Maltas, ACorbeels, MarcScopel, EWery, JSilva, F.A.M. da[Cover crop and nitrogen effects on maize productivity in no-tillage systems of the Brazilian cerrados]Cover crop and nitrogen effects on maize productivity in no-tillage systems of the Brazilian cerrados

Tropical soils are particularly vulnerable to fertility losses due to their low capacity to retain organic matter and mineral nutrients. This urges the development of new agricultural practices to manage mineral nutrients and organic matter in a more sustainable way while relying less on fertiliz...


Noguera, DLaossi, KRLavelle, Patrick M.Cruz de Carvalho, M.H.Asakawa, N.Botero, CésarBarot, S[Amplifying the benefits of agroecology by using the right cultivars]Amplifying the benefits of agroecology by using the right cultivars

The sequential extraction procedure currently used to measure magnesium (Mg) fertilizer dissolution in soils consists of removing dissolved Mg (step 1), and partially dissolved Mg (step 2), followed by an 18?h extraction with 2 M HCl at room temperature to determine undissolved Mg (step 3). This ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are commonly grown in association in eastern and southern Africa. Results from 64-fertilizer response trials conducted in Kenya were used to study the relationship between maize monoculture response to fertilizer nitrogen and phosphorus and the...

Many food production systems in sub-Saharan Africa are constrained by phosphorus (P). We hypothesized that within legume-cereal rotation systems: targeting P to the legume phase leads to higher system productivity, and that use of grain legumes leads to better economic returns than use of herbace...


Kihara, JobVanlauwe, BernardWaswa, Boaz S.Kimetu, J.M.Chianu, J.N.Bationo, B. André[Strategic phosphorus application in legume-cereal rotations increases land productivity and profitability in Western Kenya]Strategic phosphorus application in legume-cereal rotations increases land productivity and profitability in Western Kenya

The application of silicon (Si) fertilizers reduces the severity of blast, caused by Magnaporthe grisea, in irrigated and upland rice; however, little research has been conducted to examine the epidemiological and etiological components of this reduction. Four cultivars of rice with differential ...


Seebold, KWKucharek, TADatnoff, LECorrea Victoria, Fernando J.Marchetti, MA[The influence of silicon on components of resistance to blast in susceptible, partially resistant, and resistant cultivars of rice]The influence of silicon on components of resistance to blast in susceptible, partially resistant, and resistant cultivars of rice

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...
