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

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...

Banana-legume intercropping systems are commonly practiced in the highland zones of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to maximize land use and intensify crop production. However, banana leaves are pruned during legume intercropping to improve sunlight penetration for the legume. On-farm ex...

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...


Rurangwa, E.Vanlauwe, BernardGiller, Ken E.[Benefits of inoculation, P fertilizer and manure on yields of common bean and soybean also increase yield of subsequent maize]Benefits of inoculation, P fertilizer and manure on yields of common bean and soybean also increase yield of subsequent maize

Soybean grain yields in sub-Saharan Africa have remained at approximately 50% below those attained in South America despite numerous efforts. A study was conducted in Siaya County (western Kenya) involving 107 farms with soils of different fertility status. The main objective was to test combinat...

Vandeplas, IVanlauwe, BernardDriessens, LMerckx, R.Deckers, J.[Reducing labour and input costs in soybean production by smallholder farmers in south-western Kenya]Reducing labour and input costs in soybean production by smallholder farmers in south-western Kenya

Background and aims Incorporating soybean (Glycine max) genotypes with a high nitrogen fixation potential into cropping systems can sustainably improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Western Kenya. Nitrogen fixation is, however, often constrained by low phosphorus (P) availability. The...

In order to determine the improved soybean varieties that if recommended to the farmers would have a high probability of adoption, a farmer participatory approach was used to evaluate 12 soybean varieties at full podding in five locations (Oyani, Riana, Kasewe, Akiites, and Mabole) in western Ken...
