Stratifying a broad target growing area of a crop into different ecological zones has been an important first step in plant breeding. To cater for the diverse maize growing environments in West and Central Africa, germplasm development and testing at IITA have been targeted to four agroecological...
Lepidopterous stem borers were monitored on plots of maize, Zea mays, and elephant grass, Pennisetum purpureum (Moench), during two consecutive cropping seasons and the off-season at two forest margin locations, Nkolbisson and Minkomeyos, in Cameroon. Busseola fusca (Fuller), Sesamia calamistis (...
There are abundant local legume trees and shrubs potentially suitable for alley cropping systems in the sub-Saharan Africa, which are yet to be studied. The nitrogen contribution of two years old Albizia lebbeck and S. corymbosato yield of maize grown in alley cropping was compared to that of Sen...
A field trial was conducted on two P sorptive, basaltic soils commonly used for maize production in Northwestern Cameroon. The objective was to determine the maintenance P rates required for adequate P supply in the soils for maize after initial capital dressing applications of P (0, 22, 44, 88 a...
RUSEP is the latest attempt by the federal government of Nigeria to alleviate poverty through the transfer of market-driven agricultural technology to farmers and the commercialization of agriculture in selected states in Nigeria. Through this project, employment will be generated through enhance...
The spatial distribution of Mussidia nigrivenella Ragonot was studied in maize fields and on four major wild host plants in the Republic of Benin, West Africa. Maize ears were sampled at harvest in 1994 and 1995, and fruits of the wild host plants were collected monthly from January 1996 to Decem...
In many countries in West Africa, the pyralid ear borer Mussidia nigrivenella Ragonot occasionally causes severe damage to pre- and postharvest maize. Between 1992 and 1995, the distribution of and damage caused by M. nigrivenella were studied in Benin using survey data and an on-station field ex...
The ear borer Mussidia nigrivenella Ragonot is a polyphagous insect pest that feeds on various cultivated and wild plants. Surveys in four agro-ecological zones of Benin, conducted between 1993 and 1997, revealed ≈20 plant species from 11 plant families hosting the borer, but only 13 host plants ...
