Brachiaria cultivars developed by forage research programs are delivered to commercial livestock producers through the vehicle of seed. Over the past 15-20 years, a large, dynamic industry has developed in Brazil for the production of Brachiaria seed. This paper describes the history of this indu...

The production of tropical pasture species is determined by a complex of interacting factors which include the climatic variables of temperature, rainfall, and solar radiation; the soil's capacity to supply nutrients; the soil water available to the roots; and the effects of both current and prev...

Chemical analysis and missing element trials with Sorghum vulgare L. showed that three Panamanian soils, representative of three great soil groups, were deficient in both nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). When a greenhouse trial was undertaken to test the response of Cajanus cajan to rhizobial ino...

Sustained adoption of soil carbon enhancing practices (SCEPs) at scale remains an aspiration goal to maintain sufficient amount of soil carbon in household farms in order to impact on the sustained farm productivity caused by sustained soil fertility. The objective of this study is to systematica...

Widespread negative impacts of climate change include limited plant growth, decreased soil fertility, and ultimately limited food production (Dhankher et al., 2018). Roots, tubers and bananas (RTB) are key commodities for food security, nutrition and livelihoods especially among small-holder farm...

Phosphate rock (PR) is an alternative fertilizer to increase the P content of P-deficient weathered soils. We evaluated the effects of fertilizer form on indicators of biological cycling of P using an on-farm trial on a Rhodic Kandiudox in western Kenya. Treatment plots were sampled after 13 crop...

Alley agriculture in Africa. In Alley cropping, food crops are grown in alleys formed by hedgerows of trees or shrubs, preferably legumes. The hedgerows are cut back at planting and at intervals during cropping to provide mulch and manure for crops growing in the alleys, and to prevent shading an...

Establishment of Leucaena leucocephala was poor at Ibadan (Transition forest-savanna zone) and Fashola (savanna zone, 70 km north of Ibadan) in southwestern Nigeria as a result of low soil fertility and the presence of only a few native rhizobia capable of nodulating it. Inoculation with L. leuco...
