Hardcover. Condizione: New. Intercropping system is an age-old cropping system where two or more crops coexist for a significant time of their growth period.

The first two chapters describe the overview of the intercropping system and complexity as well as the competitive relationship among component crops. The third chapter narrates the management options in the intercropping systems, while the fourth chapter highlights the multifaceted benefits of an intercropping system.

Finally, in the ninth chapter, the performance of important crops in the intercropping system has been highlighted. …
