Presents a description & an assessement of 16 village alley farms, incorporating two browse legumes, namely Leucaena leucocephala & Gliricidia sepium, in four-metre alternate rows with staple food crops, within the Fashola and Badeku/Ikire areas in southwest Nigeria.
The aim of the research reported here was to compare the early growth and nodulation of Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium, grown in pots containing soils of differing fertility obtained from alley farms. The plants' response to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers and to inoculation with...
