Nziguheba, GeneroseZingore, ShamieKihara, JobMerckx, R.Njoroge, S.Otinga, A.Vandamme, E.Vanlauwe, Bernard[Phosphorus in smallholder farming systems of subSaharan Africa: implications for agricultural intensification]Phosphorus in smallholder farming systems of subSaharan Africa: implications for agricultural intensification

Application of biochar has been shown to increase soil fertility and enable soil carbon sequestration, indicating potential for agricultural and environmental benefits from using locally produced biochar on African smallholder farms. However, previous studies have been rather short-term and littl...


Kätterer, T.Roobroeck, D.Andrén, O.Kimutai, G.Karltun, E.Kirchmann, H.Nyberg, G.Vanlauwe, BernardNowina, K.R. de[Biochar addition persistently increased soil fertility and yields in maizesoybean rotations over 10 years in sub-humid regions of Kenya]Biochar addition persistently increased soil fertility and yields in maizesoybean rotations over 10 years in sub-humid regions of Kenya

Farrow, AndrewRonner, E.Brand, G. van denBoahen, S.Leonardo, W.Woldemeskel, EndalkachewAdjei-Nsiah, SamuelChikowo, RegisBaijukya, Frederick P.Ebanyat, PeterSangodele, S.Sanginga, J.M.Kantengwa, S.Phiphira, L.Woomer, P.L.Ampadu-Boakye, T.Baars, E.Kanampiu, F.Vanlauwe, BernardGiller, Ken E.[From best fit technologies to best fit scaling: incorporating and evaluating factors affecting the adoption of grain legumes in Sub-Saharan Africa.]From best fit technologies to best fit scaling: incorporating and evaluating factors affecting the adoption of grain legumes in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Common bean and soybean yield poorly on smallholder farms in Rwanda. We evaluated the benefits of inoculation combined with P fertilizer and manure on yields of common bean and soybean in three agro-ecological zones (AEZs), and their residual effects on a subsequent maize crop. In the first seaso...

Providing food and water security for a population expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050 while conserving natural resources requires achieving high(er) and stable yields on every hectare of currently used arable land suitable for intensification.


Claessens, LievenVanlauwe, BernardCassman, Kenneth G.Wart, Justin vanGrassini, PatricioYang, HaishunIttersum, Martin K. vanBussel, Lenny G. J. vanWolf, JoostBoogaard, H.Groot, Hugo deStoorvogel, J.J.[Soil suitability for sustainable intensification in smallholder systems in Sub-Saharan Africa]Soil suitability for sustainable intensification in smallholder systems in Sub-Saharan Africa

Bacigale, S.Nabahungu, L.Njingulula, P.Amato, S.Okafor, C.Manyawu, G.Thorne, Peter J.Havyarimana, D.Vanlauwe, Bernard[ICT technologies improve crop-livestock production and smallholder farmer’s incomes in eastern DR Congo]ICT technologies improve crop-livestock production and smallholder farmer’s incomes in eastern DR Congo

Livestock play multiple roles for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Mixed crop-livestock systems are common in South Kivu, eastern DR Congo, but herd sizes are small and numbers of large livestock (i.e. cattle) have declined, due to high population density, recent conflicts and extreme p...

Intensification of agricultural systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is considered a pre-condition for alleviation of rural poverty. Conservation Agriculture (CA) has been promoted to achieve this goal, based on three principles: minimum tillage, soil surface cover, and diversified crop rotations....

Vanlauwe, BernardWendt, J.Giller, Ken E.Corbeels, MarcGerard, Bruno G.[Response to Sommer et al. (2014) Fertiliser use is not required as a fourth principle to define conservation agriculture]Response to Sommer et al. (2014) Fertiliser use is not required as a fourth principle to define conservation agriculture

Sub-Saharan Africa needs to produce more food, feed, and fiber to support its growing population and intensification of smallholder agriculture is a crucial component of any strategy towards this goal. Sustainable Intensification (SI) acknowledges that enhanced productivity needs to go hand in ha...
