Mpairwe, D.R.Sabiiti, E.N.Umunna, N.N.Tegegne, AzageOsuji, P.O.[The Effect of source of nutrients (cattle manure or commercial fertilisers) on cereal grain yield, fodder yield and quality in cereals intercropped with lablab or clover]The Effect of source of nutrients (cattle manure or commercial fertilisers) on cereal grain yield, fodder yield and quality in cereals intercropped with lablab or clover

In southern Africa the repeated cultivation of maize (Zea mays) and climate variability (especially frequent and extended droughts) have created conditions favouring parasitic weed infestation (e.g., Striga asiatica). In the past decade, Striga has reduced maize yields for smallholder farmers (cu...

Weed abundance in cereal-based systems has increased in recent years across sub-Saharan Africa for smallholder farmers (cultivating less than two hectares). Smallholders can employ numerous practices to control weeds such as intercropping cereal crops with legumes. We conducted a review to identi...

Banana leaf pruning is a common practice to facilitate intercropping with legumes on farmers’ fields. It is however not clear if this practice improves farmers land-use and economic efficiency, especially after full canopy formation. To analyze pruning effects, three legumes viz. bush bean (Phase...


Ocimati, W.Ntamwira, J.Groot, Jeroen C.J.Taulya, G.Tittonell, Pablo A.Dhed’a, B.Asten, Piet J.A. vanVanlauwe, BernardRuhigwa, B.Blomme, Guy[Banana leaf pruning to facilitate annual legume intercropping as an intensification strategy in the East African highlands]Banana leaf pruning to facilitate annual legume intercropping as an intensification strategy in the East African highlands

The effects of cassava-based intercropping systems and rotations on physical and chemical properties of earthworm casts and the adjacent soil were studied on an Oxic Paleustalf in south-western Nigeria. Earthworm activity was greater with intercropping although it was not significantly affected b...

Afternoon soil temperature of about 39°C observed at 5 cm depth under sole cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) early in the growing season was reduced by respectively 1.0, 1.3, 3.0 and 4.4°C by intercropping with maize (Zea mays L.), maize/okra (Abelmoschus esculentus Moench), maize/ egusi melon (...

The Projet Recherche Appliquée en Milieu Réel is situated on the Adja Plateau, Southwest Benin. The project is responsible for a FSR&D programme that aims at sustainable use of the so-calledTerres de barre. Technologies tested in this context include seasonal fallowing, usingMucuna pruriens cv. g...
