Fatondji, D.Martius, C.Zougmoré, Robert B.Vlek, Paul L.G.Bielders, Charles L.Koala, Saidou[Decomposition of organic amendment and nutrient release under the zai technique in the Sahel]Decomposition of organic amendment and nutrient release under the zai technique in the Sahel

In low-input systems, where most nutrients become available from soil organic matter (SOM) and residue turnover, the applicability of DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) crop simulation models is limited because (i) it recognizes only one type of SOM (i.e., humus) and rece...


Gijsman, AJHoogenboom, GerritParton, WJKerridge, Peter C.[Modifying DSSAT crop models for low-input agricultural systems using a soil organic matter-residue module from Century]Modifying DSSAT crop models for low-input agricultural systems using a soil organic matter-residue module from Century

Growing soybean varieties with high residue yield may help to sustain the soil organic matter (SOM) content when recycled. Replicated field trials were conducted in four Guinea savanna sites in Nigeria to study the dry matter partitioning in six soybean genotypes and evaluate them for biomass pro...

Background: Wastewater irrigation for vegetable production is a highly prevalent practice in Addis Ababa and a number of articles have been published on wastewater-irrigated soils and vegetables contaminated with heavy metals. However, to the best of our knowledge, an insight into assessment of h...


Woldetsadik, D.Drechsel, PayKeraita, Bernard N.Itanna, F.Gebrekidan, H.[Heavy metal accumulation and health risk assessment in wastewater-irrigated urban vegetable farming sites of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia]Heavy metal accumulation and health risk assessment in wastewater-irrigated urban vegetable farming sites of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Fonte, Steven J.Quintero, Diana CarolinaVelásquez, ElenaLavelle, Patrick M.[Interactive effects of plants and earthworms on the physical stabilization of soil organic matter in aggregates]Interactive effects of plants and earthworms on the physical stabilization of soil organic matter in aggregates

Continuous cultivation of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in monoculture systems represents the greatest factor deteriorating soil organic matter (SOM) in smallholder farms. With an aim to breaking this norm, a 2-year field trial intercropping potato with two legumes: lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) ...


Nyawade, S.Karanja, N.N.Gachene, C.K.K.Gitari, H.I.Schulte-Geldermann, ElmarParker, M.[Short-term dynamics of soil organic matter fractions and microbial activity in smallholder potato-legume intercropping systems.]Short-term dynamics of soil organic matter fractions and microbial activity in smallholder potato-legume intercropping systems.

Scanty information on long-term soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics hampers validation of SOC models in the tropics. We observed SOC content changes in a 16-year continuously cropped agroforestry experiment in Ibadan, south-western Nigeria. SOC levels declined in all treatments. The decline was mo...

Fallows improve soil fertility and allow sustainable agriculture. Soil fertility was assessed under different types of fallow through pH, nutrient concentrations and particulate organic matter (POM) quantity and quality. The two year-fallows were under Chromolaena odorata, Calliandra calothyrsus ...

Cassava yields obtained from farmers' fields in Nigeria during the Collaborative Study of Cassava in Africa (COSCA) survey gave an average root yield of 14.5 t/ha and an average harvest index of about 0.56. The average root yields from both the sub humid and non humid zones were the same but sign...
