A Stochastic Optimum Proportion Under a Shared System of Sole Crops

Abstract

Intercropping systems are often compared with sole crops. However, when responses on both components in a two-crop system are required, a shared sole crop system is also considered as an alternative system for comparing the productivity under intercrops. Productivity of the shared system depends on the proportion of area allotted to two sole crops. A method for choosing this shared proportion of the two sole crops in the same plot in a stochastic optimal way is presented
