The Ecology of Intercropping,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product DescriptionThe practice of growing two or more crops together is widespread throughout the tropics and is becoming increasingly practised in temperate agriculture. The benefits of nutrient exchange, reduced weed competition and pathogen control can generate substantial improvements in growth and yield. In this book John Vandermeer, a leading worker on the subject, shows how classical ecological principles, especially those relating to competition and population ecology, can be applied to intercropping. Despite the large amount of research activity directed towards the subject over the last 20 years, the practice of intercropping has, until now, received very little serious academic attention. The Ecology of Intercropping is unique in approaching the question of intercropping from a theoretical point of view. In addition the details of the approach will take as their starting point wellaccepted ecological theory. Using this basis the author shows how the approach can be used to design and evaluate intercropping systems to improve agricultural yields.Review'...marks an important step in the development of a theoretical framework for evaluating and designing intercrops.' Ecology and Evolution'...deserves widespread attention.' Ecology'...the author has managed to provide reasons (1) for the ecologist to consider intercropping as one of many methods for testing ecological theory, and (2) for the intercropping researcher to consider an ecological framework, in this well organized publication. The book should be of interest to both ecologists and intercropping researchers.' M. P. Schellenberg, The Canadian FieldNaturalistBook DescriptionThis study shows how classical ecological principles, especially those relating to competition and population ecology, can be applied to growing two or more crops together and how the approach can improve agricultural yields.
