The climate of the West African Sudan savannah (annual rainfall of 600–900 mm and a monomodal rainy season of 3–4 months) is characterized by frequent long- and short-term droughts. Crop growth in the Alfisols and associated soil groups is further constrained by soil compaction, low soil fertilit...

Effects of hedgerow species on surface soil physical properties were studied in an on-going trial established since 1981 on an Oxic Paleustalf in southwestern Nigeria. The experimental treatments were Leucaena leucocephala, Gliricidia sepium, Alchornea cordifolia and Acioa barterii hedgerows plan...

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...
