Background Disentangling nutrient acquisition strategies between trees and crops is central
to understanding positive nutrient interactions in agroforestry systems for improved low-input …

Farmers growing desire for no shade cocoa system has reiterated the scepticism about the
impact of research on farmers' adoption of cocoa Agroforestry. In this study, we assess …

Silvopastoral systems include trees or shrubs and grasses and are considered a sustainable
method of restoring degraded pastures and increasing carbon and nitrogen stocks in …

In low-input farming systems, the availability of nutrients can limit yields as well as biological
nitrogen fixation (BNF). The adaptability of legume species to soil fertility conditions may be …

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in legume crops is a crucial ecosystem service that
enhances soil nitrogen and reduces the need for chemical fertilisers. This study evaluates …

Understanding root development in soil profiles of agroforestry systems is challenging. It is
uncertain to what extent the proximity of cash crops, such as cocoa and coffee, to shade …

The lack of non-toxic, biodegradable and easily available green corrosion inhibitor that offer
analogous anticorrosive property as that of commercial toxic inhibitors is the main tailback in …

Purpose Intercropping of two leguminous species at three planting densities and rainfed
coconut trees was evaluated for green manuring in sub-humid region. We hypothesize that …

Climate change and environmental degradation have contributed in compromising the soil
nutrient integrity of cocoa farmlands, yet sustainable nutrient recycling innovation in cocoa …

Abstract Knowledge is lacking on the effects of associated crops on cocoa productivity in
complex cocoa-based agroforestry systems. Through a generalized linear mixed model, we …
