Examples of fallowfallow Fuel wood from improved fallows on far m may provide a means to conserve the natural vegetation, which is under threat due to deforestation. Moreover, sesbania does not coppice, and this means that sesbania fallows have to be re-established after two to three postfallow crops. While increasing insect pressures can be controlled through appropriate crop rotations and seasonal fallows, in such societies the dominant constraint is weeds. Improved fallows: effects of species interaction on growth and productivity in monoculture and mixed stands. The main objective of this paper is to assess the potential of herbaceous legume fallows in improving farm income. Herbaceous legume fallows are another form of such fallows. The haulm yield of groundnuts after natural fallows was similar to that after calliandra fallows. Therefore, for this field type other options have to be pursued to sustain production after shortened fallows. Results also hint that mixed fallows would be more effective than single species fallows in nutrient capture. An opposite trend was observed in the case of the planted fallows. A statistical classification of the fallows was proposed based on shrub phenological course over the two cycles monitored. Holo-epiphytes were almost absent in the youngest fallows, whereas hemi-epiphytes, which were mostly represented by aroids, were already substantially present shortly after abandonment. The species richness, density and biomass of both holoand hemi-epiphytes increased significantly from young fallows to old fallows and mature forests. The age effect was clearer for the hemi-epiphytes, suggesting that species turnover takes places in the ageing fallows. Using forest fallows as a source of shade-tolerant timber species may be a viable alternative to regenerating these species in mature forests.
