Understanding root interaction in intercropping system
Intercropping systems can be beneficial for system resource use efficiency (such as nitrogen, etc.) and improving crop productivity and stability.... -
The potential of intercropping for weed suppression and crop yield
Intercropping is the agricultural practice where two or more crop species are cultivated simultaneously within a single season on the same area of... -
Quantifying plant traits and weed suppression in intercrop systems
Intercropping is the agricultural practice where two or more crop species are cultivated simultaneously within a single season on the same area of... -
Investigate the plant architecture ideotype of hybrid potato for improved tuber production
Hybrid potato provides potentials for fast breeding and more sustainable tuber production. The novel hybrids can grow from various starting materials,... -
Modelling cereal-legume intercrop systems to unravel the mechanisms of weed suppression
Intercropping is a system where multiple crop types are combined in space and/or time within a season. One of the major benefits of intercropping and... -
Discover the development of hybrid potato: plant architecture and branching pattern
Unlike many animals that can move or alter their behaviors in response to environmental changes, most higher plants cope with varying environmental... -
Virtual tomato crops
Jochem Evers and his team are developing a digital twin of a tomato crop in a greenhouse: a 3D simulation model that is fed in real-time with sensor... -
Pruning in Cocoa
Pruning in Cocoa - WUR Project Pruning in Cocoa We aim understand and quantify cocoa response to pruning in relation to shading and to design optimal... -
Light capture and water use in intercrops
Intercropping is widely used in Asia, Africa, and South America to enhance productivity, resource use efficiency and reduce risks. While intercropping...
