Soil fertility decline is a major constraint to bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and maize (Zea mays) production in the Central Highlands of Burundi. Nutrient sources, specifically fertilizers, are paramount to increasing the production in the regions. Hence, improving fertilizer use efficiency is co...


Niyuhire, M.C.Pypers, PieterVanlauwe, BernardNziguheba, GeneroseRoobroeck, D.Merckx, R.[Profitability of diammonium phosphate use in bush and climbing bean-maize rotations in smallholder farms of Central Burundi]Profitability of diammonium phosphate use in bush and climbing bean-maize rotations in smallholder farms of Central Burundi

Soybean yields could benefit from the use of improved varieties, phosphate-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants. In this study, we evaluated the results of widespread testing of promiscuous soybean varieties with four treatments: no inputs (control); SSP fertilizer (P); inoculants (I) and SSP plus...


Ronner, E.Franke, A.C.Vanlauwe, BernardDianda, M.Edeh, E.Ukem, B.Bala, A.Heerwaarden, Joost vanGiller, Ken E.[Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers' fields in northern Nigeria]Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers' fields in northern Nigeria

Grain legumes play a key role in smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), in relation to food and nutrition security and income generation. Moreover, because of their N2-fixation capacity, such legumes can also have a positive influence on soil fertility. Notwithstanding many deca...

Improving bacterial nitrogen fixation in grain legumes is central to sustainable intensification of agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. In the case of soyabean, two main approaches have been pursued: first, promiscuous varieties were developed to form effective symbiosis with locally abundant nitr...

Woomer, P.L.Huising, JeroenGiller, Ken E.Baijukya, Frederick P.Kantengwa, S.Vanlauwe, BernardBoahen, S.Wolf, J. deFranke, L.Abaidoo, R.C.Dianda, M.Sanginga, J.M.Ronner, E.Brand, G. van denSchilt, C.[N2Africa Final Report of the First Phase: 2009-2013]N2Africa Final Report of the First Phase: 2009-2013

Appropriate management of organic resources is fully embedded in the Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) framework. ISFM aims at maximising the use efficiency of external inputs through the use of improved germplasm, well-managed fertiliser and organic inputs, and adaptation of any practi...

Leguminous cover crops such as Mucuna pruriens (mucuna) have the potential to contribute to soil N and increase the yields of subsequent or associated cereal crops through symbiotic N fixation. It has often been assumed that mucuna will freely nodulate, fix N2 and therefore contribute to soil N. ...

As a result of declining farm/plot size and increasing food security needs, intercropping is practised by the majority of small-scale farmers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. A banana-1egume intercropping experiment was conducted at the Mulungu Research Station in South Kivu Province to e...
