Investigates Nitrogen and Phosphorus transfers in a crop - livestock system in the subhumid zone of Nigeria. Estimates N and P removed from cropland during crop residue grazing and returned to the land through manure, and the contribution crop residues make to cattle diet during the dry season.

A four year field study was conducted in central Texas to evaluate the effects of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) genotype, fertilizer N application rate and stover removal on crop yields and plant nutrient uptake and partitioning. Fertilizer N application rates of 112 kg ha were generally su...

The integration of forage legumes into the low-input, cereal-based farming system of the Sahel may be the key to sustaining soil, crop, and livestock production. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of intercropping the forage legumes Stylosanthes fruticosa (Retz.) Slston or ...

Discusses the contribution of crop residues to livestock feed resources during the dry season in the Abet plains, central Nigeria. Determines the grain and vegetative dry matter yields of predominant crops and the relationship between the two; percentage composition of crop residues; fiber, silic...

Examines the extent and methods of crop production in the Fulani agropastoral system in central Nigeria by analyzing cropping patterns, management techniques employed, and inputs to cropping such as labour, draught power & fertilizers, and output in terms of grain yield, energy and crop residues.

Many semiarid regions of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are experiencing vast increases in human population pressure and urbanization. These augment the demand for agricultural products and have led to the expansion, intensification, and often closer integration of crop and livestock production systems...

Livestock manure is an important source of nutrients for crop production in semi-arid West Africa. An assessment of the potential of manure to sustain crop production calls for an estimation of the amounts of manure that could be produced and captured and the feed resources required to maintain l...

The sustainability of nutrient transfers in integrated rangeland/cropland systems of the Sahel was examined in relation to the impact of livestock. Rangeland nutrient balances are considered in equilibrium whereas croplands lack the internal capacity to replenish nutrient off takes in grain and c...
