Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercropping, the growing of two or more crops simultaneously on the same area of ground, has been proved a very efficient method of cropping, especially in the tropical areas of the third world. But the methods of comparing intercropping and sole cropping have not yet been fully developed. The aim of this paper is to look at some of these methods used for comparisons, and to assess their advantages and disadvantages. Some of the methods examined are established ones (LER), while some others have been developed only very recently (bivariate approach). The first chapter intends to familiarise the reader with the concept of intercropping. There is a discussion about intercropping, some examples of intercropping experiments, and considerations on the design and the analysis of such experiments. The second chapter concentrates on the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) method. The method is described in all its variations and two experiments are analysed. There is also a discussion about the relative advantages and disadvantages of the LER method variations. The third chapter is about a recently developed method to analyse intercropping experiments, the bivariate method. The experiments of the previous chapter are now analysed usind the bivariate method. Finally, chapter four attempts to compare the two methods examined and to suggest directions for further research into this area.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercropping is a method of sustaining or improving soil structure by growing two or more crops on the same field. It is a technique of wide application and of growing importance for both commercial and subsistence farmers. This textbook provides a comprehensive survey of the design and analysis of intercropping experiments. Its main themes are that techniques such as relative indices make it possible to cover a wide variety of conditions, and that statistical models for density-yield relations enable recommendations to be made to growers of crops. As a result, graduate students and researchers in statistics, biometry, and agriculture whose study involves intercropping will find this an invaluable text and reference.

This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercropping is an area of research for which there is a desperate need, both in developing countries where people are rapidly depleting scarce resources and still starving, and in developed countries, where more ecologically and economically sound ways of feeding ourselves must be developed. The only published guidelines for conducting such research and analyzing the data have been scattered about in various journal articles, many of which are hard to find. This book condenses these methods and will be immensely valuable to agricultural researchers and to the statisticians who help them design their experiments and interpret their results.
