intercrop

Another method of controlling the pest in cotton crops is to intercrop with corn, growing some corn plants in the cotton field.

Enset is often intercropped with sorghum, although the practice amongst the Gedeo is to intercrop it with coffee.

Turmeric and maize are cultivated as intercrop.

Pepper is mostly grown as an intercrop with coconut, arecanut and various fruit trees.

It is widely planted either along borders of gardens or as an intercrop throughout many traditional gardens in the tropics.

The cropping system is semi-permanent and the Bambara groundnut can be cultivated as single crop or as intercrop.

Bambara groundnut is mainly cultivated as intercrop, however the planting density varies between 6 to 29 plants per square meter.

In addition, it is shade tolerant, so is compatible as an intercrop with maize, millet, sorghum, sugarcane, and cotton.

As an intercrop, proso millet can help to avoid a summer fallow, and continuous crop rotation can be achieved.

The degree of spatial and temporal overlap in the two crops can vary somewhat, but both requirements must be met for a cropping system to be an intercrop.

Its superficial root system and its resistance to atrazine residue make proso millet a good intercrop between two water and pesticide demanding crops.

Ricebean is most widely grown as an intercrop, particularly of maize, throughout Indo-China and extending into southern China, India, Nepal and Bangladesh.

Potential exists to improve the push-pull strategy through further trials with different intercrops, by manipulating allelochemicals in each intercrop, as well as by investigating insect sensitivity to natural chemicals.

In the United States, a grain yield of 4,5 t/ha has already been achieved by using millet as an intercrop in a non-irrigated (380 mm precipitations) and chemically controled no-till system.

In Nigeria it is usually grown as an intercrop with sorghum and cowpea, the different growth habits, growth period and drought vulnerability of the three crops maximising total productivity and minimising the risk of total crop failure.

Generally, ricebean is grown as an intercrop with maize, on rice bunds or on the terrace risers, as a sole crop on the uplands or as a mixed crop with maize in the khet (bunded parcels of lands where transplanted rice is grown) land.
