Species choice and N fertilization influence yield gains through complementarity and selection effects in cereal-legume intercrops

Remi Mahmoud et al.

Summary: Maintaining yield while reducing inputs is a key objective of sustainable agriculture. Cereal-legume intercropping can help achieve this by utilizing abiotic resources and facilitation mechanisms. Management options, such as species choice and nitrogen fertilization level, play important roles in designing intercropping systems. Field experiments across Europe showed an overall positive biodiversity effect in unfertilized intercrops, with complementarity effect being the main driver. Nitrogen fertilization had varying effects on different intercrops, lowering complementarity effect in durum wheat/pea intercrops and increasing selection effect in durum wheat/faba bean intercrops. These findings highlight the importance of competitive legume species in intercrops when applying nitrogen fertilizers.
