Drawing on the personal experiences of Ben Raskin and Andy Dibben, both of whom have designed and managed agroforestry systems and have extensive experience in commercial horticultural crop production, this is the definitive book on the interaction between trees and crops, covering the benefits of trees for edible crops and the potential for additional crops from trees, plus crucial new information on how to fit trees into complex crop rotations as well as manipulating access to light. Ben and Andy also reveal the latest research on how tree roots behave and, importantly, how that impacts your crops. Agroforestry can bring immense benefits to farmers and growers - not just optimising yield, but also improving soil, managing pests and water, increasing biodiversity and reducing costs - but system design must be customised to each grower's requirements. This book offers step-by-step detail that will allow you to manage your trees and crops successfully.
