“…This could be due to higher root biomass including root length density (Winkler, 2015) [39] contributed by broom grass to the system that improved soil binding ability, and reduced soil loss. Higher conservation efficiency and soil binding capacity of broom grass was also reported by Kafle and Balla (2008) [14] in Nepal.…”

Long term effects of six agroforestry practices (AFPs) (>25 years old), on soil attributes with respect to soil degradation and improvement was assessed in the North Eastern Hill region of India and their effectiveness in improving soil health parameters was compared with shifting cultivation (Jhum) and natural forest of Khasi pine and terraced agriculture (Maize). Agroforestry practices significantly improved the soil physical, chemical and biological properties such as soil aggregation, water holding capacity, erosion susceptibility, soil organic carbon, microbial biomass carbon, basal respiration etc. The improvement was more pronounced in alder based agro forestry practices. Soil quality index (SQI) was also highest for Alder +large cardamom (0.858) followed by Alder +Tea +Black pepper (0.758) and Alder +Ginger (0.756). The study inferred that alder based agro forestry practices not only prevented from land degradation but improved the soil health and environmental sustainability. When shifting cultivation is unavoidable, the land restoration should be done with the help of alder based agro forestry practices to sustain its production and ecological functions.

“…It is easy to establish and is , , persistent drought tolerant suitable for cutting and very good for silage making. According to Kafle and Balla (2008), broom grass and napier are most effective in reinforcing the soil by providing a network of strong roots that increase the soil's resistance to shear. Lemus and Lal (2005) included napier in the list of bioenergy crops which can sequester carbon and offset fossil fuel.…”

Adlay is considered an alternate staple food crop in the Philippines while napier is a versatile multipurpose fodder crop. Effective intercropping and fertilization strategies for the production of these crops could help address the problems on food and feed supply. The objectives ofthe study were to 1) evaluatethe growth and yield of adlay with napier at various fertilization scheme; 2) determine the appropriate intercropping and fertilization schemes for maximum adlay production; 3) appraise the efficiency of intercropping scheme; and 4) assess the profitability of intercropping adlay with napier at various fertilization scheme. The study was laid out in split-plot with three intercropping scheme (C1=Monocrop adlay, C2=Adlay with napier at 1:1 row ratio, and C3=Adlay with napier at 2:1 row ratio) and five fertilization schemes (F0=Unfertilized, F1=120kg ha-1 N inorganic fertilizer, F2=60kg ha-1 N inorganic fertilizer+ 1t ha-1 chicken dung, F3=30kg ha-1 N inorganic fertilizer+ 1 .5t ha-1 chicken dung, and F4=2t ha-1 chicken dung). Fertilization scheme significantly affected the days to flowering and maturity, vegetative tillers, plant height, number of productive and unproductive tillers, panicle length, herbage and grain yields of adlay and also the tiller and herbage yield of napier as well as the land equivalent and area time equivalent ratios. Fertilization with pure inorganic fertilizer or with combinations ofchicken dung had ROI of 1.31 to 1.44 per peso invested.
