The
#Crop
#Diversity
#Experiment
funded by
@snf_ch
can show first results available on
@biorxivpreprint
. First year results from
#Switzerland
show 21% and 44% increases in yield in 2- and 4-species
#mixtures
, respectively. Yield benefits in Spain were 3% and 13%. (1/5)
In a first study we can show that these yield benefits of
#intercropping
are not due to reduced
#weed
pressure. Weed abundance was related to crop yield, but not affected by crop
#richness
, but rather by the presence of
#cereals
