摘要

Bush burning resulting from bush fires is a major environmental problem in many countries. Results of a survey carried out between 1998 and 2000 in Ghana showed that, incidence of burning was lower in the forest zone than in the forest-savanna- transition (transition) ecological zone. The lower incidence of burning in the forest was partly attributed to greater concern and involvement of farmers in combating bush fires. The farmers were concerned because they grew long duration crops (e.g. cocoa, cassava and plantain) that could be destroyed by fire. Farmers in the transition zone, on the other hand, were less concerned because they had relatively little to lose when the bush was burnt. In this zone, most of the farmers grew short season crops that were harvested before the bush fires started. It was observed that, fire could not spread through fields that were cultivated in the minor season preceding the harmattan to crops such as groundnuts, soybean and cowpea. This is because such fields did not have enough residues to support burning. In the minor season of 2000, a strip of cowpea measuring 5 m wide was a planted around 15 different mucuna (Mucuna pruriens van utilis) fields. The strips effectively served as fire barrier and protected the mucuna fields from burning.
