Intercropping—A Low Input Agricultural Strategy for Food and Environmental Security (2021, background): “Researchers noted less weed growth in different intercropping combinations like wheat and chickpea [71], maize + legume [72] and so on.”
Potential of Intercropping System in Sustaining Crop Productivity (2019, background): “…maize with legumes considerably reduced weed density in the intercrop compared with sole crop of maize due to non-availability light for weeds in the maize-legume intercropping system, which led to a reduction of weed density and weed dry matter compared with sole crops (Bilalis et al. 2010).”
Weed-Species Abundance and Diversity Indices in Relation to Tillage Systems and Fertilization (2018, background): “Weed communities tend to be more diversified in low than in high input systems (Gough et al., 2000; Suding et al., 2005; Bilalis et al., 2010), while Santín-Montanyá et al. (2013) did not observeany significant effect of fertilization on weed abundance and diversity.”
Annual intercrops: an alternative pathway for sustainable agriculture. (2011, background): “…maize with legumes considerably reduced weed density in the intercrop compared with maize pure stand due to decrease in the available light for weeds in the maize-legume intercrops, which led to a reduction of weed density and weed dry matter compared the with sole crops (Bilalis et al., 2010).”
Maize–cowpea intercropping as an ecological approach for nitrogen-use rationalization and weed suppression (2015, background): “Intercropping maize and legumes considerably reduced the weed density compared with the mono-cropping maize by decreasing the available light for weeds (Bilalis et al. 2010).”
