Phosphorus availability under annual cropping, alley cropping, and multistrata agroforestry systems

Agroforestry Systems, 2001
The hypothesis that agroforestry systems conserve P in forms that are more crop-available than those found in annual cropping systems was tested on two tropical sites: an Ultisol in Yurimagas, Peru, and a volcanically derived Inceptisol in Turrialba, Costa Rica.

Systems thinking and practice for alley cropping research

1997
Systemic and reductionist methodologies were applied to explore alley cropping systems. Alder (Alnus rubra) and black locust (Robina pseudoacacia) are grown as green manure in sweet corn production systems. Our research includes the study of biological, ecological, and social interactions.

Effect of alley cropping with Leucaena leucocephala and fertilizer application on yield of vegetable crops

Agroforestry Systems, 1992
Field experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of alley cropping vegetable crops with Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit for two seasons on a sandy loam Oxic paleustalf in southwestern Nigeria. Four vegetable crops (Amaranthus cruentus L.; Celosia argentea L.; Okra, Hibiscus esculentus L.; and tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were ...

Alley cropping—soil productivity and nutrient recycling

Forest Ecology and Management, 1997
Abstract In the past few decades there has been growing concern about the exhaustibility of non-renewable soil resources in developing countries in the tropics to meet the needs of present and future generations. Land degradation is a major problem in many parts of the tropics, including subSaharan Africa, mainly owing to overexploitation of ...

Nutrient contribution and maize performance in alley cropping systems

Agroforestry Systems, 1986
Dry matter yield and potential contribution of N, P and K of some woody perennials as well as performance of maize were assessed in an alley cropping system at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria. Dry matter yield was highest forCassia, followed byGliricidia and theFlemingia.

From alley cropping to cashew farms

2004
Flores is an island at the heart of the small archipelago between Bali and Timor. The eastern part of this archipelago is an Indonesian province called Nusa Tenggara Timur, and Flores is part of it. This chapter examines the adoption of cashew as a new tree crop in the Sikka district, an already densely populated and cultivated region of Flores. Cashew

Trees in Alley Cropping: Competitors or Soil Improvers?

Outlook on Agriculture, 1994
Agroforestry has a high potential to sustain agricultural production in the humid tropics. One specific type of agroforestry, alley cropping, has received much attention as a means of producing staple food crops within an agroforestry system. There is now substantial evidence that alley cropping maintains soil fertility above levels found in pure ...
