- Traditional cocoa-based agroforestry and forest species conservation in Ondo State, Nigeria (2007, background): “One study, the Alternatives to Slash and Burn programme in Cameroon (Palm et al., 2005), has evaluated and characterized the environmental, social and economic parameters in various land use systems, including cocoa agroforests.”
- Financial analysis of shaded cocoa in Ghana (2007, background): “Duguma et al. (2001) reported that, even with no value assigned to the tree species, cocoa production in smallholder systems in Cameroon was profitable, with production being more profitable with planted shade trees.”
- Ecological, economic and social perspectives on cocoa production worldwide (2007, background): “Duguma et al. (2001) predict that developing integrated pest and disease management that is cost effective and environmentally sustainable would likely help to promote cocoa agroforests.”
- Productivity of Theobroma cacao agroforestry systems with timber or legume service shade trees (2011, background): “Timber trees occur at low population densities in cocoa plots (Asare 2005; Beer et al. 1998; Bobo et al. 2006; Chalmers 1971; Duguma et al. 2001; Lim 1978; Orozco et al. 2008; Rolim and Chiarello 2004; Somarriba 2007; Somarriba et al. 2008a, b ,S ua´rez and Somarriba 2002; Suatunce et al. 2003).”
- Nutrient stocks, nutrient cycling and soil changes in cocoa ecosystems - a review (2005, background): “Carbon storage under cocoa is, however, often higher than in comparable soils under annual cropping (Duguma et al., 2001; Kotto-Same et al., 1997).”
- Effect of Trichoderma asperellum and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on cacao growth and resistance against black pod disease (2011, methodology): “using metalaxyl and copper-based fungicides, together with other forms of phytosanitary measures (weekly removal of mummified pods) is reported to be the most effective strategies to reduce the impact of the disease (Duguma et al., 2001; Ndoumbe-Nkeng et al., 2004; Sonwa et al., 2008).”
- Long-term dynamics of cocoa agroforests: a case study in central Cameroon (2011, unknown): “The soil organic matter values mentioned by Duguna et al. (2001) in mature cocoa plantations set up in forest areas in central and southern Cameroon are around 4.1–4.7%.”
