Food security in West Africa not only depends on productivity increases in marginal rural areas, but also on enhanced use of intensively farmed agricultural “niche” lands such as the urban and peri-urban spaces. They are characterised by easy market access and input availability which allows self...
This study evaluated the response of four rain-fed lowland New Rice for Africa (NERICA) varieties (NERICA-L-12, NERICA-L-41, NERICA-L-42 and NERICA-L-56) and a popularly grown Oryza sativa (ITA 150) to nitrogen (0, 30, and 100 kg N ha-1). The interactions between nitrogen and variety were not sig...
Assessment and monitoring of soil resources is needed for ensuring environmental sustainability of rice production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy has the potential to offer means to evaluate and monitor soils at large scale in an efficient, affordable and timely man...
Application of biochar has been shown to increase soil fertility and enable soil carbon sequestration, indicating potential for agricultural and environmental benefits from using locally produced biochar on African smallholder farms. However, previous studies have been rather short-term and littl...
Plantain (Musa spp., AAB group) is a staple food crop in the humid forest regions of West and Central Africa. Its cultivation is threatened by black leaf streak (BLS), an air‐borne fungal leaf spot disease, caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. An on‐farm survey for BLS severity in relation...
Results of longterm fertility trials have been useful in identifying long-term nutrient needs and problems arising with continuous and intensive cropping on Alfisols. Available data have shown that high and sustained crop yields can be obtained with judicious and balanced NPK fertilization, combi...
