Intercropping Sample Clauses

Intercropping. The main impacts of intercropping documented in the literature include the reduction of neg- ative environmental effects (erosion, leaching) and the reduction of synthetic nitrogen fertilis- er usage in order to decrease the global warming potential, but biomass yield increases were not always observed. For instance, intercropping of poplar SRC with a legume had no effect on yield compared to poplar monoculture, but the intercropping plantation had higher soil NO3 content due to the legume and higher soil water content as the mulch of cut cover crops decreased evaporation from soil (Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2018). In addition, the intercropping of SRC was weed free at the first harvest and N content of poplar wood was higher. During the sec- ond rotation the poplar canopy closed quickly, however, so that the cover crop did not thrive again. Positive environmental effects and cost savings of reducing synthetic fertiliser are still to be compared to the negative effects of increased fuel consumption and soil compaction during seeding and later mulching. This comparison gets even more complex if the effect of intercropping on soil organic carbon is assessed. Tree-based intercropping in Ontario Canada assessed the effect of willow SRC in-between rows of old established willow trees compared to willow SRC monoculture (Cardinael et al., 2012). SRC intercropping led to higher soil organ- ic carbon content and a yield increase of 17% compared to SRC monoculture. The underlying yield of intercropping SRC was, however, only related to the area of SRC but not of the rows of old trees. In regard to social acceptance, woody crops in an agricultural landscape mainly faced positive reactions. Part of the population is, however, still sceptical towards SRC. This scepticism can be overcome by taking social preferences into consideration and by an open information policy in the respective region (Reppin and Xxxxxxxxxx, 2018). Intercropping trials have also been performed for lignocellulosic grasses. In a switchgrass and legume intercrop- ping systems Xxxxxxxx et al. (2015) determined environmental effects of displacing synthetic- N with legumes in the USA. They found that legume intercropping could reduce the global warming potential by 5% and reduce groundwater acidification by 27%. This option of feed- stock production still requires energy based input. According to the authors the aim should be to optimize management and synthetic fertiliser usage. It had been shown before, tha...
