Designing strip intercropping systems (DiverIMPACTS Practice Abstract)
Strip cropping experiments have shown an increase in general biodiversity and beneficial insects, higher yields for various crops, slower development of pests and diseases, and less soil structural damage. By choosing strip widths compatible with the machines, a farmer already has, implementation on commercial farms can be realised without significant changes in equipment or management.
