Mulch and irrigation effects on plant-water relations and performance of cassava cv. TMS 3001 and sweet potato cvs. TIS 2148 and TIS 2295 were investigated at Ibadan, Nigeria. Straw mulch @ 6 t/ha was spread immediately after planting of crops in September 1980. Irrigation equal to pan evaporatio...

A longterm experiment was conducted on Alfisols at Ibadan, Nigeria, to assess agricultural productivity and sustainability of different farming systems. The experiment, conducted for a 10 year period from 1979 to 1988, was implemented in two phases. The effects of methods of land clearing on crop...

The effect of constant and fluctuating soil temperature and two soil moisture regimes on the growth, development, transpiration and nutrient uptake by maize seedlings was studied in a greenhouse investigation. The constant root temperatures were maintained at 30, 34, 35, 36, 37, and 38°C for both...

The grain yields in the no-tillage plots were equivalent to those of conventionally plowed treatments. No-tillage treatments had higher organic matter content and, by controlling soil erosion, the silt and clay content than the plowed plots. The water holding capacity and moisture release charact...

Mulching of yam seed beds reduced soil temperature and improved emergence, time of emergence, yield per hill and the total yield of Dioscorea rotundata yams on a sandy soil in Western Nigeria. Comparison of mounds with ridged and flat seed beds showed that these different treatments had no signif...
