The role of intercropping maize ( Zea mays L.) and Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L.) on yield and soil chemical properties (2010, background): “0 has been reported with bean maize intercropping (Saban et al., 2007) and wheat - lentil (Carr et al.”
Advantages of Maize-Cowpea Intercropping over Sole Cropping through Competition Indices (2012, methodology): “Considering all mix-proportions and planting patterns, Aggressivity (A) values for maize were always positive while such values for cowpea were all negative, showing that maize was the dominant species as reported by previous studies [7,18].”
Overyielding and interspecific interactions mediated by nitrogen fertilization in strip intercropping of maize with faba bean, wheat and barley (2011, background): “Different sowing dates, sowing densities or seeding ratios can be used to change competitive ability (Carr et al. 2004; Roberts et al. 1989; Yilmaz et al. 2008) or below-ground root competition for soil nutrients (Thorsted et al.”
Effect of narrow-row planting patterns on crop competitive and economic advantage in maize–soybean relay strip intercropping system (2017, background): “…such as the relative crowding coefficient (K), competitive ratio (CR), aggressivity (A), actual yield loss (AYL), and intercropping advantage (IA) indices have been used to quantify the beneficial competitive effects in the different planting patterns (Banik et al., 2000; Yilmaz et al., 2008).”
