Performance of commonly grown agroforestry woody species was assessed at two locations in southern Nigeria, on an Alfisol (Oxic Paleustalf) at Ibadan in the forest-savanna transition zone and on an Ultisol (Typic Paleudult) at Onne in the forest zone, with annual rainfall of 1280 and 2400 mm resp...

Effects of application of prunings of three woody species (Acioa barteri, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala), maize (Zea mays L.) stover and rice (Oryza sativa L.) straw as mulch on maize were studied on an Alfisol in southern Nigeria in 1990 and 1991. Maize dry matter and grain yield w...

Effects of application of five types of plant residues [Acioa barteri, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala prunings, maize (Zea mays) stover and rice (Oryza sativa) straw] as mulch on soil fauna were examined under field conditions in the humid tropics in 1990 and 1991. Earthworm mean pop...

The IBSNAT (Internal Benchmark Sites Network for Agrotechnology Transfer) CERES-Maize model, which stimulates a sole crop of maize, was tested during the 1990 and 1991 growing seasons at Ibadan in southwestern Nigeria. The maize model is designed to simulate plant physiological processes (nutrien...

An equation was developed for calculating a plant residue quality index (PRQI) in the (sub-)humid tropics using the C/N ratio and lignin and polyphenol concentration of plant residues. Among 18 plant species tested, there was a large variation in PRQI. The PRQI was correlated with the decompositi...

Phytotoxic effects ofGliricidia prunings were tested on maize seedlings in the laboratory and on maize and cowpea seedlings in the field. In the laboratory test, growth of maize seedlings was significantly depressed by addition of leachate ofGliricidia prunings. In the field, leaf, chlorosis of m...

Nitrogen, Ca and Mg release from leaves of ten selected plant residues with varying chemical compositions was studied under laboratory conditions. Three patterns of N-release were observed over a seven week incubation period: (a)Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala, Mucuna pruriens andCentros...

Most upland soils in humid and sub-humid tropical Africa are characterized by low inherent fertility and are also susceptible to soil erosion and compaction with cultivation. Based on simulation model, this study uses a capital budgeting approach to determine the profitability of alternative land...

The effects of five agroforestry woody species (Dactyladenia barteri, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala, Senna siamea andTreculia africana) on the surface aasting activity ofHyperiodrilus africanus were studied in an Alfisol (Oxic Paleustalf) in southwestern Nigeria. Casting activity under...
