Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of Wheat-Chickpea Intercrops as Influenced by Nitrogen and Weed ManagementA. Abdulahi, A. Dabbagh Mohammadi Nassab, S. Nasrolahzadeh et al.Wheat and chickpea are most important crops in dryland farming areas of Iran. Weeds have major impact on chickpea grain yield. This experiment was carried out to increase land use efficiency and weed suppression through intercropping in dryland agricultural research station-Sararood, Kermanshah, Iran during 2008-10. The experimental design layout was factorial split plot based on randomized complete block design with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2012 · 8,681 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) in Pure and Mixed Cropping with Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) to Determine the Best Combination of Legume and Cereal for Forage ProductionSeyedeh, Davood Habibi, Ali Kashani et al.Problem statement: Mixed cereal-legume cropping can supply valuable forage in dry areas, as well as improving soil characteristics to approach sustainable farming systems in these regions. Approach: In order to comprise quality and quantity of produced forage and to determine the best planting ratio in a hairy vetch and barley mix cropping, a two year study was conducted during 2008 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,102 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simulation Model Estimates of the Intercropping Advantage of an Immature-Rubber, Banana and Pineapple SystemMohamadu Boyie Jalloh, Wan Sulaiman Wan Harun, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: Intercropping has been shown to have many advantages but it is fallacious to conclude it is always a better cropping system. Little is known about a new double-hedgerow intercropping of rubber, banana and pineapple in relation to its effects on growth and yield of the component crops when compared to their monocrops. Simulation modeling offers a cheaper and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 9,003 accessesView PDF Cite
