A very interesting review study on legume-oilseed #intercrops. So far most research went into legume-cereal intercrops. They do not only summarize the advantages but also "Increased complexity as a barrier to adoption" and the need to handle this in farming practice #agroecology https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378429020312648

This is incredibly useful to find edible, fodder and/or ecosystem service providing annuals or perennials to integrate into diversified systems.

Adoption of #intercrops / species mixtures for food grains (cereals like wheat mixed wit peas etc.) by German farmers is a challenge and an opportunity to harness plant #diversity for sustainable farming. #Agroecology needs more in-depth interdisciplinary science! Here our most recent study. https://dx.doi.org/10.3390/agriculture12050697
