Detailed explanation-1: -Improved soil health – Alley cropping is a good option for areas prone to erosion or in a degraded shape, particularly when the tree and shrub rows are planted along contours. Woody roots in this system help reduce soil erosion, add organic carbon to the soil, recycle and add nutrients, and improve nutrient retention.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hardwood timber or nut trees: Hardwoods such as black walnut or pecan may be combined with annual crops such as corn or soybeans. Forage crops can be cultivated between tree rows for harvest or livestock grazing, or shrubs palatable to livestock can be grown for fodder, e.g. tagasaste.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conclusion. Alley cropping is a sustainable agriculture practise in which trees or other perennial plants are planted in rows between crop rows. Alley cropping can improve soil health and provide additional benefits to crops while increasing crop yield.
