Mwebaze, S.[Biomass production of maize (Zea mays, L.) intercropped with selected forage legumes for food and feed in smallholder farming systems]Biomass production of maize (Zea mays, L.) intercropped with selected forage legumes for food and feed in smallholder farming systems

This paper analysed the baseline productive efficiencies of the cereal–legume farmers in the Sudan Savanna of Nigeria. The paper also investigated the factors that affected the technical efficiency of the sampled farmers. Baseline data collected on cereal-legume farmers who belong to four Innovat...

Integrated soil management with leguminous cover crops was studied at two sites in the northern Guinea savanna zone of northern Nigeria, Kaduna (190 day growing season) and Bauchi (150 days). One-year planted fallows of mucuna, lablab, and crotalaria were compared with natural grass fallow and co...

Field experiments were conducted over the period 1994–1996 to investigate the residual effect on rice of a wide range of temperate legume species, grown during the preceding winter season in a warm-temperate environment in Nepal. The incorporation of large quantities of above- and below-ground le...

Residual effects on rice]Productivity and residual effects of legumes in ricebased cropping systems in a warmtemperate environment II. Residual effects on rice

In 1987, the leguminous cover crop Mucuna pruriens var. utilis was introduced on researcher-managed demonstration fields for novel technologies. The objective was to ad-dress the serious soil-fertility decline on the Adja Plateau in southern Bénin. But farmers were more impressed by the ability o...

L'histoire du Mucuna a commencé en République du Bénin en 1987, lorsque le Mucunapruriens var. utilis a été introduit aux paysans du village de Zouzouvou sur le plateauAdja. Bien qu'au départ le Mucuna ait été présenté aux paysans pour restaurer la fertilitédes sols, ceux-ci ont été plus impressi...

The available world collection consisting of 257 accessions of the tropical pasture legume Centrosema brasilianum (L.) Benth. was assessed between 1993 and 1995 in northern Nigeria to complement existing knowledge on the genetic diversity of this species and to identify accessions with high agron...

The contribution of root and leaf litter to soil nitrogen dynamics, nitrogen uptake and balance was evaluated under cereal–legume rotations in a tropical moist savanna soil. Two legumes, soyabean (Glycine max) and stylo (Stylosanthes hamata), and maize (Zea mays) as a control were grown in four f...


Oikeh, S.Chude, V.Carsky, R.Weber, G.Horst, W.[Legume rotation in the moist tropical savanna: managing soil nitrogen dynamics and cereal yields in farmers' fields]Legume rotation in the moist tropical savanna: managing soil nitrogen dynamics and cereal yields in farmers' fields

The legume pod‐borer Maruca vitrata (Fabricius), [Lepidoptera: Pyralidae] is a major constraint restricting increased cowpea production in tropical Africa and Asia. Since lectins are known to have insecticidal properties against several pests, a survey was undertaken to screen for the effects of ...

As technologies to counter soil fertility decline, alley farming with Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium, annual short-season Mucuna pruriëns var. Utilis fallowing, and perennial Acacia auriculiformis fallowing have been tested. With alley farming, timely pruning is a critical element in...


Versteeg, M.Amadji, F.Eteka, A.Gogan, A.Koudokpon, V.[Farmers' adoptability of Mucuna fallowing and agroforestry technologies in the coastal savanna of Benin]Farmers' adoptability of Mucuna fallowing and agroforestry technologies in the coastal savanna of Benin

In order to identify for alley cropping new candidate species with high biomass and nitrogen-fixing potential, a screening study was conducted on ten woody and shrub legumes (Acacia auriculiJormis, Albizia lebbeck, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena diversifolia, L. leucocephala cv. K28 and cv. K636, Lo...
