An experiment was conducted in 1990 and 1991 at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria to study the role of earthworms in the decomposition of plant residue mulches with different qualities. Five mulches of Dactyladenia barteri, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leu...

Populations of soil-dwelling mites were monitored in monoculture plots of four agroforestry tree species, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala, Dactyladenia barteri and Treculia africana, and compared to those in grass and secondary forest plots in the dry season (December 1993 to January 199...

Twelve herbaceous and shrub legume species were grown in pot and field experiments in five sites representing three agroecological zones in moist savanna in Nigeria. The objectives were to: (1) assess natural nodulation of the legumes and characterize their indigenous rhizobia, (2) determine thei...

The soil- and litter-dwelling Collembola under four agroforestry tree species (Treculia ajricana, Dactylaaenia (Acioa) barteri, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leu'cocephala) were monitored monthly for a period of 12 months and results were compared with those of a secondary forest and a grass plo...

Field litterbag decomposition study, through widely accepted for examining decomposition of plant residues, is time consuming, as it requires several months to complete. An experiment was conducted to explore the possibility to introduce ruminant nylonbag assay which only takes 3-4 days, to plant...

A simplified Shaw's wet‐combustion technique for carbon (C) determination in plant materials is described which requires less reagent and operation time. The simplified technique gave high recovery (99.4%) of the C in analytical pure grade sucrose and citric acid, and high reproducibility of C me...
