A large proportion of the maize planted in the tropics and highlands of Latin America is associated with beans and other crops. Agronomic research generally has focused on the improvement of varieties and hybrids, and the development of systems and technology for monoculture. The high production ...

Agronomic and economic contrasts between monocrop maize and associated maize/bean systems
Studies of planting dates, densities and patterns in maize bean associations were conducted in Colombia. An efficient methodology is needed to gain a better understanding of maize/bean systems and other crop combinations. The ideal system should minimize competition among the crops (for light, wa...

Propuesta de estudio de algunos componentes de una metodología para investigar los cultivos asociados en el trópico latinoamericano
Current methodologies and selection criteria used to screen and adapt var. for intercropping systems, especially beans/maize associations, in the tropics are reviewed. The overall importance of intercropping systems in the tropics is discussed as well as general plant characteristics useful for t...
