The increasing interest in crop-livestock integration in sub-Saharan Africa has emphasised the beneficial uses of forage legumes in cereal-based cropping systems. Forage legume-cereal cropping systems were evaluated in 1989 and 1990 at the ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the S...

This paper is comprised of five parts. The first part discusses the role of legumes in sustainable soil management and crop-livestock production. In this part, strategic use of legumes, selection of forage legumes to sub-optimal soil conditions, use of appropriate rhizobium, response of legumes t...

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...

Integrated natural resource management (INRM) is considered in the context of evolving crop-livestock systems in West Africa and recent Developments in approaches for INRM research. The major crop-livestock systems, ranging from extensive grazing, through integrated crop-livestock farming to inte...

Autor: Powell, J.M.

Defines land use, cropping patterns, production inputs, yields and constraints, in order to identify and design appropriate methods for increasing the quantity, quality and availability of fodder resources in the subhumid zone of Nigeria.


Powell, J.M.[ILCA's research on crop-livestock interactions in the subhumid zone of Nigeria]ILCA's research on crop-livestock interactions in the subhumid zone of Nigeria

Investigates the present integration of livestock and crop production; examines the influence of crop residues on animal nutrition and the use of cattle manure in cropping and regards these in the context of further socio-economic interactions between the two ethnic groups, including land sharing...

Autor: Powell, J.M.

Reports findings of baseline studies as size of cultivated area, cropping patterns, management in relation to fallowing and labour & other inputs, yields and constraints to increasing grain & forage production among traditional crop farmers and Fulani agropastoralists at Abet & Kurmin Biri, both ...

Animal manure is of vital importance to soil-fertility maintenance in semi-arid West Africa due to its intrinsic value as a soil amendment and because of the low level of inorganic fertiliser use. This paper provides a regional overview of manure utilisation for food crop production. Results of e...
