Fallows improve soil fertility and allow sustainable agriculture. Soil fertility was assessed under different types of fallow through pH, nutrient concentrations and particulate organic matter (POM) quantity and quality. The two year-fallows were under Chromolaena odorata, Calliandra calothyrsus ...

Soil population densities of Helicotylenchus multicinctus (Cobb) Golden were assessed under
Flemingia macrophylla [(Willd.) Merrill] and Pueraria phaseoloides (Roxb.) Benth, and natural
bush fallows over 24 months in three villages in southern Cameroon. Also assessed was the effect
of H. multicin...

Maize was relay cropped with the cover crops Mucuna pruriens or Pueraria phaseoloides for
between one and seven consecutive years in three sites: Ngoungoumou, located in an area of low
land use intensity (LUI), about 100 km away from the next major market, and at Evendissi and
Andok, in a medium ...

The study determined the decomposition and nutrient release patterns of Pueraria phaseoloides, Flemingiamacrophylla and Chromolaena odorata leaf residues in young secondary forest and bush land use systems at Mfou, southern Cameroon. Residue mass loss after incubating fresh leaves for 120 days wa...

The yield of plantain (Musa spp., AAB Simmonds) declines sharply after 1–2 years of cropping in West and Central Africa, due mainly to weeds and nematodes. A trial was carried out from January 2002 to October 2005 under two land-use systems (LUS) comprising 4–5 year-old bush fallow, dominated by ...

The contribution of the cover crops Mucuna pruriens var. utilis and Pueraria phaseoloides to the N balance of a sole maize relay cropping system was estimated. Over 4 consecutive years, amounts of N in 8-9 months old aboveground M. pruriens, P. phaseoloides and natural fallow biomass and litter w...

We evaluated if cropping maize immediately after plantain is affected by the previous plantain systems and if tillage or N fertilizer would affect maize growth and grain yield and soil physical properties. The on-farm experiment was conducted at Mfou in the central Cameroon on a clayey, kaoliniti...

Information on the effects of soil physical properties on plantain yield is rare. A factorial trial was conducted in three southern Cameroonian villages comparing four cropping systems comprising: two planted legumes, (1) Flemingia macrophylla and (2) Pueraria phaseoloides; a crop, (3) hot pepper...
