Recycling of plant residues, fertilizer use and inclusion of trees and perennials in crop fields are key components in systems for improved food crop production on infertile soils in the forest regions of West Africa. 2 On Alfisols of pH 5.5 or higher in the forest and forest-savanna transitional...
Most upland soils in humid and sub-humid tropical Africa are characterized by low inherent fertility and are also susceptible to soil erosion and compaction with cultivation. Based on simulation model, this study uses a capital budgeting approach to determine the profitability of alternative land...
Maize dominated cassava irrespective of cassava or maize growth habit and the optimum maize population giving the highest production based on relative yield total or land equivalent ratio varied with maize variety in a tropical Alfisol at Ibadan, transition humid/subhumid zone in West Africa. The...
Dairy intensification is a widely used means of achieving food security, improving farmer incomes and enhancing overall economic growth. However, intensification is dependent upon the availability and suitability of natural resources to sustain growth in production. Here, land and water footprint...
Land degradation in the West African subregion is threatening the food security and livelihoods of both rural and urban populations. Green manure cover crops have the potential of reversing such trends. A wide range of stakeholders have been involved in the promotion of these technologies and it ...
In sub-Saharan Africa, intensification of agriculture and rational use of arable land are essential for long-term growth (Gros, 1979, Johnston, 1990, Oluf et al., 990). Extensive cultivation methods and the population explosion are pushing the limits of cultivated land every day; deforestation ac...
