Background The potential benefits of intercropping are manifold and have been repeatedly
demonstrated. Intercropping has the potential to create more productive and resilient …

Intercropping exploits species complementarities to achieve sustainable intensification by
increasing crop outputs per unit land with reduced anthropogenic inputs. Cereal/legume …

Sustainable intensification of agriculture is needed to meet higher future food demands
while mitigating agriculture's ecological footprint. Intercropping is a strategy for increasing …

Aims Intercropping cereals with legumes may achieve high crop yields at reduced input
levels. Several studies have indicated that intercropping increases phosphorus use …

Strip intercropping has been widely applied in arid and semi-arid regions due to high and
stable productivity and efficient utilization of resources. Intercropping can increase water use …

Sustainable increases in crop production require efficient use of resources, and
intercropping can improve water use efficiency and land productivity at reduced inputs …

This paper reviews recent research on the processes involved in the yield advantage in
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/maize (Zea mays L.), wheat/soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] …

Intercropping is one of the most vital practice to improve land utilization rate in China that
has limited arable land resource. However, the traditional intercropping systems have many …

Abstract Background Phosphorus (P), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are essential elements for plant
growth and development, but their availability in soil is often limited. Intercropping …
