Hello, my name is Benedikt Haug, and I am a researcher at the #PlantBreeding group of #WageningenUniversity. I will post here regularly on my work in breeding for biodiverse and resilient cropping systems, such as mixed cropping, strip cropping, agroforestry and agrivoltaics.

My main interests are in the role of the #PlantGenotype and its #Holobiont in...

Zi-Jun Ji et al. showed that #RiceAquaticAnimalCocultures can promote #EcologicalIntensification, and exploiting #InterspecificFacilitation and #NicheComplementarity are the ecological mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of coculture.
