Two projects on alley cropping research and development have been implemented in the Forest zone of Cameroon (FZC) since 1988. Their goal was to identify the main agricultural constraints in the FZC and to introduce alley cropping in the farming systems to improve soil fertility and crop yields. ...

Alley agriculture in Africa. In Alley cropping, food crops are grown in alleys formed by hedgerows of trees or shrubs, preferably legumes. The hedgerows are cut back at planting and at intervals during cropping to provide mulch and manure for crops growing in the alleys, and to prevent shading an...

The Congo Basin is marked by the historical and cultural persistence, and resilience, of slash-and-burn agriculture – also known as shifting cultivation (or ‘forest agriculture’), on the one hand, and by contradictions between the relevance of externally introduced agricultural technologies and t...

Rigidity versus adaptation: contribution to the debate on agricultural viability and forest sustainability in southern Cameroon
Potted cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp., plants were used to determine the effects of defoliation and pod position relative to the leaf canopy on infestation and damage by the coreid pod-bugs Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stål and Anoplocnemis curvipes (F.). Temperature measurements were taken ...
