Cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. is an important component in mixed cropping systems that are appropriate to the agro-ecological characteristics of the West African savannah. However, the contribution of cowpea to overall productivity of the systems is reduced by a number of insect pest specie...


Adati, T.Tamò, M.Yusuf, S.R.Downham, M.C.A.Singh, B.B.Hammond, W.[Integrated pest management for cowpea cereal cropping systems in the West African savannah]Integrated pest management for cowpea cereal cropping systems in the West African savannah

Research to identify appropriate means of sustaining tropical soil productivity has intensified during the last 2 decades and promising technologies such as minimum tillage, herbaceous and tree based systems, and improved fallows have been identified. This paper discusses the contribution of soil...


Sanginga, N.Mulongoy, K.Swift, M.[Contribution of soil organisms to the sustainability and productivity cropping systems in the tropics]Contribution of soil organisms to the sustainability and productivity cropping systems in the tropics

Most upland soils in humid and sub-humid tropical Africa are characterized by low inherent fertility and are also susceptible to soil erosion and compaction with cultivation. Based on simulation model, this study uses a capital budgeting approach to determine the profitability of alternative land...

Competition for nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) under potato-based intercropping systems decreases the level of nutrients available for potato and subsequently influences nitrogen and phosphorous use efficiency. A field trial was conducted for four consecutive seasons between 2014 short rains an...

Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a tuber crop grown for food security, income generation, and traditional medicine. This crop has a high cultural value for some of the groups growing it. Most of the production comes from West Africa where the increased demand has been covered by enlarging cultivated surfa...

In recent years, increasing water and labor scarcity & production cost, decreasing farm profitability and climatechange- induced variability are major challenges faced by the farmers of Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) in South Asia. Conservation agriculture (CA) based best-bet crop management practice...
