Impact of intercropping on agronomic and metabolic responses of Medicago sativa and Hordeum marinum under nutrient deficiency and drought stress. Frontiers in Agronomy, 7, p.1636363.10.3389/fagro.2025.1636363https://hdl.handle.net/10566/21739Background: Intercropping has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance crop performance and resilience under conditions of abiotic stress. Medicago sativa and Hordeum marinum constitute a potentially complementary forage system for semi-arid regions, yet their integrated physiological and metabolic responses to combined water and nutrient limitations remain poorly characterized. This study evaluated whether intercropping could improve productivity, nutrient acquisition, and biochemical stress adaptation under drought and reduced fertilization.enintercroppingMedicago sativa- Hordeum marinumdrought stressnutrient deficiencymetabolomicsArticle
