Dugje, I.Y.Onyibe, J.F.Ekeleme, F.Kamara, A.Y.Tegbaru, A.Omoigui, L.O.Bassi, S.A.[Guide to certified seeds production in Borno State, Nigeria]Guide to certified seeds production in Borno State, Nigeria

Field studies were conducted during the 2014 and 2015 wet seasons at Zaria in the northern Guinea savanna and at Iburu in the southern Guinea savanna of Nigeria to determine the productivity of maize– soybean intercropping system. There were four treatment combinations in the experiment: sole mai...


Kamara, A.Y.Tofa, A.I.Ademulegun, T.Solomon, R.Shehu, H.Kamai, N.Omoigui, L.O.[Maize-soybean intercropping for sustainable intensification of cereal-legume cropping systems in northern Nigeria]Maize-soybean intercropping for sustainable intensification of cereal-legume cropping systems in northern Nigeria

Field trials were conducted in 2005 and 2006 in Tilla (northern Guinea savanna) and Sabon-Gari (Sudan savanna) in northeast Nigeria to determine the performance of two improved cowpea varieties when relay-intercropped with early and late maize, 6 and 8 weeks after planting the maize. Grain yield,...


Kamara, A.Y.Omoigui, L.O.Ewansiha, S.U.Ekeleme, F.Chikoye, D.Ajeigbe, Hakeem A.[Performance of semideterminate and indeterminate cowpeas relaycropped into maize in Northeast Nigeria]Performance of semideterminate and indeterminate cowpeas relaycropped into maize in Northeast Nigeria

Parasitism of crop plants by Striga species is a major constraint in the savanna zones of West Africa. Farmers ranked Striga as a leading constraint during a livelihood analysis of 30 communities in northeast Nigeria. A field survey was conducted to ascertain the extent of infestation by Striga s...


Dugje, I.Y.Kamara, A.Omoigui, L.O.[Infestation of crop fields by Striga species in the savanna zones of northeast Nigeria]Infestation of crop fields by Striga species in the savanna zones of northeast Nigeria

The Guinea savannas of Nigeria have a high potential for the production of maize because of favorable environmental conditions. Despite this high potential, the yields obtained under farmers' conditions are still very low. Low soil fertility and intermittent drought are among major constraints li...


Kamara, A.Y.Menkir, A.Omoigui, L.O.Kureh, I.[Potential of drought-tolerant maize varieties in nitrogen-deficient soils of the Guinea savannas]Potential of drought-tolerant maize varieties in nitrogen-deficient soils of the Guinea savannas

Soybean can contribute to soil N, which may partly be used to improve maize production in northeast Nigeria. However, the efficiency of soybean to fix N can be limited by soil P deficiency. This study evaluated the effect of P application and soybean cultivars on dry matter and grain yield of sub...


Kamara, A.Y.Kwari, J.Ekeleme, F.Omoigui, L.O.Abaidoo, R.C.[Effect of phosphorus application and soybean cultivar on grain and dry matter yield of subsequent maize in the tropical savannas of north eastern Nigeria]Effect of phosphorus application and soybean cultivar on grain and dry matter yield of subsequent maize in the tropical savannas of north eastern Nigeria

Striga hermonthica is a parasitic weed that attacks maize, sorghum and other staple cereal crops and has long been considered one of the greatest biotic constraints to cereal production in Africa. Use of resistant or tolerant maize varieties, a maize–legume rotation using trap crops that stimulat...


Kamara, A.Y.Ellis-Jones, J.Amaza, P.Omoigui, L.O.Helsen, J.Dugje, I.Y.Kamai, N.Menkir, A.White, R.W.[A participatory approach to increasing productivity of maize through Striga hermonthica control in Northeast Nigeria]A participatory approach to increasing productivity of maize through Striga hermonthica control in Northeast Nigeria

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of farmers` crop management practices on Striga infestation and maize grain yield. Sixty farmers` fields were randomly selected in nine communities across three savanna zones. About 35% of the farmers had cultivated their fields for over 10 years,...


Dugje, I.Y.Kamara, A.Y.Omoigui, L.O.[Influence of farmers crop managemnt practices on Striga hermonthica infestation and grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in the savanna zones of northeast Nigeria]Influence of farmers crop managemnt practices on Striga hermonthica infestation and grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in the savanna zones of northeast Nigeria
