How does legume–cereal intercropping in semiarid environments influence soil nutrient cycling, greenhouse gas emissions, and crop performance? In this interview, researchers from Spain share insights from the iCROP field experiment, showing how these systems affect soil health and carbon dynamics, greenhouse gas fluxes, and crop performance, ultimately contributing to more sustainable farming practices.
What does intercropping in Spain look like in practice? David Erice from UPA shares insights on growing legume-cereal mixes under pressure.
How are Spanish farmers adopting intercropping? Learn about their experiences, key challenges, and why they see potential in this sustainable practice.
What effect does intercropping have on pests and diseases? We are conducting thorough analyses to find out.
We recently met in Spain to discuss our progress. Let’s recap our meeting.
Spanish farmers and researchers discussed the possibilities of growing different crops in the same land plot simultaneously.
Our Spanish partners at UPA and CSIC summarise the goals and approach of LEGUMINOSE in a press release.
