Modeling Illustrates That Genomic Selection Provides New Opportunities for Intercrop Breeding

Intercrop breeding programs using genomic selection can produce faster genetic gain than intercrop breeding programs using phenotypic selection. Intercropping is an agricultural practice in which two or more component crops are grown together. It can lead to enhanced soil structure and fertility, im...
