Soil erosion is a serious problem in the forest-savanna transition zone or derived savanna of West Africa and Nigeria and needs to be reduced to maintain soil quality and to ensure food security. In 2007, the use of the fallout radionuclide 137Cs as a tracer for estimating the magnitude of medium...

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...

In Nigeria, West Africa, soil degradation has been one of the most critical environmental problems for along time. Hence, there has been and still is an urgent need to develop effective soil resource managementsystems that can reverse the trend. Sustaining soil productivity will enhance food secu...

The differential ability of genotypes of soybean (Glycine max) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) to thrive under low-phosphorus (P) conditions by utilising P from sources with low solubility was assessed in a greenhouse study with a low-P savanna soil collected from a research field in Fashola, sout...

Several legumes with high biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) potentials have been studied in on-station trials. The processes involved in BNF and the benefits of these species to crop production need to be evaluated using farmers' management practices in farmers' fields. An on-farm trial with 20 ...

The symbiotic performance of promiscuous soybeans depends upon the population size, effectiveness and survival of indigenous or introduced rhizobia in the field. A pot experiment was conducted using soils collected from 13 farmers' fields located in two agroecological zones (northen and southern ...
