Significance The world has been struggling to find sustainable ways increase crop production satisfy the needs for food, feed, fiber, and industrial uses while reducing negative environmental impacts. This challenge is magnified in countries/regions where availability of farmable land agriculture limited. We developed an integrated cropping system that incorporates key farming tactics. Tested 16 field experiments over 12 consecutive years (2006 2017), increased yields decreasing footprint....
Abstract In arid areas, water shortage is threating agricultural sustainability, and strip-intercropping may serve as a strategy to alleviate the challenge. Here we show that enhances spatial distributions of soil across 0–110 cm rooting zones, improves coordination sharing during co-growth period, provides compensatory effect for available water. three-year (2009–2011) experiment, shorter-season pea ( Pisum sativum L.) was sown in alternate strips with longer-season maize Zea mays without...
In wheat-maize intercropping systems, the maize is often disadvantageous over wheat during co-growth period. It unknown whether impaired growth of can be recovered through enhancement belowground interspecies interactions. this study, we (i) determined mechanism interaction in relation to root and distribution under different plant densities, (ii) quantified 'recovery effect' after harvest. The three-year (2014–2016) field experiment was conducted at Oasis Agriculture Research Station Gansu...
Increasing plant density can increase cereal crop yields. However, the physiological and anatomical mechanisms of grain yield at high densities in maize-based intercropping systems are not well understood. A two-year field experiment was conducted 2018 2019 to investigate yield, photosynthetic characteristics, stomatal traits, leaf anatomy maize plants an system with densities. Two cropping patterns (monocropping intercropping) three (D1, 78,000 ha−1; D2, 103,500 D3, 129,000 ha−1) were...
In the Hexi oasis irrigation area, green manure improves use efficiency of soil, light, heat and precipitation resources during a long fallow period (from wheat harvest to later maize sowing). The work aims determine optimal utilization patterns for reducing evapotranspiration (ETc) reduction improvement grain yield (GY) crop water productivity (WPc). A two-year field experiment was conducted at research station in Shiyang River Basin (Gansu, China) using completely randomized design with...
<p class="2">Knowledge on effect of yield formation under straw combined with plastic film mulch is important in highlighting the importance cultivating high-efficient and high-yield crops arid environments. In this study, we developed a ‘double-mulching’ system, i.e., coupled mulch, integrated together intensified strip intercropping. We determined (i) responses leaf area index improvement to double mulching (ii) Its effects process mechanism intercropped wheat maize systems....
Abstract In arid regions, higher irrigation quota for conventional farming causes substantial conflict between water supply and demand crop production. Innovations in cropping systems are needed to alleviate this issue. A field experiment was conducted northwestern China assess whether straw plastic managements wheat/maize intercropping could these issues. Integrating no tillage with two-year mulching (NTMI2) improved grain yields by 13.8–17.1%, compared without residue annual new (CTI). The...
