| dc.description | The ninth fact sheet in the <i>Save and Grow</i> series presents the key points of maize agroforestry for the smallholder. Maize production is increased when it is grown under nitrogen-fixing trees such as<I>Faidherbia albida</I>, an African acacia species. Planting leguminous coppicing trees, such as <i>Gliricidia sepium</i>, is another way of increasing maize production sustainably. In areas where land holdings are larger than 1 ha, growing leguminous shrubs such as Sesbania sesban on fallow fields is another option for revitalizing the soil and increasing maize yields. | |
