We are seeking an alternative technique that can be applied to the existing slash-and-burn system with minimal changes and that has the potential of being used in tree cultures as well.

In addition to maximizing productivity, rebuilding long term soil fertility and ensuring the protection of environmental and natural resources should also be considered in soil fertility management.

These interacting factors must be understood, as judicious soil fertility management is of vital importance for sustaining food production in smallholder communities. The complexity of soil fertility management in smallholder farms calls for active participation of farmers and other stakeholders. The students acquire a thorough understanding of the main soil fertility constraints hampering sustainable agricultural production on tropical, weathered soils and is able to design affordable ways to counter them. The constraints include soil acidity, Al-toxicity, inadequate soil organic matter management and low intrinsic nutrient contents. "The many useful considerations about soil fertility dynamics in the tropics, several valuable and previously not widely distributed data sets, and the comprehensive data compilations make this volume an interesting supplement to any library on soil management in the tropics."

Maintaining the soil chemical fertility is a key prerequisite to sustain crop productivity in the tropics. Several studies perceive that soil fertility decline is widely spread in tropical regions and that it is caused inadequate nutrient replenishment and high losses as compared to natural ecosystems. In addition, farmers in the mountains practise a wide range of soil fertility management techniques, including crop rotation and mixed cropping, agro-forestry, and Conservation agriculture is an approach to farming which can sustainably Integrated Soil Fertility Management Options for Agricultural Intensification in the Tropical farming can only be sustainable if the primary rules of this natural system Sustainable Management of Soil Resources in the Humid Tropics Edited Rattan Lal Misuse of the soil and inappropriate agricultural systems are causing serious degradation of the humid tropical eco-region and perpetuating food shortages, malnutrition, and poor standards of living. 3.1 Five Broad Clusters of Forces Driving Tropical Deforestation and.

Spanning a range of rainfall regimes from the arid to the humid tropics, they present unique sustainability and environmental challenges to resource managers.
