A meta-analysis of intercropping in Africa: impacts on crop yield, farmer income, and integrated pest management effects (2017, background): “In addition, intercropping can be an effective approach for decreasing soil erosion, improving available soil nitrogen via intercropped legumes (Hauggaard-Nielsen & Jensen, 2005; Trenbath, 1993; Zougmore, Kambou, & Ouattara, 2000), and increasing women’s labour (Lai et al., 2012).”
Root structure and functioning for efficient acquisition of phosphorus: Matching morphological and physiological traits. (2006, background): “Cluster-root-bearing crop plants such as L. albus as well as high-exuding non-clusterbearing species would appear to have enormous potential as intercrops (L. Li et al., 2003; Zhang and Li, 2003; S. M. Li et al., 2004; Hauggaard-Nielsen and Jensen, 2005).”
Above‐ and below‐ground competition between barley, wheat, lupin and vetch in a cereal and legume intercropping system (2009, background): “Higher yields result from resource complementarity producing more efficient resource use via niche separation (Wilson, 1988) or facilitative interactions between components (Hauggaard-Nielsen and Jensen, 2005).”
Facilitated legume nodulation, phosphate uptake and nitrogen transfer by arbuscular inoculation in an upland rice and mung bean intercropping system (2009, background): “The beneficial effects of intercropping systems have been well reported (Hamel et al. 1991; Hauggaard-Nielsen and Jensen 2005; Martensson et al. 1998; Reeves 1992; Sieverding and Leihner 1984).”
Root competition: beyond resource depletion (2006, background): “As well as negative (competitive) interactions, roots may have positive effects on other roots (Callaway 1995; Hauggaard-Nielsen & Jensen 2005).”
Synergistic effect of inorganic N and P fertilizers and organic inputs from Gliricidia sepium on productivity of intercropped maize in Southern Malawi (2007, background): “It is well known that some plant species, especially perennial legumes, can utilize relatively non-labile fractions of P by modifying the chemistry of their rhizosphere by, for example, excreting protons or organic acids, which solubilize fixed P, making it available for uptake (Hauggaard-Nielsen an”
Improving intercropping: a synthesis of research in agronomy, plant physiology and ecology. (2015, background): “Legumes are pivotal in many intercropping systems (Table S1), and of the top 10 most frequently used intercrop species listed by Hauggaard-Nielsen & Jensen (2005), seven are legumes.”
Intercropping with legume for agroecological cropping systems: Complementarity and facilitation processes and the importance of soil microorganisms. A review (2017, background): “…practice depends to a great extent on local field conditions and is still threatened by competition between intercropped species, particularly when influenced by unfavorable local climate, growth conditions, fertilization practices or choice of species (Hauggaard-Nielsen and Jensen, 2005).”
Does intercropping enhance yield stability in arable crop production? A meta-analysis (2017, background): “Due to the lower competitive ability of grain legumes for soil N acquisition, since they can fix the N2 they require, intercropped cereals can obtain a greater proportion of soil N, leading to a yield increase over sole crops (Hauggaard-Nielsen and Jensen 2005; Corre-Hellou et al., 2006).”
