This publication on the evaluation of soils in agroforestry will enable you to explain how soils evaluation can be used in the diagnosis of agroforestry constraints and identify and interpret important soils information in the context of agroforestry intervention design.
2002-01-01 This book includes question and answers on how to improve and maintain tropical soil fertility. It also includes activity guides and a resource listing.
This pack looks at the factors that influence soil formation, and the characteristics of soils, including their physical, hydrological, chemical and biological properties.
The focus of this pack is agroforestry-the planting of trees and other woody plants on farms to help improve soil fertility and protect it against erosion, while simultaneously helping to meet the needs of farming families.
While erosion by water and wind is the most common form of soil degradation, soil may become less productive even without being physically removed from the land. How and why soils become physically and chemically degrade is the focus of this pack. It will explore how and why soils become...
