Growing soybean varieties with high residue yield may help to sustain the soil organic matter (SOM) content when recycled. Replicated field trials were conducted in four Guinea savanna sites in Nigeria to study the dry matter partitioning in six soybean genotypes and evaluate them for biomass pro...

Soybean maturity and environmental effects in savanna systems; I: dry matter accumulation
Intercropping cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and maize (Zea mays L.) can alleviate weed problems. The weeds which might otherwise build up before cassava covers the ground can be replaced by the cereal. The objective of this study was to determine effects of intercropping and fertilizer appli...

Effects of intercropping and fertilizer application on weed control and performance of cassava and maize
A field experiment was conducted on a Paleustalf to examine the effect of fertilizer application and the possible yield limiting factors in a cassava-maize intercropping system. Application of N-fertilizer significantly increased maize grain and cassava root yields as well as N, P and K concentra...
