  1. 1. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Nyckelord :crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Sammanfattning : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. LÄS MER

  3. 2. An investigation of pea and cereal varieties for organic intercropping in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Agnes Elise Matilda Wilson; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Intercropping; agroecology; organic; peas; cereals; heritage grains;

    Sammanfattning : Organic farming, intercropping and the conservation of landraces are agroecological methods of transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system, however there is a lack of data on varieties suitable for organic intercropping. Therefore, two spatially parallel field trials were conducted with 11 pea varieties intercropped with oat, and 38 varieties of cereals (wheat, oat, and barley), in sole crops. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The effect of knowledge on farmers’ intercropping adoption decisions : the perspective of Swedish farmers

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Frida Svensson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Adoption; adoption intensity; double-hurdle model; knowledge; intercropping;

    Sammanfattning : Intercropping is sustainable from both an economic and environmental point of view since it can increase yields, decrease input costs, make efficient use of available growth resources, increase crop biodiversity and natural biodiversity, suppress pests and diseases, and reduce land degradation. This makes the uptake of the practice important for future sustainable agricultural. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Kan samodling av höstraps och utvintrande baljväxter minska angreppen av rapsjordloppa?

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Elin Tegelid; [2023]
    Nyckelord :samodling; rapsjordloppa; utvintrande baljväxter; oljeväxter; raps;

    Sammanfattning : Höstraps (Brassica napus) är en av världens och Sveriges viktigaste grödor. Det är en viktig avbrottsgröda i växtföljder dominerade av spannmål. Tyvärr har den omfattande odlingen gjort att rapsen drabbats av patogener och skadegörare, vilket försvårar ekologisk odling. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Ecosystems Services in swidden agriculture in the Peruvian tropical Andes : the Kechwa-Lamas farm-forestry system

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Geannine Gisset Chabaneix Portocarrero; [2023]
    Nyckelord :swidden agriculture; ecosystem services; Peru; Amazon;

    Sammanfattning : In the Amazon, life supporting services are importantly associated to forest areas. Nevertheless, the connection of ecosystem services to agricultural systems it is also of great importance, because agriculture is one of the most important causes of degradation and loss of these areas.
