Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most cultivated crops in temperate climates. As its
pests are mainly controlled with insecticides that are harmful to the environment and human …

Satisfying the nutritional needs of a growing population whilst limiting environmental
repercussions will require sustainable intensification of agriculture. We argue that …

As our rapidly growing human population puts great demands on our agricultural production
systems, we must promote management practices that balance both food and environmental …

A major path helping agriculture achieve the dual challenges of production and
environmental preservation, consists of transitioning from the current, external input-based …

Little is known about the impact of the combined application of intercropping and arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) on the plant growth and Cd accumulation in the two intercropped …

Re-diversifying agriculture through cereal-legume intercropping could provide higher
productivity, but the cultivars and traits associated with agronomic performance of …

Over-yielding in an intercropping system occurs when the productivity of the intercrop
exceeds the overall productivity of the systems managed in segregation. The objective of …

Plant breeding for intercropping is lagging because most varieties currently available in the
market are selected for sole cropping systems. The present study analyzed the response of …

Sustainable intensification practices (SIPs) involve a process to produce high yields for
existing land without affecting the environment. The significance and relevance of SIPs in a …
