A study was conducted in Kano and Bauchi States in the dry Savanna of northern Nigeria to determine Striga incidence and infestation and relate these to soil fertility status and yield of maize. A three-stage sampling technique was used to select communities and fields in targeted Local Governmen...


Ekeleme, F.Jibrin, J. M.Kamara, A.Y.Oluoch, M.Samndi, A.M.Fagge, A. A.[Assessment of the relationship between soil properties, Striga hermonthica infestation and the on-farm yields of maize in the dry Savannas of Nigeria]Assessment of the relationship between soil properties, Striga hermonthica infestation and the on-farm yields of maize in the dry Savannas of Nigeria

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...


Kamara, A.Y.Kwari, J.Ekeleme, F.Omoigui, L.O.Abaidoo, R.C.[Effect of phosphorus application and soybean cultivar on grain and dry matter yield of subsequent maize in the tropical savannas of north eastern Nigeria]Effect of phosphorus application and soybean cultivar on grain and dry matter yield of subsequent maize in the tropical savannas of north eastern Nigeria

Weeds are a major constraint to crop production in smallholder farms in tropical Africa. The weed seedbank and annual recruitment are the main sources of weed infestation in crops. This study was carried out in Ibadan, Nigeria, to evaluate the effect on the seedbank of two types of planted fallow...


Ekeleme, F.Akobundu, I.O.Isichei, A.O.Chikoye, D.[Cover crops reduce weed seedbanks in maizecassava systems in southwestern Nigeria]Cover crops reduce weed seedbanks in maizecassava systems in southwestern Nigeria

Knowledge of magnitude and timing of weed seedling flushes is crucial in managing weeds adequately. Such knowledge is especially important for small-scale farmers in West Africa who spend a greater percentage of family labour in controlling weeds. This study assessed the composition, pattern and ...


Ekeleme, F.Chikoye, D.Akobundu, I.O.[Impact of natural, planted (Pueraria phaseoloides, Leucaena leucocephala) fallow and landuse intensity on weed seedling emergence pattern and density in cassava intercropped with maize]Impact of natural, planted (Pueraria phaseoloides, Leucaena leucocephala) fallow and landuse intensity on weed seedling emergence pattern and density in cassava intercropped with maize

Genetic improvement of maize hybrids for superior stress tolerance has contributed to increased yield by allowing hybrids to be planted at higher plant populations. This study was conducted to evaluate the response of maize hybrids developed in the Nigerian Savanna from different eras to high pla...


Kamara, A.Menkir, A.Kureh, I.Omoigui, L.Ekeleme, F.[Performance of old and new maize hybrids at high plant densities in the tropical Guinea Savanna]Performance of old and new maize hybrids at high plant densities in the tropical Guinea Savanna
