Maize was planted at two, three or four seeds per hole with uniform spacing and either the smallest plant (S) or the second largest plant (L) was thinned from each hole after 8 and 14 weeks from the four seed plots and after 14 weeks for the three seed plots. Two plants per hole were left to matu...

The effect of increasing planting density and thinning on forage and grain yield of maize in Kenyan smallholdings
Investigates the effect of cultivar and site of growing sorghum upon yield and composition of stover. Also studies the efects of pre-harvest leaf stripping and post-harvest storage.

Sorghum stover as ruminant feed in Ethiopia: Effect of cultivar, site of growth, pre-harvest leaf stripping and storage on yield and morphology
The adoption of `improved' sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes (i.e. drought tolerant, high grain-yielding and bird-resistant) by farmers in Ethiopia is low (Tilahun et al., 1992). Farmers prefer local, non-bird-resistant genotypes because their drought resistance and grain and stover...
