The line of battle is traditionally attributed to the navy of the Commonwealth of England and especially to General at Sea Robert Blake who wrote the Sailing and Fighting Instructions of 1653.
The unsatisfactory character of the accepted method of fighting battles at sea had begun to be obvious to naval officers, both French and British, by the later 18th century and began to be addressed during the numerous battles of the American War of Independence.

According to Dr Victor Sadras, a crop scientist with South Australia 's Research and Development Institute, trials in high-tech farming systems in Argentina have shown that sunflowers on 1.4 metre rows can be inter-planted with soybeans with only minor effects on sunflower yield.
So, Dr Sadras says, whatever yield is taken from the soybeans - and they are affected by shortage of water and by shade from the taller sunflower plants in their early stages - is extra productivity and profit.
Dr Sadras said large farms in Argentina were now using the inter-cropping system and, in some cases, attaining close to the ideal yield sunflowers might achieve when planted on their own.
