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

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...

Trials have been conducted in the subhumid zone of Nigeria to assess the potential of different weed control methods to improve seed quantity and quality using three tropical forage legumes: Centrosema pascuorum cv. cavalcade, chamaecrista rotundifolia cv. Wynn and Stylosanthes hamata cv. Verano....

Genetic markers are being used by scientists worldwide in both animal and plant related breeding and Development efforts. The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) is a new institute formed in January 1995 by the amalgamation of the former ILCA (International Livestock Centre for Afri...

A classification of the major ruminant livestock production systems in West Africa is proposed. The proposed typology has two major classes of systems-sole livestock and crop-livestock. The sole livestock class has two systems (rangeland-based and landless) and the crop-livestock class has three ...

Integration of forage legumes into traditional fallow management systems can help to improve both forage supply at a time of feed scarcity and soil fertility. At two sites in south-west Nigeria, 11 legume species with generally low nutrient requirements were evaluated on-station in a short-term l...

A cropping system trial involving 2 spray treatments, 2 cowpea varieties, and 9 cowpea–cereals cropping patterns involving two cereals was conducted in 1999 and 2000 cropping seasons in Minjibir. The systems involved different row to row combinations of cowpea and millet or sorghum. Selec...
