The success of inland valley crop production in humid and subhumid areas of subSaharan Africa depends on the availability of appropriate crop varieties with some tolerance to excess moisture. Performance of upland crop associations [cassava (Manihot esculenta) + sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and...

Pod shattering in soybean is a major production constraint causing high field yield losses in the tropic and sub tropics. With regard to pod shattering, soybean varieties can be categorised as tolerant, intermediate or susceptible. Six soybean lines, Nam 2, TGx 1448-2E, Duiker, Nam 1, TGm 737P an...

Growing soybean varieties with high residue yield may help to sustain the soil organic matter (SOM) content when recycled. Replicated field trials were conducted in four Guinea savanna sites in Nigeria to study the dry matter partitioning in six soybean genotypes and evaluate them for biomass pro...

Shoot-tips 15cm long from 15 soybean cultivars and breeding lines were individually immersed in Hoagland's solution in 1 × 14 cm test tubes, and supported by cotton plugs. All leaves were removed leaving about 1 cm of each petiole on the shoot. A 4 mm mycelial plug of Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc., ta...

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 ...

The influence of soybean (Glycine max) planting date on seasonal epidemics of frogeye leaf spot caused by Cercospora sojina and on grain yield, was evaluated during the 1991 and 1992 cropping seasons. Two susceptible (Samsoy 1 and TGx 849-313D) and one resistant (TGx 996-26E) soybean cultivars we...

Phosphorus fertilizer was applied at two rates to four soyabean varieties of different duration to maturity at four sites. The P rate had no significant (p > 0.05) interaction with site or variety. TGx1670-1F, one of the two late varieties, had the highest levels of total P (11 kg/ha) and apparen...
