INFORMATION REQUEST
I am researching various uses of cowpeas and bananas (not
necessarily in
the same system) in indigenous, sustainable, small-scale cropping
systems.
I have come across examples of both, such as cowpeas used in upland
rice
production, cowpeas intercropped with cereals, tied ridges, cover
crops, etc.
However, most of the material that I am finding is about research
conducted on-site at the major research stations. If you can suggest
other sustainable uses of these two crops
that you have seen in practice (other than those mentioed about) I
am very
interested in hearing about them.
The purpose of this information is that it will be included
in a series
of fact sheets that are being produced by the Rodale Institute. The
sheets will
include basic information about each crop, as well as examples of
various uses.
Please send comments to me:
