Tarawali, G.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.Kaufmann, Ralph R. von[Legume-based cropping. A possible remedy to land tenure constraint to ruminant production in the subhumid zone of central Nigeria]Legume-based cropping. A possible remedy to land tenure constraint to ruminant production in the subhumid zone of central Nigeria

The poor quality of the natural vegetation in the dry season affects both animal productivity and the lives of the pastoral community in the Adamawa Plateau of Cameroon but may be improved by introduction of the forage legume Stylosanthes guianensis. When used in a fodder bank system, Stylosanthe...


Tarawali, G.Pamo, E.T.[A case for on-farm trials of fodder banks on the Adamawa Plateau in Cameroon]A case for on-farm trials of fodder banks on the Adamawa Plateau in Cameroon

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the critical deficiency levels of potassium (K) in the subhumid zone soils for predicting response of a mixture of Andropogon gayanus and Stylosanthes hamata cVerano to K application. Twenty coarse textured soils, having loamy sand to sandy loam ...


Tening, A.S.Tarawali, G.Omueti, J.A.I.[Critical potassium deficiency levels for a grass legume pasture grown on soils of the subhumid zone of Nigeria]Critical potassium deficiency levels for a grass legume pasture grown on soils of the subhumid zone of Nigeria

The fast depletion of available potassium (K) in soils of the subhumid zone (SHZ) of Nigeria has become a problem for the formulation of fertilizer recommendations, especially in the grass/legume mixtures of the fodder bank system. Five different K fertilizer recommendation models viz. Control, C...


Tening, A.S.Omueti, J.A.I.Tarawali, G.[Potassium requirements of a grass/legume pasture established on selected soils of the subhumid zone of Nigeria]Potassium requirements of a grass/legume pasture established on selected soils of the subhumid zone of Nigeria

Over a grazing period of about 14 weeks, comparisons were made between pasture improved with Stylosanthes hamata and that based on natural grassland. The grazing densities ranged from 2.11 to 4.23 TLU/ha (Tropical Livestock Unit = 250 kg liveweight). Both pastures were grazed in the previous wet ...


Iji, P.A.Tarawali, G.Umunna, N.N.Alawa, J.P.[Effects of grazing at different stocking densities and grazing period on yield and chemical composition of herbage in the subhumid zone of Nigeria]Effects of grazing at different stocking densities and grazing period on yield and chemical composition of herbage in the subhumid zone of Nigeria

Twenty surface soils (0 to 15 cm), selected to represent a wide range of available potassium (K) status and three different land-use systems (fodder bank, continously fertilized cropped land and fallow land) across the subhumid zone of Nigeria, were used for the investigation. Laboratory and gree...


Tening, A.S.Omueti, J.A.I.Tarawali, G.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[Potassium status of some selected soils under different land-use systems in the subhumid zone of Nigeria]Potassium status of some selected soils under different land-use systems in the subhumid zone of Nigeria

Grazing reserves in Nigeria are areas set aside for the use of pastoralists and are intended to be the foci of livestock development. The stated purpose of grazing reserves is the settlement of nomadic pastoralists they offer security of tenure as an inducement to sedentarization through the prov...


Ingawa, S.A.Tarawali, G.Kaufmann, Ralph R. von[Grazing reserves in Nigeria: Problems, prospects and policy implication]Grazing reserves in Nigeria: Problems, prospects and policy implication

This chapter refers to four technologies involving cover crops and integrated crop-livestock interventions developed under varying social, ecological and production systems, in which farmers and researchers, working in partnership to combine indigenous knowledge and circumstances with research in...

Tarawali, Shirley A.Smith, Jimmy W.Peters, MichaelMuhr, L.Schultze-Kraft, RainerTarawali, G.[Optimising land productivity in crop-livestock systems by integrating legumes in the lowland moist savannas of West Africa. Abstract]Optimising land productivity in crop-livestock systems by integrating legumes in the lowland moist savannas of West Africa. Abstract

This paper determines the productivity of West African Dwarf goats in the subhumid zone of Nigeria and compares the relative merits of alternative wet season feed regimes namely; tethering goats on natural pasture, tethering goats on leguminous pasture and free grazing goats on leguminous pasture...
