The use and integration of Inga edulis in agroforestry systems in the Amazon
Original language description
In Latin America this fast growing, acid-soil tolerant tree, which improves soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, is traditionally used to shade perennial crops such as coffee and cacao, provide firewood and charcoal, and produce a sweet pulp suitable for human consumption. I. edulis is also useful as a green manure with its high biomass production and helps control weeds and erosion, in alley cropping and other agroforestry systems. It has a great potential for restoring degraded soils as a part ofagroforestry system. The information about the physiology, the use by local farmers, the silvicultural management and integration into agroforestry systems were collected. The species is commonly used in a large variety of agroforestry systems, however,it is surprising that it is still not the object of any improved breeding program and scientific information about this species are still rather scarce.
