Strategic phosphorus application in legume-cereal rotations increases land productivity and profitability in Western Kenya

Autor: Kihara, Job Vanlauwe, Bernard Waswa, Boaz S. Kimetu, J.M. Chianu, J.N. Bationo, B. André

Many food production systems in sub-Saharan Africa are constrained by phosphorus (P). We hypothesized that within legume-cereal rotation systems: targeting P to the legume phase leads to higher system productivity, and that use of grain legumes leads to better economic returns than use of herbace...

The ability to fix N is not the only key to delivery of the benefits of BNF to farmers: experience of IITA in the savannas of Africa

Autor: Carsky, R. Sanginga, N. Schulz, S. Douthwaite, Boru Manyong, Victor M. Diels, J. Vanlauwe, Bernard Keatinge, J.D.H.

The IITA in its research for sustainable soil fertility management has passed through several stages during which legume-based systems were always at the forefront. Alley cropping has N yields of more than 200 kg ha-1 with 50% N2 fixation. In the case of Mucuna cover cropping, the ecological bene...
