A three-year trial was conducted on a degraded soil in the moist Guinea savanna of northern Nigeria to assess the possibility of improving productivity and economic viability of maize-based systems by incorporating short-season legumes and green manure crops into the cropping pattern. Treatments ...

On-farm trials were conducted at Kaduna in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria in 1996 and 1997. The objective was to investigate the residual effects of Mucuna and cowpea grown during the first 2-3months of the season on subsequent maize yields, to elicit farmers' feedback on these cropping s...

Sustainable resource management is the critical agricultural research and development challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. The accumulated knowledge on soil management gathered over the last 10 years, combined with solid crop improvement and plant health research at farmers’ level, has brought us to ...


Sanginga, N.Dashiell, Kenton E.Diels, J.Vanlauwe, BernardLyasse, O.Carsky, R.J.Tarawali, S.Asafo-Adjei, B.Menkir, A.Schulz, S.Singh, B.B.Chikoye, D.Keatinge, D.Ortiz, R.[Sustainable resource management coupled to resilient germplasm to provide new intensive cerealgrainlegumelivestock systems in the dry savanna]Sustainable resource management coupled to resilient germplasm to provide new intensive cerealgrainlegumelivestock systems in the dry savanna

The IITA in its research for sustainable soil fertility management has passed through several stages during which legume-based systems were always at the forefront. Alley cropping has N yields of more than 200 kg ha-1 with 50% N2 fixation. In the case of Mucuna cover cropping, the ecological bene...
