Intercropping dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with Cucumis myriocarpus and Cleome gynandra under deficit irrigation: impacts on soil physicochemical properties, water-use efficiency and crop growth

Water scarcity is a major constraint limiting agricultural productivity in semi-arid regions. Developing sustainable production systems that improve water-use efficiency while maintaining soil physicochemical quality is therefore essential. This study evaluated the combined effects of cropping systems and deficit...
