Revisiting intercropping indices with respect to potato-legume intercropping systems (2020, background): “Specifically, complementarity is optimized when there is temporal and spatial exploitation of available resources between the companion species (Brooker et al., 2014; Duchene et al., 2017; Dong et al., 2018; Gitari et al., 2018b, 2020; Nyawade et al., 2019b; Raza et al., 2019).”
Grain legume-cereal intercropping enhances the use of soil-derived and biologically fixed nitrogen in temperate agroecosystems. A meta-analysis (2020, unknown): “Clearly, the balance between complementary and competition in cereal-legume mixtures may depend on environmental conditions (Duchene et al., 2017), soil N availability, and lastly, plant growth dynamics, as described by Hauggaard-Nielsen et al. (2001) where the intercropping promote the root growth…”
Evaluation of competition, essential oil quality and quantity of peppermint intercropped with soybean (2018, background): “In the fields, temporal arrangement can be enhanced by growing several plants consecutively, while spatial arrangement could be increased by intercropping species that differ in the patterns of resource use and their associated flora and fauna (Duchene et al., 2017).”
