Reports concentrations of primary and secondary nutrients in the dry matter that were harvested at various times and the removal of the nutrients from an upland soil in the Ethiopian highland in part III. Part IV deals with the concentration and uptake of Na, Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe from the dry matter...

IV. Concentration, micronutrient yields and crop residue quality

We conducted field experiments over 2 years on two acid soils of southern Cameroon to test whether efficient uptake and use of phosphorus (P) from less available sources by grain legume genotypes could benefit subsequent rotational maize. We grew two crops each year. For the first crop we grew 4 ...


Jemo, M.Abaidoo, R.C.Nolte, CTchienkoua, MSanginga, NteranyaHorst, Walter J.[Phosphorus benefits from grain-legume crops to subsequent maize grown on acid soils of southern Cameroon]Phosphorus benefits from grain-legume crops to subsequent maize grown on acid soils of southern Cameroon

There are several indications that legumes are capable of accessing sparingly soluble phosphorus (P) in the soil through root-induced processes. We hypothesize that this plant-induced mobilization of P can be demonstrated if the plant accessible P assessed by isotopic dilution ( L-value ) exceeds...

The following nine main cropping systems were evaluated: maize/maize in rotation without N-fertilizer (control); maize/cowpea in rotation where maize received N-fertilizer; maize/pigeonpea intercropping without N-fertilizer; maize/cowpea/pigeonpea in rotation where maize received N-fertilizer; ma...

African yam bean, AYB (Sphenostylis stenocarpa Hochst. ex. A. Rich Harms), is a tuberous legume of tropical Africa. AYB has the potential to significantly boost food security due to its considerable nutritional qualities. However, the crop is underutilized. To efficiently utilize AYB genetic reso...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is an important grain legume in the semiarid zone of West Africa as it is a major source of dietary protein for the people. It is usually grown as an intercrop with the major cereals, namely millet and sorghum. Despite its importance, its yields are very low ...

The research reported here has the potential for contributing to a real improvement in the livelihoods of mixed crop-livestock farming households in the dry savannah zone of West Africa through widespread uptake of improved dual-purpose cowpea (IDPC). This technology offers opportunities for the ...
