Profitability analysis of commercial chemical and biological crop products among farm households in agroecological zones of West Africa
Where rapid urbanization is outpacing urban capacities to provide sound sanitation and wastewater treatment, most water sources in city vicinity are heavily polluted. This is of great concern as many of the leafy vegetables eaten raw in the cities are produced in these areas. Following the new WH...

Two crop rotation cycles were evaluated to determine the effect of cropping systems and N
fertilization on the yield and efficiency of N in maize. Maize was grown on plots which had previously
supported monocrops of two genotypes each of soybean (TGx 1448-2E and SAMSOY-2) and cowpea
(IT 96D-724 a...

In Nigeria, soil degradation has been one of t
he most critical environmental problems for a long
time.
Hence, there has been and still is an urgent need t
o develop effective soil resource management system
s
that can reverse the trend and sustain soil product

The effects of nitrogen (N) rate and weed interference on the grain yield of four corn genotypes were investigated in 2002
and 2003 at Ikenne (7u389N, 3u429E), Shika (11u119N, 7u389E), and Samaru (10u249N, 7u429E) in Nigeria. Nitrogen
(N) at 0, 30, 60, and 90 kg N ha21 were the main plot treatmen...

Historical and recent aerial photograph and satellite images were analysed to study the change of land use/land cover and soil degradation in different agroecological zones of Nigeria and Benin. The sites were characterized by an expansion of farmland at the expense of forest and shrub, fallow an...

Soybean can contribute to soil N, which may partly be used to improve maize production in northeast
Nigeria. However, the efficiency of soybean to fix N can be limited by soil P deficiency. This study
evaluated the effect of P application and soybean cultivars on dry matter and grain yield of sub...
