Saltbush alley cropping effects on crop and livestock production on‐farm in the dry areas of northern Syria
Low and erratic rainfall, overgrazed rangelands, and declining soil productivity due to continuous cereal cropping and extension of cropping into marginal lands threaten livelihoods of smallholder agro‐pastoral farmer in dry areas of Central and West Asia and North Africa.Saltbush ( A trip lex spp.) alley cropping (SBAC) has potential to improve crop and livestock outputs and conserve the environment (Shideed et al 2005), but farmer adoption of the technology is low partly due to limited participatory evaluation of the technology with farmers.This aimed at comparing crop and livestock production under SBAC and continuous barley (CBC) cropping systems, and document farmers.perception on the technology.
