Pressure on the land resources of the tropics and subtropics has increased as the numbers of people supported by the land have risen. The cultivation of uplands which are marginally suited to annual cropping has led to decreasing soil fertility and declining crop yields. Increased run-off from these lands has altered the hydrological characteristics of the watersheds, and the soil eroded represents the loss of irreplaceable resources. Continous monocropping leads to the development of intransigent problems of disease, pest or weed infestation. In the humid tropics plantation agriculture is vulnerable to world price fluctuations, and farmers dependent upon a single export commodity seek to diversify their operations. Tropical forages are playing an increasing role in the development of sustainable cropping systems, and a new technology of forage improvement has arisen. This book begins by outlining the objectives of the interaction between crops, pastures and animals. These may be directed primarily to the maintenance or repair of soil fertility, as reflected by the nitrogen accretion due to forage legumes, the organic matter status, attributes of soil structure, the control of erosion and the spatial transfer of nutrients. The integration of forages in cropping systems may also lead to more efficient utilization of environmental resources, as represented by energy flows, moisture conservation and crop protection, whilst the added flexibility of production can lead to diversification and stabilization of farm income. Principles for the management of various types of crop/forage systems are described. Pasture with tree crops may involve coconut, rubber, oil palm and fruit crops, representing developed land whose use may be intensified; or agroforestry in which timber and animal products are the outputs. Alley farming, in which shrub legumes are grown in conjunction with annual crops and are fed to livestock, has gained favour in some tropical regions as an innovative technology. The concept of ley pastures in rotation with annual crops requires revaluation, whilst the planting or regeneration of pastures after an annual cropping phase is widely practised. The integration of animals in annual cropping systems is favoured by companion or relay cropping with forage crop legumes, whilst the complementary use of crop and pasture lands is a feature of some systems where ruminants are used for draught as well as meat or milk. Environmental protection and the maintenance of agriculture require the wide adoption of forages in tropical cropping systems. This book outlines the science upon which this adoption may be based.

There is a growing global interest in consumption of yacon, Smallanthus sonchifolius (Poepp. & Endl.) H. Robinson (Asteraceae) roots, due to its medicinal and nutraceutical properties, prevention of metabolic and intestinal tract diseases besides the potencial for alternative sugar industry. There is also a growing interest in the production of yacon roots as a diversification option for family farming. Lack of information on the species? behavior, lack of local technological references and seedling availability are challenges that must be overcome. A pioneering
initiative was carried out on 2006 ? 2007, to start introducing and adapting commercial cultivation of yacon in the mountain region of Espirito Santo State, Brazil, municipality of Santa Maria de Jetibá, Afonso Cláudio and Domingos Martins, communities São Bento do Garrafão, Mata Fria and Tijuco Preto, respectively. The aim of this paper is to integrate and provide information about various aspects of that process; to demonstrate initial management practices adopted; describe historical process and to arouse interest in this nutraceutical food that can bring benefits to both farmers? families and consumers. |
