Results of longterm fertility trials have been useful in identifying long-term nutrient needs and problems arising with continuous and intensive cropping on Alfisols. Available data have shown that high and sustained crop yields can be obtained with judicious and balanced NPK fertilization, combi...

Effect of soil fertility on early growth of leucaena and gliricidia in alley farms
Alley farming involves the cultivation of food crops among hedgerows of multipurpose trees. Use of woody legumes provides N-rich mulch and green manure to maintain soil fertility and enhance crop production, and protein-rich fodder for livestock. The success of alley farming depends on a number o...
