Contribution of interspecific interactions and phosphorus application to sustainable and productive intercropping systems (2013, background): “, 2006), and because of nhanced nitrogen fixation of legumes (Fan et al., 2006).”
Intercropping alleviates the inhibitory effect of N fertilization on nodulation and symbiotic N2 fixation of faba bean (2009, methodology): “The faba bean/wheat intercropping system enhances N2 fixation of faba bean by 71% and alleviates the inhibitory effect (Ca=2.8) according to the 15N-isotope dilution method under greenhouse conditions (Xiao et al. 2004), but the opposite is found under field conditions (Fan et al. 2006).”
A staggered maize-legume intercrop arrangement robustly increases crop yields and economic returns in the highlands of Central Kenya. (2010, background): “Because legumes can rely on atmospheric N, they are less likely to compete for N with the cereal (Fujita et al., 1992; Fan et al., 2006).”
Potential of Intercropping System in Sustaining Crop Productivity (2019, background): “Fan et al. (2006) recorded more biomass production and grain yield of faba bean when intercropped with maize; however yield of fava bean was recorded less when it was intercropped with wheat.”
Annual intercrops: an alternative pathway for sustainable agriculture. (2011, background): “For example, faba bean yielded more in a maize/faba bean intercrop, but not in a wheat/faba bean intercrop (Fan et al., 2006).”
Intercropping—A Low Input Agricultural Strategy for Food and Environmental Security (2021, background): “[49], recorded more grain output of faba bean + maize; but the yield of fava bean was less in a faba bean + wheat intercrop combination.”
Green manuring effect of pure and mixed barley – hairy vetch winter cover crops on maize and processing tomato N nutrition (2012, background): “Moreover, the intercropping of legumes and non legumes frequently leads to facilitative interactions (Ofori and Stern, 1987; Jensen, 1996; Hauggaard-Nielsen and Jensen, 2005; Fan et al., 2006), but this advantage has never been evaluated considering how the proportion between the species affects the”
