Effect of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. and Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp. on soil fertility parameters Objective: Agroforestry is one of the techniques to mitigate the negative effects of land degradation. This study aims to assess the agroforestry potential of two species of legumes Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. and Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp., promoted in agroforestry. Methodology and Results: For this, the physico-chemical and biological parameters of the soils under the crown and outside the crown of Albizia lebbeck and Gliricidia sepium were characterized. Comparison of means tests, repeated measures ANOVA and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to compare the soils under crown and outside the crown of the two species. The results show that Albizia lebbeck and Gliricidia sepium had a positive effect on microbial biomass, respiratory activity and soil spores’ density (P <0.05). Albizia lebbeck and Gliricidia sepium also induced an improvement in the physico-chemical parameters of soils under crowns. Kabore et al., J. Appl. Biosci. 2020 Effet de Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. et Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth ex Walp. sur les paramètres de fertilité du sol Conclusion and application of results :These results allow to conclude that the use of the two woody species in association with the cultures guarantees a sustainable use of soils. These results can be used to improve crop production in agroforestry.
