Abstract]Optimising land productivity in crop-livestock systems by integrating legumes in the lowland moist savannas of West Africa. Abstract

Cowpea is important for the provision of both grain for food and fodder for livestock but there is often a trade-off between production of the two. To better understand influences on grain and fodder production, and how these may be utilized. Research was conducted at 5 locations in West Africa u...
