Abstract
The practice of intercropping leguminous and gramine for promoting sustainable agriculture, optimizing resource utilization, enhancing biodiversity, and reducing reliance on petroleum products. However, promoting conventional intercropping strategies in modern agriculture can prove challenging. The innovative technology of soybean maize strip intercropping (SMSI) has been proposed as a solution. It has produced remarkable results in improving domestic soybean and maize production for both food security and sustainable agriculture. In this article, we will provide an overview of SMSI and explain how it differs from traditional intercropping. We will also discuss the core principles that foster higher yields and the prospects for its future development.1
