“…Economic analyses have also indicated that alley cropping is profitable in tropical regions. In Cameroon for instance, Tonye and Titi-Nwel (1995) reported a marginal rate of return of 447% for alley cropping. Thus, alley cropping is an advantageous land management system for subsistence farmers (Bannister and Nair, 1990;Chen et al, 1989).…”

“…Devaluation of the CFA led to increase in the domestic price for locally produced maize. These results are supported by field studies that have shown existence of positive synergetic effects offertilizers to increasing productivity of agroforestry-based maize systems (Kang et aI., 1991;Yamoah et aI., 1993;Tonye and Titi-Nwel, 1995). Where farmers can afford fertilizers, their use with agroforestry and green manure-based technologies can significantly enhance financial profits.…”

“…The economic sustainabil-1995). Several studies have examined the technical feasihility and productivity of these agroforestry and green manure-based technologies for increasing maize productivity in west and central Africa (Ngambeki, 1985;McHugh, 1989;Yarnoah et al, 1993;Tonye and Titi-Nwel, 1995). However, only few economic studies of agroforestry technologies have been done in west and central Africa (Ngarnbeki, 1985;Sumberg et al, 1987;Ehui et al, 1990;Yamoah et al, 1993).…”

Questions have been raised about the ecological consequences and economic sustainability of exclusive reliance on chemical fertilizers for the rapidly expanding maize production across sub-Saharan Africa. Alternative agroforestry-based natural resource management technologies have been developed for farmers. This paper applies the policy analysis matrix (PAM) to analyze the social profitability of agroforestry-based technologies for maize production in the highland savanna zone of Cameroon, and the impacts of policy shifts on the financial competitiveness of maize production under these technologies. The paper shows that maize production under agroforestry-based systems has high comparative advantage.

“…Analisis ekonomi yang dilakukan oleh Tonye and Titi-Nwel (1995)menunjukkan bahwa dalam Alley cropping terjadi peningkatan kebutuhan tenaga kerja pada tahun pertama yaitu sebesar 14 HOK/ha untuk penanaman tanaman pagar dan 22 -26 HOK/ha untuk pemangkasan tanaman pagar serta pemulsaan pada tahun kedua dan ketiga. Analisis dominansi memperlihatkan bahwa pertanaman jagung + kacang tanah dalam Alley cropping dengan Leucaena leucocephala memberikan nilai pengembalian marjinal (marginal rate of return) yang lebih tinggi.…”

Lahan kering merupakan sumber daya alam yang mempunyai peluang besar untuk dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Pengelolaan lahan kering (terutama yang berlereng terjal) harus disertai dengan kaidah-kaidah teknik konservasi yang cocok dan sesuai dengan kondisi petani. Oleh karena itu teknik konservasi yang diintroduksikan haruslah teknik konservasi yang efektif mengendalikan erosi, murah dan mudah diterapkan serta dapat diterima oleh petani. Salah satu teknologi yang tersedia adalah sistem pertanaman lorong (Alley cropping). Tulisan ini membahas tentang potensi sistem alley cropping dalam meningkatkan resiliensi produksi pertanian pada lahan kering berdasarkan hasil-hasil penelitian tentang: (1) daur ulang hara dan kemampuan tanah menyimpan air, (2) efektivitas pengendalian erosi, (3)pengurangan kehilangan hara akibat pencucian, (4) peningkatan produktivitas tanah dan tanaman, (3) analisis ekonomi, (6) peluang dan adopsi. Dengan memperhatikan berbagai keunggulan, nilai ekonomi, peluang pengembangan dan adopsinya maka Alley cropping mempunyai potensi besar untuk meningkatkan resiliensi produksi pertanian pada lahan kering.
