Junge, B.Abaidoo, R.C.Chikoye, D.Stahr, Karl[Soil conservation in Nigeria: past and present on station and on farm initiatives]Soil conservation in Nigeria: past and present on station and on farm initiatives

Spatial distribution of soil nutrients is not normally considered for smallholder farms in Ghana resulting in blanket fertilizer application which leads to low efficiencies of some applied nutrients. This study focuses on applying geospatial analyses to map 120 maize farms in 16 districts of the ...


Antwi, M.Duker, A.A.Fosu, M.Abaidoo, R.C.[Geospatial approach to study the spatial distribution of major soil nutrients in the Northern region of Ghana]Geospatial approach to study the spatial distribution of major soil nutrients in the Northern region of Ghana

Smallholder farmers in the Guinea savanna practise cereal-legume intercropping to mitigate risks of crop failure in mono-cropping. The productivity of cereal-legume intercrops could be influenced by the spatial arrangement of the intercrops and the soil fertility status. Knowledge on the effect o...


Kermah, M.Franke, A.C.Adjei-Nsiah, SamuelAhiabor, B.D.K.Abaidoo, R.C.Giller, Ken E.[Maize-grain legume intercropping for enhanced resource use efficiency and crop productivity in the Guinea savanna of northern Ghana]Maize-grain legume intercropping for enhanced resource use efficiency and crop productivity in the Guinea savanna of northern Ghana

Soybean is a relatively new crop to most African smallholder farming communities. Cultivation is expanding rapidly because of its perceived potential to enhance soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation and its source as food and cash. High N2, fixation in promiscuous soybean genotypes ...

Abaidoo, R.C.Sanginga, NteranyaOkogun, J.A.Kolawole, G.O.Tossah, B.K.Diels, J.[Genotypic variation of soybean for phosphorus use efficiency and their contribution of N and P to subsequent maize crops in three ecological zones of West Africa]Genotypic variation of soybean for phosphorus use efficiency and their contribution of N and P to subsequent maize crops in three ecological zones of West Africa

A field study of cowpea, soybean and maize was made at Ibadan, Nigeria, to determine the uptake of mineral nutrients and quantities removed in crop residues and seed. Concentrations of N, the major cations (K, Ca, Mg and Na) and major anions (P, S and Cl), and the micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and C...


Randall, P.J.Abaidoo, R.C.Hocking, P.J.Sanginga, Nteranya[Mineral nutrient uptake and removal by cowpea, soybean and maize in West Africa, and implications for carbon cycle effects on soil acidification]Mineral nutrient uptake and removal by cowpea, soybean and maize in West Africa, and implications for carbon cycle effects on soil acidification

Low concentrations of P and organic manure in savanna soils limit cowpea response to rhizobia. The study was conducted to determine the combined effect of P and organic manure on cowpea response to rhizobia in a factorial experiment arranged in randomized complete block design with three replicat...


Ulzen, J.Abaidoo, R.C.Ewusi-Mensah, N.Masso, C.[Combined application of inoculant, phosphorus and organic manure improves grain yield of cowpea]Combined application of inoculant, phosphorus and organic manure improves grain yield of cowpea

Soil nutrient constraints coupled with erratic rainfall have led to poor crop yields and occasionally to crop failure in sole cropping in the Guinea savanna of West Africa. We explored different maize-grain legume diversification and intensification options that can contribute to mitigating risks...


Kermah, M.Franke, A.C.Ahiabor, B.D.K.Adjei-Nsiah, SamuelAbaidoo, R.C.Giller, Ken E.[Legume-maize rotation or relay? Options for ecological intensification of smallholder farms in the Guinea Savanna of northern Ghana]Legume-maize rotation or relay? Options for ecological intensification of smallholder farms in the Guinea Savanna of northern Ghana

Background: The call for use of improved Soil Fertility Management (SFM) technologies is a prerequisite to increase agricultural productivity among farmers. This study assessed farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for selected financially rewarding biofertilizer technologies/packages for legume prod...


Banka, M.Aidoo, R.Abaidoo, R.C.Fialor, S.C.Masso, C.[Willingness to pay for biofertilizers among grain legume farmers in northern Ghana]Willingness to pay for biofertilizers among grain legume farmers in northern Ghana

Over the years, a scarcity of information on nutrient gains or losses has led to overemphasis being placed on crop yields and economic income as the direct benefits from fertilizer micro-dosing technology. There is increasing concern about the sustainability of this technology in smallholder Sahe...


Ibrahim, A.Abaidoo, R.C.Fatondji, D.Opoku, A.[Fertilizer micro-dosing increases crop yield in the Sahelian low-input cropping system: a success with a shadow]Fertilizer micro-dosing increases crop yield in the Sahelian low-input cropping system: a success with a shadow

Limited availability of soil organic amendments and unpredictable rainfall, decrease crop yields drastically in the Sahel. There is, therefore, a need to develop an improved technology for conserving soil moisture and enhancing crop yields in the Sahelian semi-arid environment. A 2-year field exp...


Ibrahim, A.Abaidoo, R.C.Fatondji, D.Opoku, A.[Integrated use of fertilizer micro-dosing and Acacia tumida mulching increases millet yield and water use efficiency in Sahelian semi-arid environment]Integrated use of fertilizer micro-dosing and Acacia tumida mulching increases millet yield and water use efficiency in Sahelian semi-arid environment
