Objective:
The objective of this research is to quantify effect and calculate the potential of F.albida trees on the yield level of maize under dryland agriculture. The research hypotheses are: F.albida consistently increases maize yields under dry land agriculture, F.albida improves chemical and biological soil quality and is efficient pumping up of nutrients that have leached to deeper soil layers.
