Banana leaf pruning is a common practice to facilitate intercropping with legumes on farmers’ fields. It is however not clear if this practice improves farmers land-use and economic efficiency, especially after full canopy formation. To analyze pruning effects, three legumes viz. bush bean (Phase...


Ocimati, W.Ntamwira, J.Groot, Jeroen C.J.Taulya, G.Tittonell, Pablo A.Dhed’a, B.Asten, Piet J.A. vanVanlauwe, BernardRuhigwa, B.Blomme, Guy[Banana leaf pruning to facilitate annual legume intercropping as an intensification strategy in the East African highlands]Banana leaf pruning to facilitate annual legume intercropping as an intensification strategy in the East African highlands

Increasing organic matter/carbon contents of soils is one option proposed to offset climate change inducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, under the auspices of the UNFCC Paris Agreement. One of the complementary practices to sequester carbon in soils on decadal time scales is amending it with b...

Common bean is an important crop with potential to curb malnutrition in poor Sub-Saharan African populations. Yields of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are, however poor, limited by low soil phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and poor biological N2-fixation. On-farm experiments were carried out to ...

A synthesis of results from the savanna zone of West Africa suggests that cowpea rotation can be considered to be an effective resource management technology in cereal-based systems. Part of the N requirement of cereal crops can be satisfied by cowpea crop rotation. Furthermore, benefits of cowpe...

In cover cropping systems in the tropics with herbaceous legumes, plant residues are expected to supply nitrogen (N) to non-legume crops during decomposition. Field experiments were carried out to (i) determine the effects of residue quality on decomposition and N release patterns of selected pla...

Reliable estimates of symbiotically fixed N2 in herbaceous legumes are important in order to determine their role in maintaining or improving N levels in tropical low-external-input farming systems. We have studied the effects of different management systems on the suitability of two non-N2-fixin...
