Abstract
- Tree species used in alley cropping usually include high-value nut trees like walnut, pecan or chestnut, or high-value hardwoods like oak and walnut. Alley cropping is the planting of two or more groups of single or multiple rows of trees or shrubs on wide spacings, leaving broad aisles in which agronomic, horticultural or forage crops may be grown. While riparian buffers can be part of a successful agroforestry program, alley cropping is another agroforestry system that can work well. [Extracted from the article]
