Overyielding and interspecific interactions mediated by nitrogen fertilization in strip intercropping of maize with faba bean, wheat and barley (2011, background): “The majority of intercropping systems in Africa are combinations of cereals and legumes (Francis 1985; Vandermeer 1989; Ndakidemi 2006) and also in India (Ghosh et al. 2007) and these systems have been studied in detail.”
Facilitated legume nodulation, phosphate uptake and nitrogen transfer by arbuscular inoculation in an upland rice and mung bean intercropping system (2009, background): “…system with significant advantage in yield and a high rate of resource utilization, and is considered now as an important practice in sustainable agriculture development (Ghosh et al. 2007; Kwabiah 2005; Laxminarayana and Munda 2004; Sarkar and Sanyal 2000; Sarr et al. 2008; Toomsan et al. 2000).”
Nitrogen contribution through Sesbania green manure and dual-purpose legumes in maize–wheat cropping system: agronomic and economic considerations (2009, background): “…the legumes may enhance the soil available N pool for following crops via root exudates or inefficiencies in recovering soil mineral N during the legume phase, and subsequent decomposition of root and nodule residues (Ghosh and Singh 1994; Chalk 1998; Herridge et al. 1995; Ghosh et al. 2007).”
