Intercropping is the simultaneous cultivation of plant species in the same field for a
considerable proportion of their growing periods. Interest in intercropping for sustainable …

Modern agriculture needs to develop transition pathways toward agroecological, resilient
and sustainable farming systems. One key pathway for such agroecological intensification is …

Winter wheat and spring maize strip intercropping system is widely practiced in northern
China. In this study, a field experiment with typical winter wheat and spring maize strip …

A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of alternate irrigation (AI) on the
yield, water use and water use efficiency (WUE) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)/maize (Zea …

Solar radiation must be efficiently utilised to enhance dry matter accumulation and carbon
sequestration capacity within dryland agroecosystems. The study evaluated the effects of …

Intercropping is a sustainable method for crop production used to maximize utilization of
