Abstract
Cunningham and Lamb1 have recently described an experiment in Ghana which demonstrated the response of cacao to fertilizers both with and without shade. These results serve to confirm more intensive studies, made at the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture in recent years, which have resulted in the development of a general theory of the interaction of shade and nutrition in the growth and cropping of young cacao.
