Phosphorus availability under alley cropping and mulched and unmulched sole cropping systems in Costa Rica

Plant and Soil, 1991
Phosphorus availability was measured in soils under five cropping systems: alley cropping with Erythrina poeppigiana, alley cropping with Gliricidia sepium, sole cropping with Erythrina poeppigiana mulch applied, sole cropping with Gliricidia sepium mulch applied, sole cropping with no mulch.

Comparative Economic Study of Mixed and Sole Cassava Cropping Systems in Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Agricultural economists continue to argue if mixed or sole cassava cropping system is more economically profitable and in terms of yield and returns to farmers particularly for Nigeria which is the world’s largest producer of the crop. The study was carried out to analyse the economics comparatively of mixed and sole cassava cropping systems in ...

Response of tomato and okra to nitrogen fertilizer in sole cropping and intercropping with cowpea

The Journal of Horticultural Science, 1991
SummaryExperiments on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) to determine effects of intercropping with cowpea (Vigna unquiculata) at different nitrogen fertilizer rates are described. Vegetative characters of tomato were not affected by intercropping but those of okra were.

Growth Analysis of Biomass Production in Sole‐Crop and Double‐Crop Corn Systems

Crop Science, 2009
ABSTRACTIncreased biomass productivity could be achieved through double‐cropping if extended growth duration could be realized with minimal reductions in growth efficiency relative to sole‐cropping. To test this hypothesis, functional growth analysis was used to assess the relative importance of photosynthetic duration and efficiency in determining ...

Crop Yield Response to Incorporation of Leaf Prunings in Sole and Alley Cropping Systems

East African Agricultural and Forestry Journal, 1996
AbstractThis experiment assessed the feasibility of using leaf prunings of Calliandra calothyrsus and Leucaena leucocephala for soil fertility improvement in alley cropping and sole cropping systems. The experiment, conducted at the National Agroforestry Research site at the Kenya Agricultural Research Institutes's (KARI's) Regional Research Centre ...

The influence of subsoiling a plough-sole on the yield of agricultural crops

Soil Technology, 1990
Abstract The effect of subsoiling a plough pan on penetration resistance, root development and crop yield was studied on two Belgian silt loam soils. The removal of the plough layer, characterized by a penetration resistance >3 MPa , resulted in a better root development beneath the former plough-layer and a higher water and nutrient ...
