A study was undertaken to assess the effect of different pruning intervals of Leucaena leucocephala hedgerows on alley cropped maize and cassava. Farmers often delay hedgerow pruning in alley cropping systems due to labor, and financial constraints. It is not clear, however, when hedgerow shading...

Field trials were carried out on a Dystric Nitosol at Calavi in the subhumid zone of southern Benin Republic, West Africa from 1989-1997. A split plot design with four replications was used. There were (our main plots: control (no hedgerow), Leucaena hedgerows, Acacia hedgerows and mixed Leucaena...
