Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Alley cropping encouraged faster Choerospondias tree growth than tree-alone systems.
- Intervention effect Alley cropping depressed peanut yield by 20% to 50%.
- Association PAR had a negative relationship with peanut biomass and yield.
- Observation Trees used water beneath the surface soil layer and alleviated seasonal drought.
- Observation Tree–peanut competition for soil water occurred at the start of the dry season.
- Intervention effect Alley cropping decreased nitrogen recovery by peanut relative to mono-peanut cropping.
- Intervention effect Alley cropping increased nitrogen recovery by the tree relative to mono-peanut cropping.
- Observation Light influenced peanut yield and biomass most, with fertilizer and water also contributing.
- Recommendation The authors recommend accounting for resource competition when optimizing tree–peanut alley cropping.
