Groundnut production in northeast Nigeria is constrained by low level of soil phosphorus. This study evaluated four groundnut varieties for their response to P fertilization in two Nigerian agro-ecological zones (Sudan and Northern Guinea savanna) during 2005 and 2006. The experimental design was...

Inoculation of soybean with Bradyrhizobium spp. can increase soybean yield especially on fields with no recent history of soybean production. However, yields of inoculated soybean may be constrained in P deficient soils. The objective of this study was to evaluate the responses of two soybean cul...

Soil conservation has a long tradition in West Africa and various on-farm and off-farm soil conservation technologies already exist. An extensive literature review has shown that mulching, crop management and conservation tillage are adequate measures for combating soil degradative processes such...

Cowpea is an important food legume and versatile crop in the savannas of northeast Nigeria. Despite the high potential for production in this region, insect pests are a major constraint. A study was conducted to evaluate the response of diverse cowpea genotypes to different schedules of spraying ...

A long-term trial was established in 1998. The objectives among others were to assess the impact of nitrogen, natural bush fallow, and legume−maize rotations on weed growth and species composition in the forest/savanna transition zone (Ibadan) and northern Guinea savanna (Zaria) in Nigeria. At bo...
