Controlling soil erosion in smallholder potato farming systems using legume intercrops
Abstract
Soil and nutrient losses due to soil erosion are pronounced in potato growing areas of East Africa due largely to the rugged topography and high soil disturbance associated with potato cultivation. This study intercropped potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) with three grain legumes: lablab bean (Lablab purperous L.), garden pea (Pisum sativa L.) and climber bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in runoff plots and assessed their impact on soil and nutrient...
