Crop Complementarity

Crop Complementarity is a polyculture principle that denotes the beneficial interaction between different crop species grown in proximity, whereby their physiological, ecological, or phenological traits enable enhanced resource use efficiency, reduced interspecific competition, and increased system productivity relative to monocultures.
