Plant density and tiller cunts were done in several Sahelian rangelands in Mali, under a variety of soil, rainfall and grazing situations. Numeric models were developed to explain the dynamic relationship between grass tillering and herb density. Tests of application of these models to the plant ...

Discusses a practical non-destructive sampling procedure of experimental Napier grass populations (Pennisetum purpureum) which is determined by the number of stools per row of planted Napier grass, the number of tillers per stool and the number, height and thickness of each tiller, the latter bei...

As the problems of impact assessement are rather intractable, a fairly simple dual approach is proposed. First the major components of environmental impact of current agricultural production systems in Africa (i.e. impact of cropping, livestock keeping, fuelwood and timber extraction and burning)...

The impact of human endeavours on the environment in the struggle to eke out a living through crop and animal agriculture is examined in a holistic context. Analyses focus on all the sources of pressure that modify the vegetation cover of rural Africa, including the effects of fires and burning o...

In tropical Africa, the most common and most extensively evaluated Brachiaria species as cultivated pastures are B. brizantha, B. ruziziensis, B. decumbens, and B. mutica. In recent years, B. dictyoneura cv. Llanero, B. humidicola, and B. platynota have also received increased attention. The firs...

We begin by stressing that relevant and adequate information is an essential ingredient of efficient decision-making processes aimed at optimising the performance of livestock enterprises. Such decisions are universally made, so that though different approaches may be required, animal health and ...
