Changes in earthworm activity, water runoff, soil erosion, soil physical properties and fertility, and crop growth and yield caused by intercropping either maize (Zea mays L.) and cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) (MC) or maize, cassava and 'egusi' melon (Citrullus lanatus Thunb.) (MCM) on no-ti...

The cassava variety and population, which when intercropped with rice leads to increased productivity of the system were identified. Two cassava varieties (Cocoa, a local variety; and 80/40, an improved one) were each planted at four populations (6 666, 10 000, 13 333, and 16 666) as sole crops o...

Soil organic matter (SOM) losses due to soil erosion may be considered low in continuous potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cropping systems, but cumulated over time may cause considerable soil degradation. A field study was conducted in Kabete, Kenya, during the 2014 to 2015 rainy seasons to determin...

Sweetpotato yield is adversely affected by poor soil fertility in Mozambique where access to inorganic fertilisers is lacking. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intercropping sweetpotato with groundnut and soybean at various phosphorus (P) fertilisation levels on the...

Food production in West Africa has not been keeping pace with the population growth because the bulk of the agriculture in this region is still based on traditional inter-cropping systems with little or no application of fertilizers and chemicals. The average use of fertilizers in West Africa is ...

Since 1987 cassava agronomy research has been conducted by scientists from national cassava programs in Asia in collaboration and with small financial assistance from the CIAT cassava program. This paper summarizes and pulls together the results obtained, mainly corresponding to the period of 149...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) production is constrained by many factors, including the viral cassava mosaic disease (CMD). This study was conducted to explore the potential of intercropping cassava with legumes to reduce CMD effects on cassava production. Local (Lyongo Kwimba) and improved (...
