- Comparative analysis of maize–soybean strip intercropping systems: a review (2018, background): “Several studies have shown the importance of cereal and legume intercropping system, which is considered as an old practice in tropical agriculture (Ghanbari et al., 2010; Tsubo et al., 2001; Waddington et al., 2007).”
- Annual intercrops: an alternative pathway for sustainable agriculture. (2011, background): “Intercropping maize with cowpea has been reported to increase light interception in the intercrops, reduce water evaporation, and improve conservation of the soil moisture compared with maize alone (Ghanbari et al., 2010).”
- Potential of Intercropping System in Sustaining Crop Productivity (2019, background): “Ghanbari et al. (2010) worked on intercropping maize with cowpea and reported that there was increased light interception in the intercrops with reduced water evaporation and thus improved conservation of the soil moisture compared with maize alone.”
- Growth and photosynthetic responses of soybean seedlings to maize shading in relay intercropping system in Southwest China (2014, background): “Low radiation with higher fraction of diffuse lights (Sinclair et al. 1992, Greenwald et al. 2006) have significant effects on the morphological and physiological characteristic of plants (Zhang et al. 2008, Ghanbari et al. 2010).”
- Tolerance vs. avoidance: two strategies of soybean (Glycine max) seedlings in response to shade in intercropping (2015, unknown): “Most studies have focused on the total light utilization of intercropping pattern at seasonal and spatial scales (Keating and Carberry 1993, Mushagalusa et al. 2008, Zhang et al. 2008, Gao et al. 2009, Bedoussac and Justes 2010, Ghanbari et al. 2010, Shili-Touzi et al. 2010, Knörzer et al. 2011).”
