Evergreen Agriculture: a robust approach to sustainable food security in Africa (2010, background): “Results of long-term experiments established in the early 1990s show significant improvement in soil fertility and maize yields (Sileshi and Mafongoya 2006).”
Accurate crop yield predictions from modelling tree-crop interactions in gliricidia-maize agroforestry (2017, background): “In Malawi and Zambia, gliricidia-maize intercropping is widely practiced (Akinnifesi et al., 2010; Sileshi and Mafongoya, 2006).”
Synergistic effect of inorganic N and P fertilizers and organic inputs from Gliricidia sepium on productivity of intercropped maize in Southern Malawi (2007, background): “Research conducted in the region in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe also shows that gliricidia produces rich foliage biomass that is easily decomposed as green manure (Akinnifesi et al. 2006; Mafongoya et al. 2006; Makumba et al. 2005) readily used by cereal companion crops.”
Adoption of renewable soil fertility replenishment technologies in the southern African region: Lessons learnt and the way forward (2007, background): “…crop production, they also generate ecosystem services and conserve natural resource capital in several ways, e.g. enhancing soil animal biodiversity (Sileshi and Mafongoya, 2006), sequestering large quantities of carbon in soil and biomass (Makumba et al., 2007), improving soil moisture…”
