Field data have suggested that under P-deficient conditions, legumes supplied with phosphate rock (PR) increase P acquisition by a subsequent maize crop compared to direct application of PR to maize. This study assessed the mechanism of this positive rotational effect in terms of soil P availabil...

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...

Integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) involving a nitrogen-fixing grain legume, limited chemical fertilizer, and a resilient rice variety may reduce the rate of soil fertility loss and enhance rice productivity in fragile upland rice ecosystems. A 2-year, on-farm study was carried out at Eg...
Two varieties of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) and a maize (Zea mays L.) control crop were grown in replicated trials at 10 sites in the Guinea savana of Nigeria in 1993 followed by a test crop of maize in 1994 with 20 or 60 kg N ha-1 to test effect of soybean on subsequent maize grain yield. ...

Ces cultures ont ete suivies d'une culture-test de mais en 1994 avec 20 ou 60 kg N ha-1. L'augmentat...
