Improving maize productivity in the savannas of West Africa will depend on improving soil fertility and ensuring the efficient use of inputs and the relevant maize varieties tolerant to low nitrogen (N) that have been developed for this region. Several cycles of full-sib family selection that com...

Full-Sib family selection in maize populations for tolerance to low soil nitrogen
Context: Up to 65% of arable land in Africa is dedicated to maize production. It is a major commodity and source of food yet the constraint is drought, disease and weeds. The project is trying to make 100 varieties of maize in Africa that we are trying to make drought tolerant. Gender has become ...

The study investigated the effect of intercropping cereals (maize, sorghum and wheat) with forage legumes (lablab and clover), planting methods and manure application on cereal grain and fodder dry matter yield and fodder nutritive value. Data collected over a period of three years, indicated tha...
