Recurrent selection under artificial S. hermonthica infestation has significantly reduced the number of emerged Striga plants and increased grain yield under Striga infestation in broad-based populations. These populations have been sources of varieties and inbred lines with consistently high lev...

The effect of alley cropping with seven combinations of Acioa and Leucaena hedgerows and a control (no hedgerow) treatment on sequentially cropped maize and cowpea was studied in 1985 and 1986. The trial was carried out on an Alfisol in the humid zone of southwestern Nigeria. Hedgerows were estab...

Trypsin inhibitor content was determined in the seeds of 21 cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) lines (10 known to be resistant to Callosobruchus maculatus and 11 susceptible) whilst fatty acid composition was determined in 58 lines (11 resistant and 47 susceptible). A wide range in trypsin inhibitor cont...

In the Gash Delta of Eastern Sudan, spate irrigation (flood-recession farming) contributes substantially to rural livelihoods by providing better yields than rainfed dryland farming. However, spate irrigation farmers are challenged by the unpredictability of flooding. In recent decades, the numbe...

Measurements of incident solar radiation were made in sequentially cropped maize (Zea mays L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) planted between hedgerows of shrubs in an alley cropping pattern. The incident solar-radiation profile was examined and its effect on crop yield determined. The s...

Many assessments of climate change impacts on global crop yields project declines as early as the 2020s. Losses are projected to increase with time, up to 50% by the 2080s. We carry out a systematic global review and compare published projections of climate change impacts from 34 studies and ∼450...

Conservation agriculture involves reduced or no-tillage, permanent soil cover and crop rotations to enhance soil fertility and crop yields. Conservation agriculture practices are increasingly promoted on smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa as a means to overcome continuing poor-profitability ...
