This document first describes the main agroecological zone found in sub-Saharan Africa and the environmental constraints to agricultural production inherent in these zones. This is followed by a description of the main agricultural production systems and land use practices. Factors that have cont...

Animal traction has been an integral part of most agricultural systems in Ethiopia for thousands of years. There is evidence that cattle were first used for ploughing in the latter part of the third millennium BC (Goe and Astatke, 1989). Today, the traditional cattle economy is directed mainly to...

The flood-based farming systems in the Ayeyarwady Delta in Myanmar are changing. Change describes the modification of the flood pattern which is constituted by depth and duration of flooding and is the determining factor for rice cultivation. Flood-induced crop loss poses the major challenge to t...

Twenty surface soils (0 to 15 cm), selected to represent a wide range of available potassium (K) status and three different land-use systems (fodder bank, continously fertilized cropped land and fallow land) across the subhumid zone of Nigeria, were used for the investigation. Laboratory and gree...
