Promoting plant diversity through crop mixtures is a mainstay of the agroecological
transition. Modelling this transition requires considering both plant–plant interactions and …

Understanding trait–trait coordination is essential for successful plant breeding and crop
modeling. Notably, plant size drives variation in morphological, physiological, and …

Legumes can be regarded as a good alternative in intercropping systems to increase soil
fertility and biodiversity whilst enhancing crop production and reducing fertilizer use. The …

Maintaining yield when reducing inputs is one prime objective of sustainable agriculture. In
this context, cereal-legume intercropping is a practice that can achieve increased yield …

Cereal-legume intercropping is known to improve the sustainability of crop production.
However, it remains uncommon on commercial farms in Europe due to a number of socio …

CONTEXT Although cereal–legume intercropping is a recognized approach to improve crop
production sustainability, its uptake on European commercial farms remains slow, due to …

Introduction Rice plays a critical role in human livelihoods and food security. However, its
cultivation requires inputs that are not accessible to all farming communities and can have …

Plant metabolism is a key feature of biodiversity that remains underexploited in functional
frameworks used in agroecology. Here, we study how phytochemical diversity considered at …

Increasing crop diversification is crucial for developing more sustainable agricultural
systems, and cereal-legume intercropping is a promising strategy. This study investigates …

Field experiments are a key source of data and knowledge in agricultural research. An
emerging practice is to compile the measurements and results of these experiments (rather …
