Intensification of rice-based farming systems in Central Luzon, Philippines: Constraints at field, farm and regional levels por Silva, João Vasco, Reidsma, Pytrik, Lourdes Velasco, Ma., Laborte, Alice G., van Ittersum, Martin K.

“…More intensive practices, and better farm performance, were recorded in the province at the heart of the irrigation system. We thus conclude that closing rice yield gaps in the production systems of Central Luzon incurs trade-offs with environmental and social objectives at field and farm levels but less with economic objectives. …”

Enhancing the Productivity of Maize-Based Systems in Drought-Prone Areas of Malawi through Maize-Sweetpotato Intercropping por Longwe, K., Munda, E., Chipungu, Felistus P., Mello Kapezi, R., Kuweruza, F., Jogo, W.

“…Intercrops with two ridges of maize at 50cm alternating two ridges of sweetpotato at 75cm (T1), two ridges of maize at 50cm alternating with two ridges of sweetpotato at 100cm (T2), and four ridges of maize at 75cm alternating four ridges of sweetpotato at 100cm (T8) had land equivalent coefficient (LEC) > 0.25 and Land equivalent ratio (LER) > 1 at both sites indicating more efficient land use compared to monocropping. Sweetpotato contributed a greater proportion to the LER, and the positive correlation (R²) between sweetpotato yield and sweetpotato equivalent yield (PEY) suggests its potential to enhance the economic efficiency of maize-based systems. …”
