Associations between cacao (Theobroma cacao) and shade trees in Southern Bahia Brazil

Associations between cacao (Theobroma cacao) and shade trees in Southern Bahia Brazil

A review is made of the information on Theobroma - shade tree combination in the south of Bahía, Brazil. Following a description of the climatic characteristics of the area, the principal shade trees species are presented. Data on biomass production and nutrient cycling for the association of T. cacao - Erythrina spp. Are discussed. Practical inferences for the management of T. cacao plantations are deduced from the consideration of nutrient cycling models, and a newly recommended fertilization system is presented.
