The economics of adoption and management of alley cropping in Haiti
Journal of Environmental Management, 2007The Haitian people are facing serious problems of environmental degradation that threaten the economic livelihoods of many resource-poor farmers. Structures to retard the process of soil loss have been adopted reluctantly and, even when adopted, the management and maintenance have been less than desirable.

Alley cropping: past achievements and future directions
Agroforestry Systems, 1993There is a need to develop viable farming systems for tropical uplands dominated by low-activity clay soils; such systems should ensure sustained crop production while protecting the soil resource base. Alley cropping has the potential to meet this need.

Alley Farming: A Sustainable Technology for Crops and Livestock Production
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 2006ABSTRACT Sustainable increase in agricultural production was achieved in the past through the use of bush-fallow farming system. Extensive land use due to urbanization, increase in population and high farming population has led to reduction in fallow period.

Maximizing crop yield in alley crops
Agroforestry Systems, 1998A simple graphical model is presented illustrating the balance between facilitation and competition necessary for maximizing crop yield in alley cropping systems. Three functions are composed into the decision function: (1) the percent increase in crop yield from facilitation resulting from prunings, (2) the amount of prunings resulting from different ...

An Economic Evaluation of Alley Cropping Grapes with Selected Vegetable Crops
Journal of Small Fruit & Viticulture, 1993Muscadine grape (Ktis rotundifolia) cultivars were alley cropped with a number of annual vegetables in order to determine the economic feasibility of this system for a small farm . Four cropping patterns were used: Grapes alley cropped with (1) turnip, mustard and collards (planted in alternate rows between alley ways)/turnip/cowpeas/turnip, (2) turnip,

Plant and Soil, 2001
Improved cropping systems with in-situ production of organic matter require the input of additional inorganic N to maintain crop production in a sustainable way. For proper management of this fertilizer-N, it is necessary to quantify how the applied fertilizer N is used by the various components of the system and by the system as a whole. The fate of a

Does pollarding trees improve the crop yield in a mature alley‐cropping agroforestry system?
Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, 2020AbstractIn agroforestry systems, the canopy of maturing trees progressively reduces the radiation available for the crop. Tree management practices such as pollarding can be used to restore the crop light availability. We monitored durum wheat, barley and pea yields during three consecutive years in an alley‐cropping agroforestry system with hybrid ...

Productivity at the tree-crop interface of a young willow-grassland alley cropping system
Agroforestry Systems, 2016Alley cropping multi-rows of shrub willow hybrids and grassland is a promising temperate agroforestry practice for an environmentally sound provision of bioenergy feedstock. The effect of willows, aged 2–3 years, on two grassland mixtures (clover-grass, diversity oriented mixture) was determined at three positions along the tree-crop interface at a ...
