Information on the inter- and intra-specific variability in the acquisition and utilization of phosphorus (P) by promiscuous soybean genotypes under low-P conditions can be helpful in the short-term management of soil P availability. Thirteen promiscuous soybean genotypes were evaluated in a low-...

Aluminum is usually regarded as the determining factor for plant growth in acid soils and nutrient deficiencies are often additional growth-limiting factors in tropical acid soils. Taking into account the potential interactions between Al toxicity and nutrient deficiencies, the present study inve...

Three experiments with growing rats and two with pigs were carried out to evaluate a vitreous endosperm variety of high-lysine maize and to compare its nutritive value with that of a soft endosperm opaque-2 and a common maize. The results indicate that the vitreous endosperm variety has a signifi...

The integration of multipurpose legumes into low-input tropical agricultural systems is needed because they are a nitrogen (N) input through symbiotic fixation. The drought-tolerant cover legume canavalia (Canavalia brasiliensis) has been introduced for use either as forage or as a green manure i...

This study evaluated the performance of tree legumes and other soil fertility management innovations used by farmers. The objectives of the study were to: examine the extent that farm attributes, typology of farmers and field management practices have affected the adaptation and use of agroforest...

Low soil fertility is a fundamental constraint to crop production in western Kenya. Although researchers have developed many soil fertility-improving technologies, the adoption of these technologies is low due to inadequate awareness of the technologies, poor access to requisite resources and uns...

Maintenance of soil organic matter (SOM) at levels that sustain optimal supply of soil nutrients and enhance efficiency of externally added fertilizers is a major challenge for smallholder farming systems of southern Africa. A study was conducted to quantify the interactive effects of organic res...
