La pratique de la jachere en afrique de l’ouest : Importance comparee du phenomene au Nigeria et au Cameroun [Fallow practices in West Africa: A comparative importance of phenomenon in Cameroon and Nigeria]
There is a clear need to understand the characteristics of fallow in order to seek appropriate alternatives. From a simultaneous study done in Cameroon and Nigeria, we assessed the specificity of fallow techniques in both countries and discovered that fallow practices remain important in traditional farming systems. Fallow is specifically applied in food crops and forest fields. There are less common in perennial fields and homegardens. Fallow practices remain the major land use technologies in Cameroon.
