Phosphorus is important for cowpea production in many tropical African soils with inherent low P fertility. Most farmers in Africa, however, do not have access to P fertilizer. Selection of cowpea lines that produce good yield under low soil P or those with high P-use efficiency can be a low inpu...

This paper is comprised of five parts. The first part discusses the role of legumes in sustainable soil management and crop-livestock production. In this part, strategic use of legumes, selection of forage legumes to sub-optimal soil conditions, use of appropriate rhizobium, response of legumes t...

Two greenhouse experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of phosphorus application and Rhizobium inoculation on the growth and nitrogen fixation of three tree legume species on a highland vertisol. The first experiment involved Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei, the second Leucaena panicu...

Growth parameters and dry-matter yield of Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei accessions were evaluated for adaptability and response to various nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) combinations. N and P fertilisation significantly increased canopy height, growth rate, number of primary branches per plant,...

Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei accessions were screened on Vertisols at PH 6.8 and acid clay soils (Nitosols) with and without application of phosphours (60 kg P/ha). Both species were generally well adapted to the Vertisols and grew to an overall mean height of 249 cm 14 months after transplanti...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is an important grain legume in the semiarid zone of West Africa as it is a major source of dietary protein for the people. It is usually grown as an intercrop with the major cereals, namely millet and sorghum. Despite its importance, its yields are very low ...
