Taylor-Powell, E.Kaufmann, Ralph R. von[Producer participation in livestock systems research: Experience with on farm research among settled Fulani agropastoralists in central Nigeria]Producer participation in livestock systems research: Experience with on farm research among settled Fulani agropastoralists in central Nigeria

Three papers are reviewed in this paper. The first paper presents a model of biological processes to investigate long-term effects of soil and crop long-erm effects of soil and crop management strategies while the other two papers present approaches to study crop production strategies at the ente...


Fernández Rivera, S.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Kaufmann, Ralph R. vonTurner, M.Williams, Timothy O.[Response to case studies of eco-regional approaches at the farm/enterprise level]Response to case studies of eco-regional approaches at the farm/enterprise level

Discusses the rest period requirements and the role of stylosanthes in cereal cropping systems in the Nigerian subhumid zone. Presents results of two trials, viz, N application on maize grain yield after natural fallow, and changes in soil physical properties after diffrent land use.

Constraints do not only occur in production systems. They also limit the support available from research and extension and they have serious consequences for human welfare in Africa and for the whole community of nations. The agricultural research agendas in sub-Saharan Africa are indicating more...
