๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | Advancing Sustainable Agroforestry in Agusan del Sur
Agroforestry systems play an important role in sustaining agricultural productivity while maintaining soil health and ecosystem resilience. However, the long-term sustainability of rubber-based agroforestry systems depends greatly on understanding how different crop combinations influence soil properties and nutrient conditions.
This study, โSoil Quality under Rubber-Based Agroforestry Systems in Agusan del Sur, Philippines,โ examined the effects of integrating different companion crops, particularly falcata, banana and cacao, within rubber-based agroforestry systems. The researchers assessed soil quality indicators to determine how these integrated farming approaches contribute to improving soil conditions and supporting sustainable land management practices.
Results revealed that incorporating complementary crops into rubber plantations can enhance soil quality and promote more sustainable agroforestry systems in Agusan del Sur. The findings provide valuable scientific evidence that may guide farmers, policymakers, and agricultural stakeholders in developing climate-resilient and environmentally responsible farming strategies.
