Experiences with intercropping design - a survey about pulse cereal-combinations in Europe
Publikation: Bidrag til bog/antologi/rapport › Konferencebidrag i proceedings › Forskning › fagfællebedømt
A survey was carried out within five European countries with regard to the practice of
cereal grain legume intercropping. The mostly given combination was spring barleyspring
pea beside 27 other combinations between pulses and cereals. 72 % of all
examples consisted of spring varieties, the rest of winter varieties, mainly a special
case of the French South West with mild winter climate. Intercrops were mainly used
for feeding purposes. Best experiences were named as better yield stability, effective
weed suppression, and good quality of feed. Of the negative experiences complicated
mechanical weed regulation, unequal maturation and additional costs for separation
were mostly named. The interviewed farmers showed predominantly positive
prospects for the development of intercropping on their farms, problems with sowing
techniques were only of minor importance.
