Resumen
Descripción
plantains and cooking bananas are important carbohydrate food sources in the humid tropics. They are traditionally grown in bush-fallow rotational systems, multistory cropping systems, or backyard gardens. Mulching is shown to be beneficial for plantains and bananas. Alley cropping with legwninous trees and shrubs is proposed as a source of mulch. Three concepts for managing plantains with woody legumes are being tested
