How to plan to intercrop in a farm?

Question

Hi, I’m a student currently working on a project in Vietnam with okra, chillies and eggplant. I’ve read the article with what factors to take note of, but was wondering if there was a guideline that could better my understanding of the principles as well as make the work more efficient. For example, a brief list of factors (without examples) and how to decide on what method and when to start planting. Thanks for reading 🙂

Since you're in Vietnam, I'm not sure what your resources might be. Here's an article from an extension service in Texas that might give you some ideas as well as a general article.

I imagine Vietnam has it's own programs;
I do think you'll find more relevant information locally, but some of our Southern states that have warm, humid weather may have what you need through their agricultural programs. Here's a way to look up extension service offices in the US: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/what-is-extension-service.htm
