Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on A Social-Ecological Analysis of Diversified Farming Systems: Benefits, Costs, Obstacles, and Enabling Policy Frameworks Ecosystem Services in Biologically Diversified versus Conventional Farming Systems: Benefits, Externalities, and Trade-Offs (2012, background): “Like studies from temperate regions, both local-scale management intensification and the proportion of forest cover in the landscape, and their interaction, all influence species richness in agroecosystems, as Anand et al. (2010) found using model selection in a quantitative synthesis of 17 studies ”
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.”
Annual intercrops: an alternative pathway for sustainable agriculture. (2011, background): “A significant reduction in weed density and biomass for the wheat/chickpea intercrops over both monocrops of wheat or chickpea was found (Banik et al., 2006).”
Does intercropping enhance yield stability in arable crop production? A meta-analysis (2017, result): “MARK compared with the sole crops (Hauggaard-Nielsen et al., 2008; Dhima et al., 2007; Banik et al., 2006 Jensen, 1996).”
Intercropping with legume for agroecological cropping systems: Complementarity and facilitation processes and the importance of soil microorganisms. A review (2017, background): “For instance, a wheat/chickpea model showed a LER value of around 1.5 (Banik et al., 2006).”
Identification of Advantages of Maize-Legume Intercropping over Solitary Cropping through Competition Indices in the East Mediterranean Region (2008, background): “The second coefficient was the relative crowding coefficient (K) which is a measure of the relative dominance of one species over the other in a mixture (Banik et al., 2006).”
Maize-grain legume intercropping is an attractive option for ecological intensification that reduces climatic risk for smallholder farmers in central Mozambique (2012, background): “However, other authors have reported lower weeding requirements in maize–legume intercropping systems due to weed suppression (Banik et al., 2006) caused by more crop biomass and better soil cover (Chamango, 2001).”
Behavioral Design: A New Approach to Development Policy (2014, background): “For example, Banik et al. (2006) find that weeding twice a season 10 instead of once raises yields in India by 23 per cent for wheat and an enormous 49 per cent for chickpeas.”
Potential of Intercropping System in Sustaining Crop Productivity (2019, background): “A significant reduction in weed population and biomass production for the wheat/ chickpea intercrops over both monocrops of wheat or chickpea was found (Banik et al. 2006).”
Advantages of Maize-Cowpea Intercropping over Sole Cropping through Competition Indices (2012, background): “Cropping system characteristics can fundamentally alter the abiotic and biotic features of an agroecosystem and could modify the life cycle of pests such as weeds [2].”
