Striga hermonthica is a serious parasite of cereals in most of the semi-arid savanna zone of West Africa, causing substantial yield loss. It has been observed that some soybean cultivars are capable of stimulating germination of S. hermonthica seed, which would reduce the seed bank in the soil. T...

One of the major problems associated with the early soybean production system (ESPS) in the
Midsouth USA is seed shattering of early maturity group (MG) soybean that mature in the midsummer.
Information is needed to measure the impact of this problem and to provide proper management strategies. S...

Appropriate technologies were used to process plantain and soybean into flour which were used for the formulation of ‘Soyamusa’, a soybean-plantain baby food that requires little cooking. Extruded and non-extruded soybean grits were produced and mixed with plantain flour in varying proportions to...

More than 100 pathogens attack soybean, but only a third of them are of economic importance. Common yield reductions vary between 10% and 30%. Soybean diseases are caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and nematodes. Disease management is based on several control principles that should be preferabl...

On-farm trials were conducted in 2001, 2002, and 2003 in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria to evaluate integrated Striga hermonthica control measures under farmermanaged conditions. These included intercropping a Striga-resistant maize variety with cowpea for 3 years and also cropping this m...

Soybean can contribute to soil N, which may partly be used to improve maize production in northeast
Nigeria. However, the efficiency of soybean to fix N can be limited by soil P deficiency. This study
evaluated the effect of P application and soybean cultivars on dry matter and grain yield of sub...
