Comparison of land equivalent ratio, yield and income from intercropping <i>Ipomoe babatas</i> (L.) lam. with pulses in Swaziland

Abstract: Small-scale farmers in the tropics do not often grow one type of crop on their farms. They typically grow a combination of crops in the same season; this is intercropping. Quite often, researchers recommend to farmers to practice monocropping, but such advice goes unheeded. It would be useful to demonstrate the benefit or otherwise of intercropping in terms of crop yield and the land requirements per unit of yield in order to determine the land equivalent ratio (LER) and income from pure stands and from a comb… Show more
