Abstract
A hypothetical crop model capable of simulating a cereal-legume intercrop is outlined. Some of the uses to which it could be put are considered. The current status of two single-crop models of dry bean and maize is reviewed, and an attempt to join these together to enable simulation of combined bean-maize cropping systems is considered. Despite the desirability of a generic, portable intercrop model, its construction will require considerable research.
