In tropical savannas where soils are generally sandy and nutrient poor, organic farming associated with enhanced soil biological activity may result in increased nutrient availability. Therefore, legumes have been introduced in the humid savanna zone of Côte d’Ivoire, owing to their ability to fi...

Growing pearl millet and cowpea in combination with raising ruminant livestock is widely practiced in the Sahel. In this farming system, livestock feeding depends mostly on rangeland, fallows and cropland grazing. Nutritional constraints to grazing ruminants stem primarily from feed scarcity and ...

A two-stage typology of adopters and non-adopters of improved soybean varieties introduced to farmers in northern Nigeria was investigated using the discriminant analysis model. Labour expenses, active membership of associations and exposure to extension services significantly discriminated the t...
