A recent study conducted by the Agraecology Center of Embrapa Meio Ambiente in partnership with other educational institutions has found that lettuces grown in agroecological agroforestry systems (SAFs) have similar dimensions and dry mass to those grown alone, except in full sun where a higher dry mass was observed in single cultivation. The research aims to enhance the production factors in the mixed cultivation of vegetables and green manures in SAFs and discovered that intercropping irrigated lettuce with arugula and radish improved production per unit area. The study also highlighted the benefits of green manure plants in improving soil quality and the importance of different types of soil preparation for the establishment of green manure species in SAFs. The researchers have published their findings and emphasize the need for further research to optimize the establishment of green manures in agroecological SAFs.

Lettuces grown in consortium in agroecological agroforestry systems (SAFs) had a horizontal diameter, dry mass and number of leaves similar to those produced alone under the same conditions. This was one of the results of studies carried out by researchers at the Agraecology Center of Embrapa Meio Ambiente (SP), in partnership with the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and the Luiz de Queiroz Higher School of Agriculture (Esalq). The scientists' objective was to find ways to improve the factors of production in the mixed crops of vegetables and green manures between the lines of an agroforestry system at the Embrapa Meio Ambiente Agroecological Site. Only in experiments in full sun (without shading), the dry mass of the lettuce showed a significant difference between the two systems, with the value in single cultivation being higher than that of intercropping. “Agroecological agroforestry systems (SAFs) present a combination of species of agricultural crops of economic ...
