Exploring options for managing strategies for pea–barley intercropping using a modeling approach (2009, methodology): “In such models, concentrating on the dynamics of the system, modules were added to the initial sole crop 20 model in order to take into account the sharing of light and nutrients between species (Kiniry et al., 1992, Caldwell et al., 1993, Berntsen et al., 2004, Tsubo et al., 2005).”
The role of intercropping maize ( Zea mays L.) and Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L.) on yield and soil chemical properties (2010, background): “Cereal-legume intercropping plays an important role in subsistence food production in both developed and developing countries, especially in situations of limited water resources (Tsubo et al., 2005).”
Identification of Advantages of Maize-Legume Intercropping over Solitary Cropping through Competition Indices in the East Mediterranean Region (2008, background): “Intercropping of cereals with legumes has been popular in tropics (Hauggaard-Nielsen et al., 2001; Tsubo et al., 2005) and rain-fed areas of the world (Banik et al., 2000; Ghosh, 2004; Agegnehu et al., 2006; Dhima et al., 2007) due to its advantages for soil conservation (Anil et al., 1998), weed…”
Maize: Panacea for hunger in Nigeria (2015, background): “…is often intercropped with legumes, cassava, melon etc. Cereal legume intercropping is often employed as a basis for enhancing resource use and the sustainability of tropical smallholder farming systems (Tsubo et al., 2005) In Africa, maize does well when intercropped with beans or other legumes.”
Adaptation of the STICS intercrop model to simulate crop growth and N accumulation in pea-barley intercrops (2009, methodology): “Several models have been previously used to simulate various intercrops: weed-crop competition (Ball and Shaffer, 1993; Debaeke et al., 1997), grass-clover mixtures (Faurie et al., 1996) or cereal–legume intercrops (Berntsen et al., 2004; Brisson et al., 2004; Tsubo et al., 2005).”
Yield performance and land-use efficiency of barley and faba bean mixed cropping in Ethiopian highlands (2006, background): “In the tropics, cereal/legume ntercropping is commonly practised because of yield advanages, greater yield stability and lower risks of crop failure hat are often associated with monoculture (Jensen, 1996; auggaard-Nielsen et al., 2001; Tsubo et al., 2005).”
