Examines the returns to labour from cropping fallowed land and land that has been used for stylosanthes fodder banks in the subhumid zone of Nigeria.
Traditional shifting cultivation systems can no longer be sustained in West Africa because of rapid increases in human and livestock populations. Short-duration, improved fallows are among the alternative land-management strategies that have evolved. This paper reviews how velvetbean or mucuna (M...
In Nigeria, researcher-managed and farmer-managed West African Dwarf goats were grazed on Stylosanthes hamata (stylo) fodder banks at stocking rates of 29, 43 and 57 goats/ha and 22-25, 42-43, 50-55 and 68-92 goats/ha, respectively. Extrusa samples were taken from oesophageally fistulated goats t...
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...
During the 1980s the management and nutrient requirements of Stylosanthes in pastures and cropping systems were investigated at several ILCA research sites in northern Nigeria. While Stylosanthes guianensis cv Cook and cv Schofield responded to phosphorus (P), Stylosanthes hamata cv Verano did so...
Examines the returns to labour from cropping fallowed land and land that has been used for stylosanthes fodder banks in the subhumid zone of Nigeria.
Investigates the response of maize to nitrogen on natural pasture (fallow), or following stylosanthes pastures (fodder banks) inside and outside fodder bank areas at 4 locations in central Nigeria. Maize planted in the fodder banks outyielded than on the natural fallow at each level of applied N.
