Primes¶
- Variation Strategies
- Intercropping (growing multiple species in proximity) increases the variety of plant-soil-pest interactions, often reducing the need for external inputs, a synthesis Altieri (1999) developed in framing biodiversity as a functional design principle in sustainable agroecosystems.
This sourceSynthesizes the empirical case that crop diversity, rotation, and polyculture function as variation strategies for pest suppression, soil health, and yield stability in sustainable agriculture.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
