2022-02-14 16:06:16 Alley Cropping
(Hedgerow Intercropping):

Alley cropping, also known as hedgerow intercropping, involves managing rows of closely
planted (within row) woody plants with annual crops planted in alleys in between hedges.

The woody plants are cut regularly and leaves and twigs are used as mulch on the cropped
alleys in order to reduce evaporation from the soil surface, suppress weeds and/or add nutrients and organic matter to the top soil.

Where nitrogen is required for crop production, nitrogen-fixing plants are the main components of the hedgerows.

The primary purpose of alley cropping is to maintain or increase crop yields by improvement
of the soil and microclimate and weed control.
