 In: Soil TechnologySummary: Se estudiaron los efectos de la cubierta foliar y de las asociaciones con leguminosas en el rendimiento, escorrentia y perdida de suelo en cultivos de maiz y yuca, utilizando parcelas de escorrentia en un Aridisol oxico de Molokai, Hawaii. El uso de leguminosas como cobertura del suelo redujo la escorrentia y la perdida de suelo en maiz. Se obtuvieron efectos beneficos similares de la asociacion de leguminosas con yuca. Ademas de proporcionar proteccion contra la escorrentia y la erosion, la asociacion con leguminosas tambien genera ganancias en rendimiento en los cultivos sucesivos, debido a la contribucion nutricional de sus residuos y al ingreso extra en el caso de mani. Los beneficios observados a corto y largo plazo indican que debe favorecerse la asociacion con leguminosas como estrategia para mantener la productividad y estabilidad de los sistemas de cultivo. (RA-CIAT)Summary: The effects of plant canopy and legume intercropping on the yield, runoff, and soil loss of maize and cassava were studied using runoff plots in an oxic Aridisol in Molokai, Hawaii. The use of legumes as ground covers reduced runoff and soil loss in maize. Similar beneficial effects were also gained from intercropping legumes with cassava. Besides providing protection against runoff and erosion, legume intercrops also induced yield gains in succeeding crops due to nutritional contributions from their residues and added income in the case of groundnut. The observed short- and long-term benefits indicate that legume intercropping should be favored as a strategy for sustaining the productivity and stability of cropping systems. (AS)
