Maximizing crop yield in alley crops

Agroforestry Systems, 1998
A 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 ...

Weed suppression in alley cropping in Hungary

2017
Mechanical weed management can be problematic because of eg. space availability and risk of tree damage. The costs of weed control per area is, therefore, higher than in large scale monocultures. Use of herbicides is not recommended, due to potential damage to the trees. Straw cover is a possible method of weed control, but its effectiveness depends on

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.

An Economic Evaluation of Alley Cropping Grapes with Selected Vegetable Crops

Journal of Small Fruit & Viticulture, 1993
Muscadine 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,

Biophysical interactions in perennial biomass alley cropping systems

Agroforestry Systems, 2018
Understanding the nature and degree of competition between trees and co-planted crops in agroforestry systems can inform management decisions, future species selection, and system design. We measured variation in herbaceous biomass yield, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), soil water potential, and residual soil NO3 in alley cropping systems ...
