipated
advantages such as high crop yield and better utilization of resources (ie, water, light …

Soybean is a leguminous crop known for its efficient nitrogen utilization and ease of
cultivation. However, its intercropping with maize may lead to severe reduction in its growth …

Combinability of species in intercrops depends on the production conditions and there is
limited information on the potential of intercropping under conventional (ie, non-organic) …

Selenium (Se) is a beneficial element, but only when present within its permissible range. Its
hyper-accumulation in edible plant parts can cause Se toxicity. This study aimed to develop …

Intercropping can promote positive plant–soil interactions resulting in improved nutrient
