An outline is given of the progress made in a systematic breeding programme set up in Nigeria to develop improved cowpea cultivars with combined resistance to Striga gesnerioides and Alectra vogelii along with multiple disease and insect resistance. Several sources of resistance to both parasitic...

Live mulch is a crop production technique in which a food crop is planted directly in a living cover of an established cover crop without tillage or destruction of the fallow vegetation. The effect of several established legume covers on weed competition, fertilizer requirement and yield of maize...

The persistence of Mucuna biomass was observed in three sites in the Benin Republic during the dry season of 1997-98. At Parakou, in the southern Guinea savanna agroecological zone of northern Benin, Mucuna dry matter (DM) decreased at a rate of approximately 0.2t/ha/month. At the onset of the ne...

Two parasitic flowering plants, Striga gesnerioides (Wild.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii (Benth.), cause substantial yield reduction in cowpea in the dry savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. Alectra is more prevalent in the northern Guinea savanna and southern Sudan savanna of West Africa, as well as in ...

The influence of weeds community composition and dynamics on groundnuts intercropped with cassava was assessed in three different short fallow management systems, in the Forest Margins Benchmark Area of southern Cameroon (Central Africa). Fallow management intensities, indicated through differi...
