This paper looks at the applicability of three management oriented simulation models that are being evaluated by the environmental Sciences Division at ILCA. Basically the three models (CERES-maize NITROSIM and SCUAF) have been designed to simulate crop growth and development and crop yields, as ...

Maize/Annual forage legumes mixed cropping systems: Characterizing water and Nitrogen dynamics in maize/vetch pure and mixed stands. II. Criteria for model selection and minimum data sets requirements for model use and verification
This document starts by describing the five main agroecological zones of sub-Saharan Africa, viz, arid, semi-arid, subhumid, humid, and highland, and summarising population and agricultural production. Then it goes to the main topics that includes inter cropping systems; criteria for evaluating t...

An alfalfa field experiment was conducted at the Debre Zeit Experiment station for a period of 2 years with the main objective of investigating the effects of cattle manure om dry matter yields, plant tissue nutrient concentration and plant nutrient uptake. Dry matter yields were significantly in...

This document reports on the results of two experiments which investigted the effects of manure on alfalfa and desmodium grown on an Ultisol at Soddo in Sidamo region. The experiments were conducted to determine the effects of cattle manure on dry matter yields and on nutrient uptake by alfalfa a...

The effects of Leucaena leucocephala and L. pallida prunings and cattle manure on maize nutrient uptake and yield were investigated in a hedgerow inter-cropping trial in the Ethiopian highlands. Hedgerow inter-cropping (also called alley cropping) is an agroforestry system in which trees are grow...
