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...

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 ...

Lack of crop yield response to planted tree fallow led to introducing a two-year fallow phase to
determine if planted tree fallow can improve soil fertility and yields over a no-tree control. Three
cycles of two years fallow followed by slash-and-burn land preparation and one year of groundnut
/c...

Biomass production and nutrient uptake of all components in planted Senna
spectabilis, Dactyladenia barteri and Flemingia macrophylla hedgerow fallow were
determined after three two-year fallow phases and compared to natural fallow. Total

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...
