Conservation projects have often been criticised for creating global benefits while causing negative impacts on local livelihoods. Ecosystem services approaches have been seen as one way to change this by focussing explicitly on maintaining ecosystems for human well-being of stakeholders at vario...

Cassava is becoming an ever more important crop, and over the past 20–30 years its planted area has increased faster than that of any other food crop. However, yields are still low due to the fact that the crop is usually grown on infertile soils and without adequate soil and crop management. Thi...

Mulch applications generally have a large beneficial effect on the productivity of important perennial cash crops in the East African Highlands such as bananas (Musa spp.) and coffee (Coffea spp.), due to the conservation of soil moisture and the improvement of soil fertility. However, the availa...

The low fertility level of some soils of the Western Highlands of Cameroon prompted a study of the response of maize (Zea mays L.) and some major soil chemical properties to liming. The first manufactured local lime “Agri 56” was tested along with 3 imported types (calcitic, slaked, and dolomitic...

Le faible niveau de fertilite des sols des Hauts Plateaux de l'Ouest a suscit6 une etude des r6ponses au chaulagedu mais (Zea mays) et des proprietes chimiques du sol. La chaux produite localement, "Agri 56," a ete testee comparativement a trois types importes (dolomite, chaux vive et carbonate d...

A field study of cowpea, soybean and maize was made at Ibadan, Nigeria, to determine the uptake of mineral nutrients and quantities removed in crop residues and seed. Concentrations of N, the major cations (K, Ca, Mg and Na) and major anions (P, S and Cl), and the micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and C...

Crop response, tree biomass production and changes in soil fertility characteristics were monitored in a long-term (1986–2002) alley-cropping trial in Ibadan, Nigeria. The systems included two alley cropping systems with Leucaena leucocephala and Senna siamea on the one hand and a control (no-tre...

Banana is the primary food crop in Uganda, but yields are low due to a complex of abiotic and biotic constraints. However, quantitative information on the importance, interactions, and geographic distribution of yields and constraints is scanty. We monitored yields, biotic and abiotic constraints...
