    Can vegetables be more productive under tree based systems?
    Mercado, Agustin R. Jr. (2008)
    This presentation discusses research on the potential of integrating tree crops into vegetable crop systems in Southeast Asia, working from the hypothesis that "in intensive vegetable production system in the uplands, monoculture systems are not sustainable, but integrating trees is feasible and offers better prospects." The economic viability of vegetable agroforestry systems can be improved by taking the recommended steps to decrease tree-vegetable competition, increase tree-vegetable complementarity, and use valuable trees.
  • Introduction of indigenous vegetables in the vegetable agroforestry (VAF) system in Lantapan watershed, Philippines
    Engle, Liwayway M.; Faustino, Flordeliza C.; Mercado, Agustin R. Jr. (2008)
    The collaborative project between AVRDC and TMPEGS-Philippines under the sponsorship of USAID-SANREM CRSP aims to introduce indigenous vegetable (Iv) germplasm to the agroforestry system in Lantapan watershed, identifying vegetable varieties suitable for cultivation with trees. Introduction of Ivs could enhance plant biodiversity in the area, leading to diversification of farmers' production systems and raising household incomes. Using different kinds of Ivs also could improve family nutrition.

  • Semi-annual reports: AVDRC organic farm
    Palada, Manuel C.; Luther, Gregory C.; Javier, E. C.; Srinivasan, R.; Engle, Liwayway M. (Greensboro, NC: North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, 2009)
    Executive Summary: Final field evaluation of vegetable species and varieties under agroforestry system continued at AVRDC Organic Farm. Five vegetables (Chinese cabbage, cucumber, eggplant, sweet pepper and tomato) were grown during the fall-winter season (October to December 2008) and winter-spring (January to March 2009) season. Vegetables were grown between tree hedgerows (alleys) and in control plots (no trees). Organic fertilizers (compost) were superimposed as sub-treatments. Varieties within vegetable species were compared in terms of growth and yield performance. Results from fall-winter cropping season have been summarized and presented in this report. The winter-spring trial is in progress and will be completed in April 2009.
