The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Biological nitrogen fixation and socioeconomic factors for legume production in sub-Saharan Africa: a review (2011, background): “The cereal-legume intercrop has been shown to increase the total value of cereal and legume production, land equivalent ratio and returns to labor and other inputs (Maingi et al., 2001; Dapaah et al., 2003 ).”
Increased productivity through integrated soil fertility management in cassava–legume intercropping systems in the highlands of Sud-Kivu, DR Congo (2011, background): “Intercropping systems have higher yield stability (Dapaah et al., 2003), reduced disease severity (Zinsou et al.”
Advantages of Maize-Cowpea Intercropping over Sole Cropping through Competition Indices (2012, background): “Studies showed that mixtures of cereals and legumes produce higher grain yields than either crop grown alone [12,13].”
Does intercropping enhance yield stability in arable crop production? A meta-analysis (2017, background): “At present, intercropping is more common in cropping systems in developing countries, perhaps because it is assumed to give more stable yield than sole crops (Sileshi et al., 2012; Dapaah et al., 2003; Horwith, 1985).”
