Characterization of black walnut (Juglans nigra) cultivars for agroforestry systems
… black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) cultivars into alley cropping systems. Eastern black walnut is native to North America and exhibits architectural and phenological characters for reduced competition with winter alley crops. Black walnut also produces nutritious nuts, and cultivars with improved …

Decomposition and Nitrogen Release From Leucaena leucocephala,senna siamea, and Flemingia macrophylla Litter in managed alleys for maize in Zambia:Infuence of inorganic-N and litter Quality
… This study was superimposed on an existing alley cropping trial. In the on-going experiment , maize (variety MM 603,3-way cross), was the companion crop and the leguminous species comprised the alley hedgerows. Nylon litterbags with 4 mm mesh size were each filled with 20 g of dry leaf …
