Chromolaena odorata (Siam weed; Asteraceae), is an important weed in most cropping systems of humid West and Central Africa. In plantain (Musa spp.), the most important cash food crop in Cameroon, the traditional system of slash and burn of old secondary forest with long phases of weed-free crop ...

The study determined the decomposition and nutrient release patterns of Pueraria phaseoloides, Flemingiamacrophylla and Chromolaena odorata leaf residues in young secondary forest and bush land use systems at Mfou, southern Cameroon. Residue mass loss after incubating fresh leaves for 120 days wa...

To assess if the nutrient supply through planted tree fallows meets crop nutrient uptake and export, N, P, K, Ca and Mg uptake and export by a groundnut/maize/cassava intercrop was compared with the nutrient uptake by three planted fallow systems (Senna spectabilis, Flemingia macrophylla, Dactyla...

In low-input land-use systems combining timber trees with shade-tolerant understorey crops, it is essential to establish the effects of tree density upon weeds and the contribution of weeds to competition and nutrient cycling. Adjusting tree density may alter weed competition for light, water and...

Tree litter fall was monitored for 2 years in two Terminalia ivorensis A. Chev. plantations in the humid tropics of southern Cameroon. The plantations were 6 and 17 years old when they were each thinned to two timber stand densities (TSD) and understorey food crops were introduced. Leaf litter wa...

The impact of land use (unfertilized continuous maize cropping, unfertilized and fertilized alley cropping with maize, Gliricidia sepium tree fallow, natural fallow) on the soil organic matter (SOM) status and general soil fertility characteristics were investigated for a series of soils represen...

Agriculture and food production are predominantly soil-based, with only marginal portions based on hydroponics or the use of only biomass as a substrate. In this chapter, the factors aff ecting sustainable soil use will be elaborated. This is defi ned as factors that: • maintain or improve soil b...

Result of long time alley cropping trials show that the inclusion of N2- fixing hedgerow species maintain higher levels of soil fertility than control treatment (no hedgerow) on high base status soils in the humid zone. Hedgerows contribute to nutrient cycling and higher faunal activity. With goo...

Mulching with plant organic matter has been shown to reduce nematode population densities in various cropping systems. The level of nematode control is increased when such mulches are incorporated into the soil as organic amendments. Chromolaena odorata, Tithonia diversifolia and Pueraria phaseol...
