Vanlauwe, BernardAsten, Piet J.A. vanBlomme, Guy[Challenges and opportunities for agricultural intensification of the humid highland systems of sub-Saharan Africa]Challenges and opportunities for agricultural intensification of the humid highland systems of sub-Saharan Africa
Vanlauwe, BernardSix, JohanSanginga, NteranyaAdesina, A.A.[Soil fertility decline at the base of rural poverty in sub-Saharan Africa]Soil fertility decline at the base of rural poverty in sub-Saharan Africa

Heterogeneity in soil fertility in these smallholder systems is caused by both inherent soil-landscape and human-induced variability across farms differing in resources and practices. Interventions to address the problem of poor soil fertility in Africa must be designed to target such diversity a...


Tittonell, Pablo A.Muriuki, A.Klapwijk, C.J.Shepherd, Keith D.Coe, R.Vanlauwe, Bernard[Soil Heterogeneity and Soil Fertility Gradients in Smallholder Agricultural Systems of the East African Highlands]Soil Heterogeneity and Soil Fertility Gradients in Smallholder Agricultural Systems of the East African Highlands

A better understanding of the factors that contribute to low cassava yields in farmers’ fields is required to guide the formulation of cassava intensification programs. Using a boundary line approach, we analysed the contribution of soil fertility, pest and disease infestation and farmers’ cultiv...


Kintché, K.Hauser, S.Mahungu, N.M.Ndonda, A.Lukombo, S.Nhamo, N.Uzokwe, Veronica N.E.Yomeni, M.Ngamitshara, J.Ekoko, B.Mbala, M.Akem, C.Pypers, PieterMatungulu, K.P.Kehbila, A.Vanlauwe, Bernard[Cassava yield loss in farmer fields was mainly caused by low soil fertility and suboptimal management practices in two provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo]Cassava yield loss in farmer fields was mainly caused by low soil fertility and suboptimal management practices in two provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo

The contribution of the legume community to the nitrogen cycle during natural forest regeneration remains poorly understood. We systematically assessed the changes in abundance and nodulation status of all legumes, across taxa and plant types, in a forest succession gradient in the Equateur Provi...


Bauters, M.Mapenzi, N.Kearsley, E.Vanlauwe, BernardBoeckx, P.[Facultative nitrogen fixation by legumes in the central Congo basin is downregulated during late successional stages]Facultative nitrogen fixation by legumes in the central Congo basin is downregulated during late successional stages

The decline of soil organic matter (SOM) and its associated fertility is one of the most important constraints to enhanced crop productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. Integrated soil fertility management recognizes the potential benefits of the combined use of organic residue and mineral fertilizer ...


Gentile, RVanlauwe, BernardChivenge, P.P.Six, Johan[Trade-offs between the short and long term effects of residue quality on soil C and N dynamics]Trade-offs between the short and long term effects of residue quality on soil C and N dynamics

Different fields within a farm have been observed to have different soil fertility status and this may affect the response of a maize crop to applied N, P, and K fertiliser. A limiting nutrient trial was carried out at six farms each, in three districts of Western Kenya. In each of the farms, the...


Vanlauwe, BernardTittonell, Pablo A.Mukulama, J[Within-farm soil fertility gradients affect response of maize to fertilizer application in Western Kenya]Within-farm soil fertility gradients affect response of maize to fertilizer application in Western Kenya

The need to promote fertiliser use by African smallholder farmers to counteract the current decline in per capita food production is widely recognised. But soil heterogeneity results in variable responses of crops to fertilisers within single farms. We used existing databases on maize production ...


Tittonell, Pablo A.Vanlauwe, BernardCorbeels, MarcGiller, Ken E.[Yield gaps, nutrient use efficiencies and response to fertilisers by maize across heterogenous smallholder farms of western Kenya]Yield gaps, nutrient use efficiencies and response to fertilisers by maize across heterogenous smallholder farms of western Kenya

Atser, G.Dixon, A.Ekeleme, F.Hauser, S.Jalloh, A.Pypers, PieterNitturkar, H.Vanlauwe, BernardChikoye, D.Dashiell, Kenton E.[Reaching farmers with weed management technologies: Scaling approaches that work]Reaching farmers with weed management technologies: Scaling approaches that work

Legume—maize crop rotations are used as a mechanism to reverse declining soil fertility in West Africa. However, such crop rotations exhibit a relatively low recovery of legume N. Temperate region studies partly attribute low N recovery to gaseous N losses, but this has not been established for m...


Roing, KGoossens, ADiels, J.Sanginga, NteranyaAndren, O.Vanlauwe, Bernard[Initial nitrous oxide fluxes from a maize-legume cropping system in a soil of the derived savanna zone of Nigeria-effect of fertilizer and incorporated organic matter]Initial nitrous oxide fluxes from a maize-legume cropping system in a soil of the derived savanna zone of Nigeria-effect of fertilizer and incorporated organic matter
