“…Leaf length and breadth are also highest in agroforestry systems because in the shade, leaves obtain more light for photosynthesis by increasing their surface area, so length and breadth are also higher. Simillar result also found in okra [27] and tomato [28]. This due to the stimulation of cell expansion and cell division of the leaf in the shade [29].…”

Fruit tree vegetable-based agroforestry systems (FVAS) are being introduced in highland cropping systems of Bangladesh. This combined production system is applicable against changing climate, ensuring nutritional requirements along with food security, ecological balance, and economic profitability. The present study explored the performance of cauliflower as lower story crop in aonla based multistoried agroforestry system. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replication. The treatments were T1= Aonla + carambola + lemon + dragon fruit + cauliflower, T2= Aonla + dragon fruit + cauliflower, T3= Dragon fruit + cauliflower, T4= Cauliflower in the open field (Control). Among different combinations of agroforestry systems, the highest curd yield of cauliflower (15 t ha-1) was recorded under dragon fruit-based system (T3) whereas most of the morphological parameters were maximum in the aonla + carambola + lemon + dragon fruit-based system (T1). The highest benefit–cost ratio (2.95) was noted in aonla+dragon+cauliflower-based system (T2) followed by dragon fruit based system (T3), while the highest land equivalent ratio (3.78) was calculated in the aonla + carambola + lemon + dragon fruit-based system (T1). This study revealed that, aonla + dragon + cauliflower based agroforestry system showed relatively higher economic returns and maximum land use efficiency in the upland cropping system.

“…Farmers employ sustainable practices, and ongoing initiatives aim to enhance productivity, improve crop resilience, and promote the overall sustainability of vegetable farming in Ghana of which okra production cannot be left out. Okra, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench is a staple vegetable crop in many tropical and subtropical regions due to its nutritional content and culinary versatility (Amin et al, 2022;Elkhalifa et al, 2021). In addition, it is a widely cultivated vegetable crop with economic importance, serving as an ideal candidate for examining the potential influence of A. zygia and A. lebbeck leafy biomass on crop performance (Kaur et al, 2023;Kumae et al, 2021).…”

In the array to assess the suitability of using amendments from nitrogen fixing trees in agroforestry, the response of okra to Albizia lebbeck and Albizia zygia leafy biomasses as soil amendments were investigated at the Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources Demonstration Farm in the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi-Ghana. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of different levels of A. lebbeck and A. zygia leafy biomasses on the growth and yield of okra in a randomized complete block design. Four treatments were used and allocated as T1 (Control, no biomass), T2 (0.2454 kg of A. lebbeck leafy biomass per 2.7 m2), T3 (0.2932 kg of A. zygia leafy biomass per 2.7 m2), T4 (0.2127 kg of A. lebbeck leafy biomass + 0.1466 kg of A. zygia leafy biomass per 2.7 m2. The treatments were replicated four times. Growth in height, stem diameter, fruit yield and fruit dry weight were the parameters investigated on. The application of A. lebbeck and A. zygia leafy biomasses as soil amendment significantly improve the growth (height and stem diameter) and yield (fruit yield and fruit dry weight) of okra compared to the control treatment during the twelve weeks period of the experiment (p˂0.05). Therefore, A. lebbeck and A. zygia leafy biomass amendments are recommended for use by okra farmers, as it has great prospects for use in soil fertility improvement.
