Article: Data on agricultural systems published by researchers at University of Florida.(Report)

According to recent research from the United States, "The ecological sustainability of agroforestry systems is dependent on minimizing competitive interactions between system components. However, our understanding of resource competition and resource use efficiency in agroforestry systems such as alley cropping is limited."

"The objective of this study was to quantify the extent of competition for nitrogen (N) between loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum K. Koch.) and its effect on fertilizer-use efficiency and N movement, and the role of trees in capturing the N that is leached below the root zone of cotton. Two pine-cotton alley cropping ...
