Résumé
The physical limitations on productivity in an alley cropping system were studied in a 0.5-ha field experiment at ICRISAT, Patancheru, India. Leucaena leucocephala was planted in July 1985 in double rows to form hedges and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [P. americanum]) was grown in the alleys between the hedges in 1986 and 1987 rainy seasons. Data were collected on pearl millet growth and development, water relations, light interception, temp. and microclimatic variables.
