Crop response, tree biomass production and changes in soil fertility characteristics were monitored in a long-term (1986–2006) alley-cropping trial in Ibadan, Nigeria. The systems included two alley cropping systems with Leucaena leucocephala and Senna siamea on the one hand and a control (no-tre...

Appropriate management of organic resources is fully embedded in the Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) framework. ISFM aims at maximising the use efficiency of external inputs through the use of improved germplasm, well-managed fertiliser and organic inputs, and adaptation of any practi...

Factors affecting cowpea growth in millet/cowpea intercropping were investigated in northern Nigeria. Ecological studies showed that cowpea received from < 30% to > 75% of incident light inside the intercropped canopy. In these light-limited conditions, cowpea varieties with a spreading growth ha...

Exploratory survey have identified many constraints to maize production in the South Shaba region of Zaїre. These include maize streak disease, stalk bearing catapillars, low soil fertility, weed infestations, and irregular end-of- season rainfall. There is also a shortage of labour for land prep...

Cassava production in Uganda and western Kenya has been hit hard by the cassava mosaic disease (CMD) epidemic. In response, CMD resistant cassava varieties are currently released on a wide scale. The new varieties yield up to 3 times more than the local varieties. These high yield levels will put...

The IITA in its research for sustainable soil fertility management has passed through several stages during which legume-based systems were always at the forefront. Alley cropping has N yields of more than 200 kg ha-1 with 50% N2 fixation. In the case of Mucuna cover cropping, the ecological bene...
