Agroecology Knowledge Hub

Database

Agroecology plays an important role in contributing to the eradication of hunger and extreme poverty, and as a means to facilitate the transition to more productive, sustainable and inclusive food systems. Creating a greater awareness of agroecology and its advantages is an important step to help policy-makers, farmers and researchers to apply this approach to achieve a world without hunger.

The database provides a starting point to organize the existing knowledge on agroecology, collecting articles, videos, case studies, books and other important material in one place. The objective is to support policy-makers, farmers, researchers and other relevant stakeholders through knowledge exchange and knowledge transfer. The database is a ‘living process’ that is constantly being updated.

Policy and regulation framework for eco-transformation of agriculture in China

There is a great need for agriculture in China to enter an eco-transformation stage characterized by high efficiency, output safety, resource saving and environmentally friendly. In order to push forward the development of eco-agriculture, the principles for setting up policy and regulation framework in China are proposed here based on...

Effect of application of phosphate fertilizer on absorption of nutrient for maize and broad bean intercropping system

The dynamic changes of NPK absorption by maize and broad bean in maize and broad bean intercropping system were tested by using different application amount of phosphate fertilizer. The results show that the phosphorus uptake of the above-ground parts of the intercropping maize and broad bean had increased with different...

Effect of maize row spacing on yield of pea-maize intercropping system

Crop row spacing in intercropping systems affects interactions of crop species and subsequent crop yields. In a field experiment, the response of crop yield to different maize row spacing (0-80 cm) in pea/maize intercropping system was investigated. The results showed that land equivalent ratio (LER) of each treatment exceeded 1,...

Temporal and spatial changes of active organic carbon and nitrogen under faba bean-maize intercropping system

A field experiment was conducted to study the temporal and spatial changes of active organic C and N in the newly cultivated light sierozem soil under fava bean/maize intercropping system at Hong Shipu, in Ningxia Region. The results showed that the contents of soil microbial biomass C and N (SMBC,...

Uptake and conversion efficiencies of NPK and corresponding contribution to yield advantage in cotton-based intercropping systems

Cotton-based intercropping is a popular agronomic practice in Northwest China that addresses the conflict on planting area between cereals and cotton. However, not sufficient knowledge exists on the yield advantage, nutrient uptake and conversion of cotton-based intercropping. In this paper, the uptake and conversion efficiency of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P)...

Effect of nitrogen addition on nitrogen nutrition and strip rust occurrence of wheat in wheat-faba bean intercropping systems

The intercropping of wheat and fava bean is widespread in Yunnan province. Strip rust is the main wheat disease in that region. In order to assess wheat nitrogen nutrition and strip rust occurrence, two field experiments were conducted simultaneously at Yuxi and Luliang spots in Yunnan. Three nitrogen (N) fertilization...
