Cultural and biological control measures have failed to provide satisfactory management of Striga gesnerioides, a major biotic constraint to cowpea production in sub-Saharan Africa. Field trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of imazaquin seed treatment (at 0.00, 0.06, and 0.24 kg a.i. h...

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 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...

The effects of nitrogen (N) rate and weed interference on the grain yield of four corn genotypes were investigated in 2002
and 2003 at Ikenne (7u389N, 3u429E), Shika (11u119N, 7u389E), and Samaru (10u249N, 7u429E) in Nigeria. Nitrogen
(N) at 0, 30, 60, and 90 kg N ha21 were the main plot treatmen...
