Biological N2 fixation (BNF) of hedgerow trees, organic mailer decomposition and nutrient transfer to associated food Crops are the major processes which should actualize the expected benefits of alley cropping systems. Leucaena leucocephala or Gliricid,a sepium can fix between 134 and 274 kg N2 ...

Establishment of Leucaena leucocephala was poor at Ibadan (Transition forest-savanna zone) and Fashola (savanna zone, 70 km north of Ibadan) in southwestern Nigeria as a result of low soil fertility and the presence of only a few native rhizobia capable of nodulating it. Inoculation with L. leuco...

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...

To date, the site-specific, mixed reports of the influence of hedgerows on crap yields provide little predictive insight into which type of tree/crop combination is most appropriate for a specific location. The Alley Farming Network for Tropical Africa was established in 1989. The objectives of t...

Alley farming is an improved fallow technology developed at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) as a sustainable alternative to slash-and-burn systems practiced by farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Constraints to the use of the technology have been examined, but studies are li...
