Cereal/legume intercropping typically increases crop yield; however, the mechanisms
through which soil microbes mediate overyielding in intercropping under different nutrient …

Phosphorus (P) is a finite and pivotal resource in determining plant yield. Intercropping with
legumes is frequently proposed to improve P nutrition in many crops such as wheat, and the …

Although the importance of the soil microbiome in mediating plant community structures and
functions has been increasingly emphasized in ecological studies, the biological processes …

Facilitation of plant growth and phosphorus (P) acquisition has recently been reported in
cereal–legume intercropping systems. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that …

Intercropping is of interest to farmers and researchers because of the increase in productivity
observed in these systems. Beneficial soil microorganisms present in the microbiome could …

Grain legumes/cereals intercropping systems with microbial inoculants, hold promise for
improving crop productivity under stressful conditions. However, the tripartite interaction …

Soil microbes are important for nutrient cycling and ecosystem functions in diverse farmland
systems. Intercropping systems alter the soil microbial community structure and boost …

Aim Intercropping often leads to improved productivity of individual species compared to
monocultures. We have practically little knowledge of facilitation effects in different …

Intercropping of cereal and legume can improve the use of resources for crop growth
compared to cropping system. An increase in soil phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) …

Soil microbes form complex interactive networks throughout the soil and plant rhizosphere.
These interactions can result in emergent properties for consortia that are not predictable …
