“…Defoliation might increase light levels reaching maize plants growing underneath shea trees. In addition, shea caterpillars produce frass, which has been shown to have a positive effect on soil pH (increased alkalinity), calcium (C) and nitrogen (N) content, but not on phosphorus (P) or potassium (K) (Coulibaly et al 2017); however, the impact of this soil enrichment on crops has not been quantified.…”
