In southern Africa the repeated cultivation of maize (Zea mays) and climate variability (especially frequent and extended droughts) have created conditions favouring parasitic weed infestation (e.g., Striga asiatica). In the past decade, Striga has reduced maize yields for smallholder farmers (cu...
Weed abundance in cereal-based systems has increased in recent years across sub-Saharan Africa for smallholder farmers (cultivating less than two hectares). Smallholders can employ numerous practices to control weeds such as intercropping cereal crops with legumes. We conducted a review to identi...
Adoption rates of leguminous crops remain low in sub-Saharan Africa despite their potential role in improving nutrition, soil health, and food security. In this study we explored Malawian farmers’ perceptions of various legume attributes and assessed how these perceptions affected allocation of l...
Banana leaf pruning is a common practice to facilitate intercropping with legumes on farmers’ fields. It is however not clear if this practice improves farmers land-use and economic efficiency, especially after full canopy formation. To analyze pruning effects, three legumes viz. bush bean (Phase...
Two resistance screening assays were developed for evaluating cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp resistance to the legume pod borer (MPB), Maruca testulalis Geyer, one of the most intractable pest problems of this important food crop. The first assay, the dual-choice arena test (DCAT), provided a...
Many virus diseases of plants and probably all diseases caused by mycoplasma-like organisms (MLOs) are transmitted by insect vectors. In this review the vector insect groups of viruses and MLOs on tropical food legumes are discussed. An overview is given quoting examples of the relations between ...
