Does reduced intraspecific competition of the dominant species in intercrops allow for a higher population density?

Qi Wang et al.

Summary: The dominant species in intercropping may be cultivated at a higher density to achieve greater yield, but increasing their density does not always lead to improved yield in intercropping. Land equivalent ratios were higher in the dry year compared to the wet year, suggesting that intercropping performs better under conditions with limited resources.

Nano-Fertilization as an Emerging Fertilization Technique: Why Can Modern Agriculture Benefit from Its Use?

Mahmoud F. Seleiman et al.

Summary: This article examines the recent development and potential benefits of nanofertilizers in modern agriculture, highlighting their ability to increase crop productivity, enhance nutrient use efficiency, and improve plant stress tolerance. However, concerns about the release of nanoparticles from nanofertilizers into the environment and their potential negative impacts on human and animal health are raised. Future research should focus on exploring green synthesized and biosynthesized nanofertilizers for safe use and addressing toxicity concerns.

Isabgol (Plantago ovata) and lentil (Lens culinaris) intercrop responses to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation

Esmaeil Rezaei-Chiyaneh et al.

Summary: Intercropping isabgol and lentil with AMF inoculation is an effective system to increase resource use efficiency for smallholder farmers in semi-arid regions. The highest land equivalent ratio was recorded in the 4I:2L intercropping pattern with AMF inoculation, indicating the benefits of this practice for sustainable cropping systems.

Improvement of dragonhead (Dracocephalum moldavica L.) yield quality through a coupled intercropping system and vermicompost application along with maintenance of soil microbial activity

Esmaeil Rezaei-Chiyaneh et al.

Summary: A 3-year field experiment revealed that the highest dragonhead essential oil productivity was achieved when vermicompost was used in sole cropping. The use of vermicompost in intercropping systems enhanced soil microbial activity and plant performance.

Intercropping and fertilizer type impact seed productivity and secondary metabolites of dragon's head and fenugreek

Esmaeil Rezaei-Chiyaneh et al.

Summary: Organic and bio-fertilizers are effective in increasing seed and oil yields, as well as secondary metabolites of dragon's heads and fenugreeks. Bacterial and vermicompost fertilizers resulted in the highest values for most parameters, followed by mycorrhizal and unfertilized control. Intercropping with organic fertilizers and biofertilizers is an effective strategy to enhance overall seed and oil yields and secondary metabolites of medicinal plants.

Photosynthetic Activities and Photosynthetic Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Maize Crop Under Different Planting Patterns and Nitrogen Fertilization

Jamal Nasar et al.

Summary: The study found that intercropping with nitrogen fertilization can significantly increase the yield and dry biomass of maize. The land equivalent ratio (LER) was >1, indicating more efficient resource utilization by intercrops. Additionally, intercropping with nitrogen fertilization improved leaf photosynthetic activities and PNUE of maize crop, leading to better yield.
