“…From 12.8 m, Honnayya et al. (2020) did not observe interference of trees in the guandu bean development in the integrated system evaluated. In the present study, the dry mass yield of guandu bean showed variations of 195.08%, 64.26%, and 53.62% when comparing the 2, 4, and 6 m distances with the effective dry mass yield obtained in the distance of 8 m, respectively, considering the LFIS1 and LFIS2 systems averages.…”

“…However, even though the guandu bean productivity is reduced in intercropping, the main crop and the other intercropped species’ yield are generally significantly high and justify the production system (Rajashree et al., 2022). In addition, the east–west trees planting direction, the distance between trees and crops, trees pruning, and the proper time to plant between rows are essential factors for increasing luminosity and performance of guandu bean in the agroforestry system (Honnayya et al., 2020). Practices, such as tree pruning and east–west direction planting, were adopted in the present study, which may have contributed to the growth and development of crops in the understory.…”

“…Honnayya et al. (2020) observed higher growth and productivity of guandu bean by increasing the distance from trees ( Azadirachta indica ) in agroforestry systems. The authors considered the lower growth and yield of guandu beans close to the tree rows (2–7.4 m) possibly due to the higher shading and competition.…”

“…Reducing photosynthetically active radiation in agroforestry systems is the most critical limitation to crops under the understory, which can be managed by increasing the tree planting distance (Surki et al, 2020). Honnayya et al (2020) observed a gradual reduction in the growth and productivity of guandu bean by reducing the distance from tree planting rows in agroforestry systems. Nevertheless, Manoj et al (2021) reported the guandu bean as a leguminous plant with the potential to be used in intercropped systems.…”

Choosing the species suitable for cultivation in intercropped systems is a critical limiting factor for grain and forage production. This study aimed to evaluate the growth, nodulation, production, and physiology of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and guandu bean (Cajanus cajan) intercropped with buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and Eucalyptus urograndis (Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla) in an integrated production system. Two experiments were conducted simultaneously, arranged in a 2 × 4 factorial scheme. The first factor consisted of the use of two integrated production systems. The second factor consisted of four distances (2, 4, 6, and 8 m) from the eucalyptus planting rows. In the first experiment, crop-forest systems (CFIS: eucalyptus trees and cowpea) and crop-livestock-forest systems (CLFIS: eucalyptus trees, cowpea, and buffel grass) were evaluated. In the second, livestock-forest systems LFIS1 (eucalyptus trees and guandu bean) and LFIS2 (eucalyptus trees, guandu bean, and buffel grass) were evaluated. In cowpea, nodulation was not influenced by production systems and distances, whereas in guandu bean, there was a reduction in the nodules' number and dry mass with the distance from the trees. Higher growth, biomass production, and photosynthetic activity of cowpea and guandu bean were observed with the increasing distance from the eucalyptus planting rows. However, cowpea increased the 100-seed weight at 2 and 4 m distances from the eucalyptus rows, improving the grains' quality close to the trees. The simultaneous cultivation with buffel grass did not affect the leguminous plant yield, promoting greater diversification and increasing the total biomass production of the intercropping.
