“…Intercropping, a widely used agricultural practice, can enhance the moisture, fertility, and structure of rhizosphere soils and weed suppression, thereby helping to improve soil quality, microflora, enzyme activity and so on, and promote the growth and development of plants and achieve a higher profitability [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Recently, orchard intercropping has been widely practiced, such as apple [13], grape [14], plum [15], olive [16], etc.…”

Drought, low nutrition, and weeds have become the major limiting factors of young kiwifruit orchards. In this study, the effects of intercropping Vicia sativa L. on the moisture, microbe community, enzyme activity, and nutrients in rhizosphere soils of young kiwifruit plants and their growth were investigated. The results show that intercropping V. sativa could effectively enhance soil moisture by 1.39–1.47 folds compared with clean tillage. Moreover, intercropping V. sativa could significantly (p < 0.01) increase the microbial community, enzyme activity and nutrient of kiwifruit rhizosphere soils, and improve plant height, stem girth, leaf number, maximum leaf length, maximum leaf width, and chlorophyll content of young kiwifruit plants by 43.60%, 18.68%, 43.75%, 18.09%, 21.15%, and 67.57% compared to clean tillage, respectively. The moisture, microbial quantity, enzyme activity, and nutrients in rhizosphere soils of young kiwifruit plants exhibited good correlations with their plant height, stem girth, leaf number, maximum leaf length, maximum leaf width, and chlorophyll content. This study highlights that intercropping V. sativa in young kiwifruit orchard can be used as an effective, labor-saving, economical and sustainable practice to improve the moisture, microbial community, enzyme activity, and nutrient of soils, and enhance kiwifruit plant growth and control weeds.

“…Intercropping is an ancient agricultural technology that involves planting two or more crop species together. It contributes to sustainable agriculture, with higher production, higher nutrient availability (Li et al, 2014), effective weed management (Weerarathne et al, 2017), and pest control (Lopes et al, 2016) in resource-limited agricultural systems. Intercropping can improve soil quality and soil phytoavailability due to species complementarity (Li et al, 2014; Cong et al, 2015).…”

To achieve sustainable development with a growing population while sustaining natural resources, a sustainable intensification of agriculture is necessary. Intercropping is useful for low-input/resource-limited agricultural systems. Iron (Fe) deficiency is a worldwide agricultural problem owing to the low solubility and bioavailability of Fe in alkaline and calcareous soils. Here, we summarize the effects of intercropping systems on Fe nutrition. Several cases showed that intercropping with graminaceous plants could be used to correct Fe nutrition of Leguminosae such as peanut and soybean or fruits such as Psidium guajava L., Citrus, grape and pear in calcareous soils. Intercropping systems have strong positive effects on the physicochemical and biochemical characteristics of soil and the microbial community due to interspecific differences and interactions in the rhizosphere. Rhizosphere interactions can increase the bioavailability of Fe with the help of phytosiderophores. Enriched microorganisms may also facilitate the Fe nutrition of crops. A peanut/maize intercropping system could help us understand the dynamics in rhizosphere and molecular mechanism. However, the role of microbiome in regulating Fe acquisition of root and the mechanisms underlying these phenomena in other intercropping system except peanut/maize need further work, which will help better utilize intercropping to increase the efficiency of Fe foraging.

“…El control manual es la práctica común de las plantaciones de yuca, este método ejerció un control regular (37,7%) de las arvenses, mostrando poca eficiencia en el control, por lo cual, las arvenses colonizan rápidamente la superficie del suelo compitiendo de forma directa por agua, luz y nutrientes con las plantas de yuca, incrementando el número de controles y por consiguiente los costos de producción del cultivo (Weerarathne et al, 2017).…”

Por lo tanto, el control de las arvenses es crítico, particularmente en los primeros 3-4 meses de crecimiento de la yuca (Nedunchezhiyan et al, 2017;Weerarathne et al, 2017). El control de arvenses en yuca se logra a través del desyerbe manual u otros métodos culturales, mientras que, en las áreas con escasez de mano de obra, se practica el control químico de arvenses (Vencill et al, 2012).…”

La yuca es la raíz tuberosa de mayor importancia para el sustento de la seguridad alimentaria en el departamento de Bolívar (Colombia), sin embargo, el manejo ineficiente de las arvenses durante las primeras etapas de crecimiento ha reducido la productividad, generando pérdidas de rentabilidad para los agricultores de esta región. Por lo tanto, la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo seleccionar herbicidas para el control de arvenses. En la sede Carmen de Bolívar de Corpoica, se implementó un diseño de bloques completamente al azar con tres repeticiones, evaluando las mezclas de herbicidas linuron + pendimetalina, oxadiazón + diuron y metolacloro + atrazina en preemergencia y glufosinato de amonio, haloxifop-p-etoxietil y fluaxifop-p-butil en post-emergencia, sumado a un tratamiento de control. Las variables evaluadas, eficiencia en el control de arvenses, sobrevivencia, grado de fitotoxicidad, altura, diámetro del tallo y rendimiento de raíces frescas en plantas de yuca, mostraron que la mezcla de metolacloro + atrazina presentaba la mayor eficiencia en el control de arvenses y selectividad al cultivo de yuca, aplicada en preemergencia, obteniendo un incremento del rendimiento en 4,34 t ha-1 en comparación con el tratamiento control manual. Los resultados indican la efectividad de los herbicidas dentro del manejo integrado de arvenses en cultivos de yuca en la Costa Caribe colombiana.
