R E S U M OCultivos consorciados representam benefícios econômicos e ambientais, por diversificar a produção na propriedade rural. Propôs-se, então, avaliar o rendimento e o grau de relacionamento entre características agronômicas da mamoneira em cultivo isolado e consorciado com feijão-caupi e gergelim. O experimento foi desenvolvido no período de março a novembro de 2011 em condições de campo, em Pombal, PB. Foram utilizados o delineamento em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 2 x 3 + 2, sendo 2 cultivares de mamona (IAC 2028 e BRS Nordestina), 3 sistemas de cultivo (monocultivo e consórcio com feijão-caupi ou gergelim) mais 2 tratamentos adicionais (feijão-caupi e gergelim em monocultivo) com 4 repetições. Avaliaram-se, também, as seguintes características: produção de grãos por planta (g), rendimento relativo (%), contribuição relativa das ordens dos racemos na produtividade total e estudo de correlações. Ocorreu em média maior contribuição de racemos secundários na produtividade total. O comprimento do racemo e o número de frutos por racemo são características altamente correlacionadas; dentre as culturas avaliadas a melhor opção de cultura companheira para o cultivo consorciado da mamoneira na região é o feijão-caupi.Yield and correlations of castor bean intercropped with cowpea and sesame in semiarid region of Paraíba A B S T R A C TIntercropping represents environmental and economic benefits due to production diversity on the farm. This study aimed to evaluate the yield and the degree of relationship between agronomic characteristics of two cultivars of castor bean as isolated crop and intercropped with cowpea and sesame. The experiment was carried out from March to November 2011 under field conditions at Pombal, in the State of Paraíba. The experimental design was a randomized block in factorial 2 x 3 + 2, using 2 castor bean cultivars (IAC 2028 and BRS Nordestina), 3 cropping systems (monoculture and intercropping with cowpea or sesame) plus 2 additional treatments (cowpea and sesame monoculture) with 4 replications. The following characteristics were evaluated: grain yield per plant (g), relative yield (%), the relative contribution of the orders of clusters in total productivity. On average there was a greater contribution of secondary clusters in total productivity. The length of the cluster and number of fruits in cluster are highly correlated. Between the intercrops evaluated the best choice of companion crops for intercropping of castor bean in the region is the cowpea. Palavras-chave:Ricinus communis L. sistema de manejo sequeiro

“…Legumes make a symbiotic association with Traditional agriculture: a climate-smart approach for sustainable food production 301 rhizobium bacteria that help in nitrogen fixation (Duchene et al 2017). Leguminous crops not only reduce the N 2 O emission from agricultural fields but also enhance the release and turnover of mineralizable N-containing compounds in soil (Rochette and Janzen 2005;Jensen et al 2010;Scalise et al 2017). Global warming potential of N 2 O is 298-fold higher than CO 2 and agriculture alone contributes to about 60% to the total anthropogenic N 2 O emission (Syakila and Kroeze 2011;Hauggaard-Nielsen et al 2016).…”

Sustainable food production is one of the major challenges of the twenty-first century in the era of global environmental problems such as climate change, increasing population and natural resource degradation including soil degradation and biodiversity loss. Climate change is among the greatest threats to agricultural systems. Green Revolution though multiplied agricultural production several folds but at the huge environmental cost including climate change. It jeopardized the ecological integrity of agroecosystems by intensive use of fossil fuels, natural resources, agrochemicals and machinery. Moreover, it threatened the age-old traditional agricultural practices. Agriculture is one of the largest sectors that sustain livelihood to maximum number of people and contribute to climate change. Therefore, a climate-smart approach to sustainable food production is the need of hour. Traditional agriculture is getting increased attention worldwide in context of sustainable food production in changing climate. The present article advocates traditional agriculture as a climate-smart approach for the sustainable food production and also deliberates the correlation between climate change and agriculture.

“…Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) (FB) is a protein-rich legume and adapted to most climatic areas of Europe. FB's low fertiliser requirements and its capacity to return nitrogen to the soil make it an ecosystem-serviced crop (Jensen et al 2010). Faba bean is a good source of lysine, but sulphur containing amino acids methionine and cysteine are present at low levels in the protein of FB (Gatel 1994).…”

The study was conducted to evaluate an appropriate inclusion level of locally produced unprocessed or expander-processed coloured flowered faba bean (FB) (cv. 'Kontu') seeds in diets for laying hens. Egg production and egg quality variables were determined with 560 hens (Lohmann Selected Leghorn, LSL Classic) in a 40-week continued experiment. The hens were fed one of the five diets containing soybean meal as the main protein source. A diet without FB was served as a control diet. Both unprocessed and expander-processed FB was tested either in proportions of 50 g kg -1 or 100 g kg -1 in the diet. Faba bean inclusion (control vs. FB diets) had no effect on the egg production rate, egg mass production, feed consumption, or feed conversion ratio, but it decreased egg weight (p<0.05). Dietary FB inclusion tended to increase the mortality of the hens (p<0.10). Faba bean processing had no effects on egg production parameters or hen mortality. Daily egg mass production decreased and feed conversion ratio increased when FB proportion increased (from 50 to 100 g kg -1 , p<0.05). Faba bean inclusion had no effects on egg exterior quality. It can be concluded that 50 g kg -1 of the FB studied (cv. 'Kontu') can be used in the diets of laying hens (LSL Classic) without negative effects on production performance or livability.
