Castellanos Suarez, Diana EdithGigon, AgnèsPuga-Freitas, RubenLavelle, Patrick M.Blouin, ManuelVelásquez, Elena[Combined effects of earthworms and IAA-producing rhizobacteria on plant growth and development]Combined effects of earthworms and IAA-producing rhizobacteria on plant growth and development

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

In tropical savannas where soils are generally sandy and nutrient poor, organic farming associated with enhanced soil biological activity may result in increased nutrient availability. Therefore, legumes have been introduced in the humid savanna zone of Côte d’Ivoire, owing to their ability to fi...


Kone, AWEdoukou, Ettien F.Tondoh, Jérôme E.Gonnety, JTAngui, Pascal K.T.Masse, D[Comparative study of earthworm communities, microbial biomass, and plant nutrient availability under 1-year Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp and Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet cultivations versus natural regrowths in a guinea savanna zone]Comparative study of earthworm communities, microbial biomass, and plant nutrient availability under 1-year Cajanus cajan (L.)

Renard, DBirk, JJZangerle, ALavelle, Patrick M.Glaser, BBlatrix, R.McKey, D[Ancient human agricultural practices can promote activities of contemporary non-human soil ecosystem engineers : A case study in coastal savannas of French Guiana]Ancient human agricultural practices can promote activities of contemporary non-human soil ecosystem engineers : A case study in coastal savannas of French Guiana

Earthworms can have positive effects upon crop growth in the tropics. If soils are to be managed sustainably, then more attention should be paid to the effects of cultivation and cropping practices upon earthworms. When forest vegetation is cleared, slashed, burned and land is tilled and cultivat...


Norgrove, L.Csuzdi, C.Hauser, S.[Effects of cropping and tree density on earthworm community composition and densities in central Cameroon]Effects of cropping and tree density on earthworm community composition and densities in central Cameroon

Guei, AMOkoth, Peter F.Tondoh, Jérôme E.[Maize growth and production as influenced by earthworm-based integrated soil fertility management in tropical agroecosystems]Maize growth and production as influenced by earthworm-based integrated soil fertility management in tropical agroecosystems

We compared the physical and chemical properties of worm casts with the properties of the surface 0 to 10 centimeters of six soils along a toposequence developed on basement complex rocks in southwestern Nigeria. Casts contained less sand and more silt and clay than the surface soil. Bulk density...

An experiment was conducted in 1990 and 1991 at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria to study the role of earthworms in the decomposition of plant residue mulches with different qualities. Five mulches of Dactyladenia barteri, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leu...
