Smallholder farmers in the Guinea savanna practise cereal-legume intercropping to mitigate risks of crop failure in mono-cropping. The productivity of cereal-legume intercrops could be influenced by the spatial arrangement of the intercrops and the soil fertility status. Knowledge on the effect o...


Kermah, M.Franke, A.C.Adjei-Nsiah, SamuelAhiabor, B.D.K.Abaidoo, R.C.Giller, Ken E.[Maize-grain legume intercropping for enhanced resource use efficiency and crop productivity in the Guinea savanna of northern Ghana]Maize-grain legume intercropping for enhanced resource use efficiency and crop productivity in the Guinea savanna of northern Ghana

Soil nutrient constraints coupled with erratic rainfall have led to poor crop yields and occasionally to crop failure in sole cropping in the Guinea savanna of West Africa. We explored different maize-grain legume diversification and intensification options that can contribute to mitigating risks...


Kermah, M.Franke, A.C.Ahiabor, B.D.K.Adjei-Nsiah, SamuelAbaidoo, R.C.Giller, Ken E.[Legume-maize rotation or relay? Options for ecological intensification of smallholder farms in the Guinea Savanna of northern Ghana]Legume-maize rotation or relay? Options for ecological intensification of smallholder farms in the Guinea Savanna of northern Ghana

Soybean yields could benefit from the use of improved varieties, phosphate-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants. In this study, we evaluated the results of widespread testing of promiscuous soybean varieties with four treatments: no inputs (control); SSP fertilizer (P); inoculants (I) and SSP plus...


Ronner, E.Franke, A.C.Vanlauwe, BernardDianda, M.Edeh, E.Ukem, B.Bala, A.Heerwaarden, Joost vanGiller, Ken E.[Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers' fields in northern Nigeria]Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers' fields in northern Nigeria

Grain legumes play a key role in smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), in relation to food and nutrition security and income generation. Moreover, because of their N2-fixation capacity, such legumes can also have a positive influence on soil fertility. Notwithstanding many deca...


Vanlauwe, BernardHungria, M.Kanampiu, F.Giller, Ken E.[The role of legumes in the sustainable intensification of African smallholder agriculture: lessons learnt and challenges for the future]The role of legumes in the sustainable intensification of African smallholder agriculture: lessons learnt and challenges for the future

Improving bacterial nitrogen fixation in grain legumes is central to sustainable intensification of agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. In the case of soyabean, two main approaches have been pursued: first, promiscuous varieties were developed to form effective symbiosis with locally abundant nitr...


Heerwaarden, Joost vanBaijukya, Frederick P.Kyei-Boahen, S.Adjei-Nsiah, SamuelEbanyat, PeterKamai, N.Woldemeskel, EndalkachewKanampiu, F.Vanlauwe, BernardGiller, Ken E.[Soyabean response to rhizobium inoculation across sub-Saharan Africa: Patterns of variation and the role of promiscuity]Soyabean response to rhizobium inoculation across sub-Saharan Africa: Patterns of variation and the role of promiscuity
