<p><em>Pepaya (Carica papaya L.) merupakan tanaman buah yang berpotensi sebagai sumber gizi dan struktur tajuknya memungkinkan untuk ditanami tanaman sela. Penanaman tanaman sela (alley cropping) adalah salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan produktivitas lahan. Tujuan penelitian mempelajari peningkatan produktivitas lahan pertanaman pepaya Sukma dengan tanaman sela beberapa jenis sayuran. Percobaan dilaksanakan di kebun Pusat Kajian Hortikultura Tropika (PKHT) Pasir kuda, Ciomas dan Laboratorium Pascapanen Departemen Agronomi dan Hortikultura, Fakultas Pertanian, Institut Pertanian Bogor, sejak bulan Februari – Juli 2016. Percobaan ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan jenis tanaman sayuran sebagai perlakuan. Perlakuan terdiri atas 4 macam tanaman sela dan 1 perlakuan kontrol. Tanaman sela yang digunakan adalah 1). Caisin, 2). Bayam, 3). Kangkung, dan 4). Basella alba. Pola tanaman sela dapat meningkatkan produktivitas lahan. Perlakuan tanaman sela Basella alba menghasilkan produksi sayuran yang tinggi. Perlakuan tanaman sela bayam menghasilkan bobot buah pepaya per petak yang tinggi sedangkan tanaman kangkung menghasilkan bobot per buah pepaya terendah. Perlakuan tanaman sela di antara tanaman pepaya tidak mempengaruhi pertumbuhan, mutu fisik dan mutu kimia buah pepaya.</em></p>

Perennial Legumes

Cropping among trees with perennial legumes is one option for increasing agro-ecosystem services, such as improving the nitrogen supply and increasing soil protection by herbaceous vegetation. Moreover, cropping under the canopy of olive trees should diversify the farm production, compared to the traditional fallow management. Among perennial legumes, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) produces abundant biomass under Mediterranean rainfed condition. Based on this, a two-year field experiment was implemented in southern Tuscany in a rainfed olive orchard to test the competition for light effects on alfalfa biomass production and nutritive value. Light availability under the tree canopy was measured by hemispherical photos. In both years, the alfalfa yield of under-canopy varied according to the tree presence. A significant relationship between biomass production and light availability was recorded. The nutritive value of under-canopy alfalfa was similar to that of the open-grown alfalfa. However, same significant differences did however occur, between shaded and sole crop. When differences were found, under-canopy herbage was characterised by a higher content of crude protein and a lower content of fibre with respect to open-grown. In a hilly silvoarable olive orchard, alfalfa biomass accumulation was reduced mainly due to scarce light availability, therefore tree management such as pruning and plantation layout can enhance the herbage productivity. Studying shade tolerant forage legumes in order to enhance the yield and nutritive value of herbage production in rainfed agroforestry systems is essential.

Nitrogen Levels

Productivity of maize and soil properties change under alley cropping system consisting of four woody species (Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala, Cajanus cajan and Senna siamea) at different nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of recommended rate) were studied in the floodplain ecosystem of Bangladesh. Comparative growth performance of four woody species after pruning showed that L. leucocephala attained the highest height, while C. cajan produced the maximum number of branches. Higher and almost similar amount of pruned materials (PM) were obtained from S. siamea, G. sepium and C. cajan species. In general, maize yield increased with the increase in N level irrespective of added PM. However, 100% N plus PM, 75% N plus PM and 100% N without PM (control) produced similar yields. The grain yield of maize obtained from G. sepium alley was 2.82, 4.13 and 5.81% higher over those of L. leucocephala, C. cajan and S. siamea, respectively. Across the alley, only one row of maize in the vicinity of the woody species was affected significantly. There was an increasing trend in soil properties in terms of organic C, total N and CEC in alley cropping treatments especially in G. sepium and L. leucocephala alleys compared to the initial and control soils. Therefore, one fourth chemical N fertilizer can be saved without significant yield loss in maize production in alley cropping system.
