Abstract/Description

A Diversified Cropping System (DCS) results in a more resilient and productive cropping system. In this case, chickpeas were introduced as a relay intercrop between established lines of lentils. This not only had no negative effect on lentil yields, but also enabled the harvest of an extra crop: chickpeas.
