The Concept of a ‘Land Equivalent Ratio’ and Advantages in Yields from Intercropping

R. Mead, R. W. Willey · 1 Jul 1980

SUMMARY Criteria for evaluating different intercropping situations are suggested, and the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) concept is considered for situations where intercropping must be compared with growing each crop sole. The need to use different standardizing sole crop yields in forming LERs is discussed, and a method of calculating an ‘effective LER’ is proposed to…

A Competitive Ratio for Quantifying Competition Between Intercrops

R. W. Willey, M. R. Rao · 1 Apr 1980

SUMMARY A simple competitive ratio (CR) is proposed as a measure of inter crop competition, to indicate the number of times by which one component crop is more competitive than the other. Intercropping data show that this CR term could be useful in (i) comparing the competitive ability of different crops, (ii) measuring competitive changes…

ON-FARM SEED PRIMING IN SEMI-ARID AGRICULTURE: DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION IN MAIZE, RICE AND CHICKPEA IN INDIA USING PARTICIPATORY METHODS

D. Harris, Arun Kumar Joshi, P. A. Khan et al. · 1 Feb 1999

Poor crop establishment was identified as a major constraint on rainfed crop production by farmers in the tribal villages of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh served by the Krishak Bharati Cooperative (KRIBHCO) Indo-British Rainfed Farming Project (KRIBP). On-farm seed priming with water was chosen as a low cost, low risk intervention appropriate to the farmers'…

REVIEW OF SEASONAL CLIMATE FORECASTING FOR AGRICULTURE IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

James Hansen, Simon J. Mason, Liqiang Sun et al. · 25 Mar 2011

SUMMARY We review the use and value of seasonal climate forecasting for agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with a view to understanding and exploiting opportunities to realize more of its potential benefits. Interaction between the atmosphere and underlying oceans provides the basis for probabilistic forecasts of climate conditions at a seasonal lead-time, including during cropping…

Improving Water use Efficiency of Annual Crops in the Rainfed Farming Systems of West Asia and North Africa

P. J. M. Cooper, Peter Gregory, Dennis Tully et al. · 1 Apr 1987

Summary Farming systems in west Asia and north Africa have evolved to cope with the problems of highly variable and, frequently, chronically deficient rainfall. Cereals (mainly wheat and barley) are the dominant arable crops with food legumes (chickpea, lentil and faba bean) occupying only 5 to 10% of the area planted to cereals. Livestock is…
