Description
Summary: Several GRSU germplasm accessions from Vietnam, Thailand and Philippines have been evaluated in vegetable agroforestry systems (VAF) in Mindanao. VAF with suitable trees and vegetables has been shown to improves farm productivity and increases farmer income by 20-100% compared to non-VAF systems. (extracted from article)
