Crop response, tree biomass production and changes in soil fertility characteristics were monitored in a long-term (1986–2002) alley-cropping trial in Ibadan, Nigeria. The systems included two alley cropping systems with Leucaena leucocephala and Senna siamea on the one hand and a control (no-tre...

Long-term integrated soil fertility management in South-western Nigeria : Crop performance and impact on the soil fertility status
Soil mineral deficiencies or toxicities adversely affect common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production worldwide. Cultivars tolerant to low soil fertility (LF) should support sustainable farming systems and reduce production costs and farmers' dependence on fertilizers. Our objective was to iden...

Two critical factors that explain low crop productivity in the Sahelian agro-ecozone are inadequate
moisture and poor soils, particularly phosphorus (P) deficiency. The purpose of this long-term study
was to explore the use of both local phosphate rock (PR) and inorganic P on yields and risk of...

Con el fin de identificar fuentes de resistencia a Thrips palmi Karny en fríjol ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) se hicieron tres experimentos en condiciones de campo e infestación natural en el municipio de Pradera (Valle del Cauca, Colombia). En el primero, se caracterizaron por resistencia al insecto ...

Abstract: Weeds in our cultures are a constraint for farmers, which as far as possible combine a lot of effort to eradicate them. In addition to this aspect of nuisance, weeds could also be used for the prediction of soil fertility. Thus a floristic inventory study was conducted successively in 1...

Climate change is projected to have widespread impacts on the climate suitability and geographical distribution of agricultural crops. Simulations were conducted on the suitability of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Tanzania under progressive climate change, taking into account a soil fer...

Conservation agriculture (CA) based on hand-hoe prepared planting basins is being widely promoted in southern Africa, targeting resource-constrained farmers with limited access to draft power. This study was conducted across 15 districts covering four agro-ecological zones in Zimbabwe where paire...

Improved understanding of soil fertility factors limiting crop productivity is important to develop appropriate soil and nutrient management recommendations in sub-Saharan Africa. Diagnostic trials were implemented in Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria and Tanzania, as part of the African Soils Informa...
