Some methods for improving fodder by incorporating forage legumes in cereal cropping systems in the Nigerian sub-humid zone
Outlines the principles and practices of fodder-bank establishment and management in the sub-humid zones of West Africa. Summarises data that indicate the benefit of fodder banks to subsequent crops.
Root rot severely constrains bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in parts of Western Kenya. Genetic and soil management options were evaluated for an integrated root rot management approach. Four hundred genotypes were progressively screened in the field for resistance to root not over six se...

A gene that confers resistance to Pythium root rot in common bean: Genetic characterization and development of molecular markers
It has always been difficult to find forage legumes with the production characteristics that can help maximise animal performance, and that are also adapted to the alternating wet and dry seasons of the subhumid zone of africa. Among the characters in demand are drought tolerance, good herbage pr...

An experiment conducted to assess the nature of nutrient problems with a view to improving the performance of Verano stylo at the ILCA site (Kaduna). Shows the rates of nutrient application, composition and drymatter yields by varying nutrient additions and in two growing seasons. Also shows P an...
