Biographical / Historical
In the 1990s, an experiment was conducted in Haiti in an attempt to figure out what would be the best way to farm hedgerows and alley cropping, specifically through the processes of pruning and the usage of Nitrogen-heavy trees, in an attempt to give more nutrients to the plants and soil around them. After the realization that some maize fields were growing better than others, this experiment was conducted to find the methodology behind this difference(s) in the crops. This change was originally documented to take place over the course of at least 4 years, so to properly perform this experiment would likely take longer (which it did).
