Voorbeelden van polyculture

• The polyculture consists of a warm-season grass, a cool-season grass, a sunflower and a legume13.

• The challenge for agronomists will be to design site-specific polyculture systems and management schemes that work in different soil, climate and crop systems.

• Intercropping uses the same principle but grows two or more saleable crops in a polyculture.

• Integrated systems could include crop diversity in both time (rotations), and space (polyculture).

• Polyculture systems provide greater plant diversity and enhance soil microbial diversity and such systems are able to take advantage of erratic precipitation frequency and distribution during the growing season.

• Moreover, since it is based on polyculture it does not involve the financial risk of a monoculture system meaning that a crop failure leads the whole business to fail.

• Researchers are investigating farming in polyculture that would eliminate the need for both tillage and pesticides, such as no-dig gardening.

• The relay of the economic viability of the settlement was mainly due to agricultural and forestry activities: livestock, chestnut and small polyculture for food.

• The ban had a productive outcome, because it resulted in the development of polyculture, growing multiple species in the same ponds.

• The science of agroecology has revealed the benefits of polyculture (multiple crops in the same space), which is often employed in organic farming.

• Perennial polyculture systems may have a variety of benefits over conventional annual monocultures such as increased biodiversity, reduced soil erosion, and reduced inputs of irrigation, fossil fuels, fertilizers, and pesticides.

• Polyculture, which is the mixing of different crops, has natural variation and a likelihood that one or more of the crops will be resistant to any particular pathogen.

• Other techniques used with limited efficacy have been the polyculture of shrimp with tilapia and maintenance of near-optimal water quality conditions in the grow-out ponds with reduction of organic loading.

• The number of farms has increased only slightly in the 2000 decade, from 7 to 8 in 10 years, including four field crop farms, sheep farms, and polyculture farms.

• The financial risk involve with losing half to an entire year's crop encouraged many producers to practice polyculture agriculture by pulling up vineyard space to plant alternative crops.
