Plantain (Musa spp. AAB genome) is an important staple of the humid zoneof West and Central Africa. Root nematodes, specifically Radopholus similis, alongwith other pests and diseases are a major cause of yield loss. Farmers are unawareof the presence, symptoms and effects of nematodes. No common...

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 ...

We aimed to quantify the relative impact of slashing, mulching, burning and cropping on surface casting by earthworms and whether effects were due to treatments per-se or to the changes in soil temperature and water content they may induce. Surface cast production was monitored during two maize c...
