Barrios, EdmundoCobo Borrero, Juan G.Rao, Idupulapati M.Thomas, Richard J.Amézquita Collazos, EdgarJiménez Jaén, Juan JoséRondón, Marco Antonio[Fallow management for soil fertility recovery in tropical Andean agroecosystems in Colombia]Fallow management for soil fertility recovery in tropical Andean agroecosystems in Colombia

Low phosphorus (P) supply is a major limitation to pasture establishment and production in highly weathered acid soils. Previous research showed that the forage legume, Arachis pintoi, was more efficient in acquiring P from infertile acid soils than the forage grass, Brachiaria dictyoneura. The m...


Rao, Idupulapati M.Borrero, V.Ricaurte Oyola, José JaumerGarcía, Ramiro[Adaptive attributes of tropical forage species to acid soils. V. Differences in phosphorus acquisition from less available inorganic and organic sources of phosphate]Adaptive attributes of tropical forage species to acid soils. V. Differences in phosphorus acquisition from less available inorganic and organic sources of phosphate

Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major constraint for crop production in many parts of the world including Myanmar and field research into management of P fertilizers and P responsiveness of crops on infertile soils has been limited. The purpose of this study is to determine maize yield response to...


Aye, Tin MaungHedley, MJLoganathan, PLefroy, R.D.B.Bolan, NS[Effect of organic and inorganic phosphate fertilizers and their combination on maize yield and phosphorus availability in a yellow earth in Myanmar]Effect of organic and inorganic phosphate fertilizers and their combination on maize yield and phosphorus availability in a yellow earth in Myanmar

Aluminum toxicity limits plant growth in acid soils. Because of their advanced state of weathering, acid soils of the tropics also tend to be deficient in nutrients. A realistic assessment of plant adaptation to these soils would therefore require Al-toxic conditions under which growth is simulta...

In terrestrial ecosystems, changes in soil nutrient availability, plant growth or natural enemies can generate important shifts in abundance of organisms at various trophic levels. In agroecosystems the performance of (invasive) herbivores and their impacts on crops is of particular concern. Scie...


Wyckhuys, Kris A.G.Burra, Dharani DharTran, D.H.Graziosi, IgnazioWalter, Abigail JanNguyen, T.G.Trong, H.N.Le, B.V.Le, T.T.N.Fonte, Steven J.[Soil fertility regulates invasive herbivore performance and top-down control in tropical agroecosystems of Southeast Asia]Soil fertility regulates invasive herbivore performance and top-down control in tropical agroecosystems of Southeast Asia

Poor cropland fertility and a rapidly rising demand for food force Sahelian farmers to cultivate more land and shorten fallow periods. This mostly leads to a gradual decline in crop yields per hectare, which can be counterbalanced by the systematic use of livestock manure on cropland. To assess t...


Schlecht, E.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Achard, F.Turner, M.D.[Livestock related nutrient budgets within village territories in western Niger]Livestock related nutrient budgets within village territories in western Niger

An experiment was conducted in 1996 and 1997 in semi-arid Niger, to determine the influence of supplementation (no supplement, millet bran + simple superphosphate, or millet bran + simple superphosphate + blood meal) for cattle and mulching (0 or 3 t ha-1 of Aristida sieberiana straw) on soil fer...


Sangare, M.Fernández Rivera, S.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Bationo, B. AndréPandey, V.S.[Influence of dry season supplementation for cattle on soil fertility and millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) yield in a mixed crop/livestock production system of the Sahel]Influence of dry season supplementation for cattle on soil fertility and millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) yield in a mixed crop/livestock production system of the Sahel

Animal manure is one of the principal sources of nutrients for soil fertility maintenance and crop production in semi-arid west Africa. Farm-level decisions concerning the use of manure are governed by socioeconomic and institutional factors, as much as they are by agronomic ecological concerns. ...

Stages in the diagnosis of an interveinal leaf chlorosis in bean in the Usambara Mountains of northern Tanzania are described. Leaf tissue analysis, soil analysis, a 25 factorial trial with treatments of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, the trace elements copper and zinc and lime at one location ...
