In the humid forest regions of southern Cameroon in central Africa, sectoral and macroeconomic policy reforms introduced in the late 1980s have led to intensified land use, which in turn has resulted in, among other environmental consequences, shortened fallow systems dominated by the Asteraceae ...

Impacts of type of fallow and invasion by Chromolaena odorata on weed communities in crop fields in Cameroon
The influence of weeds community composition and dynamics on groundnuts intercropped with
cassava was assessed in three different short fallow management systems, in the Forest Margins
Benchmark Area of southern Cameroon (Central Africa). Fallow management intensities, indicated through differi...

Influence of fallow landuse intensity on weed dynamics and crop yield in southern Cameroon
Fallow management plays a key role in supplying nutrients to the growing crop, suppressing weeds, reducing pests and diseases, and improving the sustainability of cropping systems in the humid forest zone of West and Central Africa. We evaluated soil nutrient concentration, soil acidity and soil ...
