Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) has very great economic importance in Cameroon. In pot experiments, groundnut yields on highly acidified but limed soil were 50% greater than those on unlimed soil. These results demonstrate that severely acidified soils of the western highlands of Cameroon should be limed at moderate rates to sustain crop productivity.

Production possibility frontiers contribute much to an economic evaluation of yield advantages from intercropping. The difficulty with estimating a production frontier empirically from experimental data is one of ascertaining that the fitted curve corresponds with the frontier. This problem has been overcome by deriving the frontier from a priori knowledge of the biological processes that determine the outcome in intercropping. The hyperbolic relationship between biomass yield and plant density, and the parameters that characterize the degree of intra-and inter-specific competition in intercropping are used in this paper to derive production possibility frontiers. The method is illustrated with data from three intercropping studies. A brief review of the two main methods used by researchers to evaluate the results of intercropping, and their limitations, is also presented.
