Over the years, research conducted on the crop focused mainly on agronomic, soil fertility maintenance and soil conservation practices. Very few studies were conducted on the basic physiology of the plant. Except for the use of fertilizers and a change in varieties, very few farmers adopted the ...

Brachiaria grasses, especially R decumbens cv. Basilisk (signalgrass), are the most widely grown pastures in subhumid and humid tropics. When fertilized with nitrogen and well managed, these pastures have high forage quality (measured as digestibility). Animal production is therefore high and rel...

Current patterns of agricultural expansion and intensification are bringing unprecedented environmental externalities, including impacts on water quality. While water pollution is slowly starting to receive the attention it deserves, the contribution of agriculture to this problem has not yet rec...

The two years on-farm tillage research during the 1999 and 2000 cropping seasons in Ethiopian highland Vertisol area demonstrated the importance of adapting cultural practices into participatory trials. The minimum tillage package could be an effective intervention for soil conservation due to th...

The vast majority of farmers in sub-Saharan Africa depend on rainfed agriculture for food production and livelihood. Various factors including but not limited to rainfall variability, land degradation, and low soil fertility constrain agricultural productivity in the region. The objectives of thi...

The productivity and nutritive value of Chamaecrista rotundifolia cv. Wynn, Centrosema pascuorum cv. Cavalcade, Stylosanthes guianensis cv. Pucallpa and S. hamata cv. Verano as affected by single superphosphate fertilisation (SSP) and weed control were measured during the dry season in subhumid N...

Four contrasting varieties of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) were grown for ten months over two consecutive seasons in hillside Colombia with or without nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilization. Sequential harvests were every two months. The two varieties well adapted to acid soils (C...
