The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Agronomic performance of no-tillage relay intercropping with maize under smallholder conditions in Central Brazil (2011, background): “Pigeonpea is also known to efficiently capture soilmineral due to itswell developed root systemwhich penetrates deep into he soil (Snapp and Silim, 2002).”
Realigning research and extension to focus on farmers’ constraints and opportunities (2003, background): “Some species of shrubby legumes not only biologically fix N, but also improve availability of phosphorus, and thus increase crop yields (Snapp and Silim, 2002).”
The future of grain legumes in cropping systems (2012, background): “To expand the cultivation of grain legumes in less developed areas, all of these socioeconomic and cultural factors need to be well understood to fully unlock the potential of legumes to improve cropping systems and the livelihoods of these farmers (Sperling et al. 1993; Snapp and Silim 2002).”
Synergistic effect of inorganic N and P fertilizers and organic inputs from Gliricidia sepium on productivity of intercropped maize in Southern Malawi (2007, background): “Some species of legumes do not only fix atmospheric N, but also improve availability of P, and this increases crop yields (Snapp and Silim 2002).”
