Increasing populations in West and Central Africa leads to intensification of land use and reduced fallow periods. Agricultural intensification in turn, results in degradation of soil fertility, erosion, spread of diseases, pests and weeds. Leguminous plants, integrated into existing cropping sys...
The complimentary effects of a native rhizobia strain (SAMFIX 286), lime and single superphosphate (SSP) as components of ISFM were evaluated on the biomass, nodulation and N2 fixation of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.). Lime was applied at the rate of 250 kg (Ca(OH)2) ha−1, while SSP was applied a...
A study was conducted in Sargodha, Pakistan during the year 2011 to testify irrigation practices as a method for reclaiming salt affected soil. Field experiments were conducted on saline-sodic and uncultivated land divided into 12 field plots. Six irrigation treatments, each replicated on two fie...
Soil population densities of Helicotylenchus multicinctus (Cobb) Golden were assessed under Flemingia macrophylla [(Willd.) Merrill] and Pueraria phaseoloides (Roxb.) Benth, and natural bush fallows over 24 months in three villages in southern Cameroon. Also assessed was the effect of H. multicin...
White or Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata), grown for its underground tubers, is an important food in West Africa. Progress in yam breeding is constrained by variable flowering behaviour, making hybridization difficult. Yam clones may be dioecious, monoecious or hermaphrodite with variable sex rat...
Examines the potential of forage legume-cereal intercrops in enhancing soil fertility and increasing crop and livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. Discusses inter/relay cropping systems, forage legumes in cereal systems, improvement of feed quality and enhancement of soil fertility and com...
