The West African Semi-Arid Tropics (WASAT) is characterized by a monomodal rainfall pattern, and based on the amount of annual rainfall it can be divided into three ecologies: Sahel, Sudan and Northern Guinea savannahs. The major soil groups of the WASAT are Alfisols, Inceptisols and Entisols and...
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of growing a deep-rooting perennial on the root system development of a subsequent crop with low root penetrating ability. These effects were measured on a gravelly Alfisol with a compacted subsoil horizon for three tillage methods (zer...

The effect of no-tillage and mulch on soil properties and tuber yield of cassava was studied over a five year period on an infertile, acid Ultisol in south-eastern Nigeria. Mulch was applied at a rate of 12 t ha−1 as a split application once at planting and once six months after planting. No chem...

The effects of three seedbed preparation methods: mounds, minimum (handhoe) tillage and zero tillage; and two residue management methods: application of 4 Mg ha- ' of rice straw mulch and no mulch on soil physical properties and yield of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) were studied in a ri...
