Abstract

An alley cropping trial with various vegetable crops and Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit was carried out on an Oxic Paleustalf soil in southern Nigeria. With application of N, P, and K fertilizer, there were no yield differences between crops grown with alley cropping compared to control plots. With no fertilizer application, alley-cropped paitsai (Brassica chinensis L.) enhanced yield and plant mineral concentration. Alley cropping gave higher plant stand of direct-seeded paitsai, mainly due to reduced soil erosion.
