Soil Chemical Property Changes in Eggplant/Garlic Relay Intercropping Systems under Continuous Cropping

Soil sickness is a critical problem for eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) under continuous cropping that affects sustainable eggplant production. Relay intercropping is a significant technique on promoting soil quality, improving eco-environment, and raising output. Field experiments were conducted from September 2010 to November 2012 in northwest China to determine the effects of relay intercrop...

PERFORMANCES OF DIFFERENT HYBRID MAIZE (Zea mays L.) VARIETIES UNDER INTERCROPPING SYSTEMS WITH GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea

The experiment was carried out at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Jessore to evaluate the performance of different varieties of hybrid maize under intercropping systems with groundnut in rabi seasons to find out the suitable intercropping system in increasing crop productivity and profitability of consecutive two years (2004 and 2005). ...

Maize and Pigeonpea Intercropping Systems in Mpumalanga, South Africa

evaluation of growth and species composition of weeds in maize-cowpea intercropping based on additive series under organic farming condition

introduction weeds are main factors reducing crops yield, especially under organic farming conditions (). it has been reported that weed populations are more in organic farming compared to conventional cropping systems, resulting in more reduction of growth and yield. although the chemical control is a fast and effective way for controlling weed populations, some negative impacts of the recent ...
