Integrated soil management with grain legumes was studied at two villages (Ugwan Shamaki) and Tashan Kaya) in Kaduna State, northern Guinea Savanna zone of Nigeria (190 day growing season). Impacts of one year rotation of Soybean and Cowpea on soil chemical properties were compared with sole maiz...

The Guinea savannas of Nigeria have a high potential for the production of maize because of favourable environmental conditions. Despite this high potential, the yields obtained in farmers' fields are still very low. This is due to soil degradation and nutrient depletion arising from intensificat...

The Borana rangelands occur in a semi-arid area in southern Ethiopia, characterized by extensive livestock production. The area is a valuable source of livestock that generates income and livelihoods for large numbers of rural dwellers, and export earnings for Ethiopia's fragile economy. Desp...

This study investigated the inheritance of resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. tracheiphilum (Fot) in cowpea lines. Resistant and susceptible cowpea lines were crossed to develop F1, F2 and backcross populations. Reaction to Fot was evaluated in 2015 and 2016 using seed soak and modified root‐...

Field trials were carried out in the Sudan Savannah of Nigeria to assess the usefulness of CERES–maize crop model as a decision support tool for optimizing maize production through manipulation of plant dates. The calibration experiments comprised of 20 maize varieties planted during the dry and ...

A study was conducted in Kano and Bauchi States in the dry Savanna of northern Nigeria to determine Striga incidence and infestation and relate these to soil fertility status and yield of maize. A three-stage sampling technique was used to select communities and fields in targeted Local Governmen...

populations were the main plots, whereas varieties were subplots. The proportion of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (IPAR) and leaf area index (LAI) increased with increasing plant population at both locations, indicating that high leaf area indices and high degree of canopy closu...

The parasitic flowering plants Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelii (Benth.) are formidable cowpea production constraints in the West and Central African savanna. The two parasites cause substantial yield reduction in cowpea in the dry savannas. A field study was conducted to sc...

High seed quality is a critical component for realising yield potential. For smallholder cowpea farmers in northern Nigeria the informal seed system is a major supplier of genetically high-quality seed, but the physiological quality of farmers’ produced seed remains unknown. The project “Promotin...
