An applied example
Application of this technique can best be illustrated by a practical example.
The example presented here models one cycle of a two species system,
banana (Musa spp.) and cassava (Manihot spp.) intercropped in a one
hectare area. In this agroforestry system, these two crops are evenly spaced
in such a way as to minimize spatial interference. This model simulates crops
grown in alfisol, 1.5 meters of annual evenly distributed rainfall with site
characteristics common to the region around Itabuna, Bahia, Brazil.
