Sustainable food production is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century in the
era of global environmental problems such as climate change, increasing population and …

Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their
impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems, due to their ability to form a symbiosis …

The beneficial effect of intercropping system under low phosphorus (P) conditions has
already been reported in previous works. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis …

Traditional farming practices are based on the indigenous knowledge and experience
developed over the centuries and have remained popular even now. Common traditional …

It is well known that legume–cereal intercropping systems are more efficient in terms of
resources use, in particular nitrogen (N) and water. However, the response of this cropping …

Legumes improve agricultural sustainability through symbiotic dinitrogen (N 2) fixation which
constitutes a major input into agroecosystems and may provide an ecologically acceptable …

Legumes have a high demand for phosphorus (P) but also have effective physiological and
morphological strategies of P mobilisation. In order to evaluate the inter-and intraspecific P …

Little is known about the occurrence of phosphorus (P) acquisition processes in the field,
especially for faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in calcareous soils. We sampled soil, rhizosphere …

Intercropping ensures multiple benefits like enhancement of yield, environmental security,
production sustainability, and greater ecosystem services. In order to better understand how …

Core Ideas Phosphorus use efficiency may be classified as trait for P‐deficiency tolerance.
Low soil P availability is a limiting factor of the rhizobial symbiosis. The increase of P content …
