Adoption and management of alley cropping in Haiti
(2019-10-01)
Haiti, a hilly densely populated country, has experienced soil erosion problems for decades. The major impact is a reduction of soil fertility leading to decreasing agricultural productivity. Agriculture, a major sector ...
Promising tree species as hedgerows for alley cropping in different environments in Haiti
(2019-05-03)
Alley cropping is a system whereby annual crops are planted between rows of trees, which are pruned during the cropping season and the prunings applied as mulch or green manure. During periods where no crop is grown, the ...
Report 06. Evaluation of tree species adaptation for alley cropping in four environments in Haiti. A. Establishment phase
(2019-09-04)
Thirty-five tree species were planted in hedgerows in four environments in Haiti: high elevation (1150 m); low elevation, humid on calcareous soil; low elevation, humid on basaltic soil; and low elevation, semi-arid, with ...
Report 10. Impact des haies vives sur la production agricole
(2019-10-03)
Declining yields and land degradation are becoming more dramatic every year in spite of increasing foreign aid. Population growth far exceeds food production capacities. However, the effects of all agricultural development ...
Report 11. Outline of techniques for use in studying agroforestry hedgerows and alley cropping systems in Haiti
(2019-09-10)
Research methods for obtaining tree, crop, and soil data from Haitian hedgerow agroforestry systems are presented. Most of the procedures were developed during on-farm survey research conducted by Haiti Agroforestry Research ...
Report 15. Evaluation of tree species adaptation for alley cropping in four environments in Haiti. B. First year of pruning
(2019-09-04)
Tree species were evaluated for their suitability as hedgerows for alley cropping in Haiti. Major criteria discussed in this report are total and leaf biomass production, leaf/stem ratio, regrowth following pruning, and ...
Report 17. Assessment of hedgerow performances in the Haitian context
(2019-10-01)
Hillside farming in Haiti is practiced primarily by small farmers, and measures must be taken to help them at least maintain or possibly improve their production capacity. The introduction of techniques, such as hedgerow ...

(2019-09-05)
But de L'étude et Antécédents du Programme
Cette étude a pour but de mieux comprendre le programme de promotion des haies vives et d'appréhender leur gestion par les exploitants agricoles. Le programme a été mis en place ...
Report 27. The effects of Leucaena hedgerow management on maize and hedgerow biomass yields over two years of cropping
(2019-09-05)
The objectives of the study were to identify optimum hedgerow management practices for alley cropping in order to optimize crop yield and hedgerow biomass production under lowland conditions in Haiti.
The following ...
Report 30. The effects of alley cropping and other soil conservation practices on maize (Zea mays) yields over two years of cropping
(2019-06-04)
The effects of different soil conservation practices on crop and hedgerow biomass yields were assessed under lowland conditions in Haiti over a period of two years. The trial was conducted at Pernier (1300 mm annual rainfall) ...
