For my master thesis I am searching for present movements in the intercropping trend. I want to find out who finances studies about intercropping and who takes results into account for actual improving of production.

Dear Inga and others,
Below is a link to a paper that I published on a modern intercropping method that is used to control aphids on lettuce. Alyssum flowers are intercropped with lettuce to attract beneficial insects that eat aphids. There's also a link below to a video that describes this method. I hope this helps. Eric
