- Abstract
- Intercropping (IC) consists in growing various crops on one single plot at the same time. Despite the wide range of advantages it is associated to, its adoption in Belgium remains low. In fact, many interactions can take place between two associated crops, which lead either to facilitation or competition. Despite several decades of research, the exact relationships leading to facilitation or competition and the conditions in which they occur are still unclear. Consequently, it is hard to predict the outcome of a given IC design in a given environment and to advise farmers.
