Intercropping with legume for agroecological cropping systems: Complementarity and facilitation processes and the importance of soil microorganisms. A review (2017, background): “For example, intercropping has been shown to be very useful for weed and pest management (Amossé et al., 2013a; Corre-Hellou et al., 2011; Trenbath, 1993; Valantin-Morison et al., 2014; Vandermeer, 1992), which can be considered as indirect facilitation since it reduces competition with weeds for…”
Evaluation of competition, essential oil quality and quantity of peppermint intercropped with soybean (2018, background): “…compared with equivalent areas of monoculture due to the higher efficiency in using available environmental resources such as water, nutrients and solar radiation, accompanied by a reduced growth of weeds and pests (Nassiri Mahallati et al., 2015; Barker and Dennett, 2013; Amossé et al., 2013).”
Shallow non-inversion tillage in organic farming maintains crop yields and increases soil C stocks: a meta-analysis (2016, background): “As an alternative to herbicides, organic farmers rely on mechanical methods as well as well-planned and diversified crop rotations to keep weeds under reasonable control (Amossé et al. 2013).”
