Grain Yield Stability of Cereal-Legume Intercrops Is Greater Than Sole Crops in More Productive Conditions (2021, methodology): “When we used our aCV data to compare the yield stability of the intercrops with the stability of a single sole crop alone, as also others have done using standard CV [17], the comparison intercrop vs.”
Current knowledge and future research opportunities for modeling annual crop mixtures. A review (2019, neutral): “Increasing plant diversity in agriculture is suggested as a pathway towards more resilient and sustainable production systems (Lin 2011; Altieri et al. 2015; Raseduzzaman and Jensen 2017).”
Grain legume-cereal intercropping enhances the use of soil-derived and biologically fixed nitrogen in temperate agroecosystems. A meta-analysis (2020, positive): “But, having legumes intercropped with non-legumes (i.e. cereals) could be a way to favour yield stability (Raseduzzaman and Jensen, 2017) and weed control (Corre-Hellou et al., 2011; Bedoussac et al., 2015).”
