In alley farming, crop response to mulching is the most important determinant of whether or not the use of prunings for feeding animals is economic. The aim of this paper is to use some recent agronomic and animal nutrition trial data to reassess whether it is economic to add small ruminants to a...

The effect of managing hedgerow foliage for mulch and fodder in Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium alley farming systems on maize grain yield and soil chemical characteristics was studied in on-station and on-farm experiments in southwestern Nigeria. Yields increased as the proportion of...

Previous economic analysis found alley cropping more profitable than coventional farming. One study that also compared alley farming with small ruminants found it less profitable than alley cropping. The present study shows, on the basis of more recent experimental data, that crop response to mul...
