abstract: Smallholder farmers in southern africa must cope with declining soil fertility and production risks associated with frequent droughts (jayne et al., 2014). Legume integration through rotations or intercropping in maize-based farming systems are promoted to increase crop diversification and soil fertility. Anovel strategy, doubled up legumes, could help develop production systems that fulfil sustainable intensification (SI) indicators. It is however crucial to understand resource competition in mixed cropping systems under variable soil and climate conditions.
