Striga, drought, and low soil fertility constrain maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in West and Central Africa. Two Striga-resistant extra-early populations, TZEE-W Pop STR C0 (white) and TZEE-Y Pop STR C0 (yellow) were evaluated in field trials in Nigeria, f...

Improvement of yield and other traits of extra early maize under stress and nonstress environments
Striga and drought are major constraints to
maize (Zea mays L.) production in the savannas
of west and central Africa (WCA). A study
was conducted in 2005 and 2006 in Nigeria to
determine the level of resistance to Striga hermonthica
for two early-maturing maize populations,
one white and one yel...

Field studies were conducted in 1995 and 1996 in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria to determine the response of 22 soybean genotypes to Alectra infestation. Significant differences were observed amongst soybean genotypes in number of Alectra shoots that emerged at 9 and 10 weeks after sowing...

The benefit of planted fallow with legume cover crops may be limited on P deficient soil. A trial was conducted at two P deficient sites in northern Nigeria to test the hypothesis that application of P to legume cover crop fallow can substitute for N application to subsequent maize. Mainplots con...

Soybean can contribute to soil N, which may partly be used to improve maize production in northeast
Nigeria. However, the efficiency of soybean to fix N can be limited by soil P deficiency. This study
evaluated the effect of P application and soybean cultivars on dry matter and grain yield of sub...

In Uganda, highland banana yields (5-30 t ha-1yr-1) are low in comparison to potential yields (70 t ha-1yr-1) due to high pest and disease pressure, soil fertility decline, and poor management. Although it is generally accepted that soil exhaustion is a major cause of low and declining yields, th...

A series of trials was conducted to quantify response of dry season transplanted sorghum to water and fertilizer application in order to test the hypothesis that soil moisture limits production more than nutrient supply. The trials were conducted at two field sites representative of a large land ...
