Africa may be broadly characterized into five ecological zones; Arid, semi-arid, sub-humid, humid and highland. Each zone has characteristic socio-economic systems which are reflected in the livestock husbandry. The socio-economic systems of the arid zones have to be highly mobile and able to cop...

In the subhumid zone of Nigeria S. guianensis cv Cook, S. Guianensis cv Schofield and S. hamata cv Verano produced low dry matter yields. The role of P in limiting yields was investigated in a field experiment at Kurmin Biri, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Four levels of P<sub>2O<sub>5, zero, 40, 80 an...

Grazing reserves in Nigeria are areas set aside for the use of pastoralists and are intended to be the foci of livestock development. The stated purpose of grazing reserves is the settlement of nomadic pastoralists they offer security of tenure as an inducement to sedentarization through the prov...

Deals with the implications of the constraints imposed on achievement of research goals by the impositions of the research and farming systems as they interact in a research programme drawing examples from the experience of the ILCA Subhumid Zone Programme presents the estimated net present value...


Kaufmann, Ralph R. von[Matching the impositions of the farming and research systems as a prelude to farming systems research]Matching the impositions of the farming and research systems as a prelude to farming systems research

This study arose from the need to develop strategies that optimize the use of available feed resources from natural range fallow and crop residues in combination with the fodder bank innovation. The paper discusses the interactive effects of feeding both forage legume and urea molasses supplement...

Discusses some methods of growing cereal Crops in association with Stylosanthes in traditional Crop-livestock production systems in the subhumid zone of Nigeria. Examines effects of undersowing Stylo on sorghum yield and total fodder; land preparation on grain & fodder production; land history on...

Taylor-Powell, E.Kaufmann, Ralph R. von[Producer participation in livestock systems research: Experience with on farm research among settled Fulani agropastoralists in central Nigeria]Producer participation in livestock systems research: Experience with on farm research among settled Fulani agropastoralists in central Nigeria

Three papers are reviewed in this paper. The first paper presents a model of biological processes to investigate long-term effects of soil and crop long-erm effects of soil and crop management strategies while the other two papers present approaches to study crop production strategies at the ente...


Fernández Rivera, S.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Kaufmann, Ralph R. vonTurner, M.Williams, Timothy O.[Response to case studies of eco-regional approaches at the farm/enterprise level]Response to case studies of eco-regional approaches at the farm/enterprise level

Discusses the rest period requirements and the role of stylosanthes in cereal cropping systems in the Nigerian subhumid zone. Presents results of two trials, viz, N application on maize grain yield after natural fallow, and changes in soil physical properties after diffrent land use.
