| Grain legume-cereal intercropping is a method to obtain greater and more stable crop yields, improve the plant resource utilisation (water, light, nutrients), increase the input of leguminous symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) to the cropping system and reduce negative impacts on the environment. However, due to agricultural intensification of plant breeding, mechanisation, and fertiliser and pesticide use over the last 50 years, intercropping has disappeared from many European farming systems. Motivations for reintroducing grain-legume-cereal intercropping relate to the problems faced by intensive farming systems. During the 1980s it became evident that West European agricultural production systems (often characterised by monocultures, nutrient... |
