Technology performance was evaluated by 71 (77%) of the 92 projects.
Unfortunately, 25 of these did not specify the variables assessed. Most of the
other projects reported monitoring the production aspect, i.e. component
yields (crops, fodder, tree products). The types and quantity of MPT products
depend to a great extent on the agroforestry technology design, and
particularly on tree management. For example, the woody and leafy
biomass yields of Leucaena hedgerows managed for fodder will be quite
different from those of Leucaena live fences managed for fuelwood production.
The yields of MPTs were therefore generally assessed in the technology
context, in contrast to other performance aspects of MPTs (survival, growth
