Abstract: Crop intensification is a key aspect for achieving global food security and exploring options for optimizing land use and environmental resources. Following this rationale, a maize (Zea mays L.) – soybean (Glycine max L.) double cropping was tested to intensify current agricultural systems in the Southern region of the United States (US).
