An experiment was conducted at the research station of the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) at Machakos, Kenya from November 1989 to February 1996 to evaluate the effect of annual and perennial legumes on soil fertility, cereal yields and economic returns. The study evaluated six cropping systems: (1) continuous sole maize, (2) maize rotated with short-duration legume, ...

Broader environmental tolerance associated with mixed population of soybean (Glycine max Merr.) cultivars may increase soybean yield potential and play a significant role in yield stability. A field study was carried out to assess whether intercropping of two commonly used cultivars of soybean with different morphological characteristics may increase seed yield in Iran. A split-plot design was ...

intercropping is considered for increasing and stability of yield in per unit. in order to study the effects of soybean (glycine max l.) and millet (panicum miliaceum l.) replacement intercropping on agronomic traits, diversity of weeds and soil biological activity, an experiment was conducted at the research station of agricultural faculty, of bu-ali sina university, in 2014. the experiment wa...

to study the effect of strip intercropping pattern with cowpea and soybean on sorghum fodder yield an experiment was conducted at research farm of university of tehran (karaj) during 2005. the experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design of four replications. the plant proportions included pure culture of sorghum (sss); cowpea (ccc) and soybean (ggg) each in 12 rows; vs differe...

In maize-soybean intercropping system, soybean plants will be affected by the wide light-fluctuation, which resulted from the shading by maize plants, as the shading of maize the light is not enough for soybean in the early morning and late afternoon, but at noon, the light is strong as the maize shading disappeared. The objective of this study is to evaluate the photosynthetic response of soyb...

in order to study of use advantage in the intercropping system fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill) and fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum l) in different ratios of intercropping and sole cropping, an experiment with use replacement and additive intercropping based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the research station of faculty of agriculture, universi...

intercropping is considered for increasing and stability of yield per unit. in order to study the effects of different intercropping arrangements on sorghum and mungbean yield and to find the land use advantage in the intercropping system, an experiment was carried out based on a randomized complete block design with seven treatments and three replications at the research farm, faculty of agric...

introduction in agronomy, natural outlook has been expressed in different forms which stable agriculture is an example. stable agriculture is ascribed to the authentic management of agricultural resources, which in addition to fulfilling the ever-changing needs of humans, maintains the health of environment and capacity of water and soil resources. application of herbicides, besides being costl...
