Forage and crop trials in the southern rangelands, 1985 and 1986
Farming practices in sub-Saharan Africa have resulted in declining soil fertility. Hence, Green Manure Cover Crops (GMCC) are promoted for soil improvement and protection. Adoption of GMCCs by farmers, including integration in their cropping systems, requires a good understanding of the multi-dim...

Towards a cropping system sustainability tool (CROSST) - Pilot results from evaluating green manure cover crops in Benin and Kenya
Recent rising demand for timber in Northern Mindanao, Philippines has driven smallholder farmers to plant fast-growing timber species, mostly Gmelina arborea, within their farms. The trees are commonly planted in portions of farms as block planting, along farm boundaries, or established along con...
