Banana-legume intercropping systems are commonly practiced in the highland zones of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to maximize land use and intensify crop production. However, banana leaves are pruned during legume intercropping to improve sunlight penetration for the legume. On-farm ex...
Common bean and soybean yield poorly on smallholder farms in Rwanda. We evaluated the benefits of inoculation combined with P fertilizer and manure on yields of common bean and soybean in three agro-ecological zones (AEZs), and their residual effects on a subsequent maize crop. In the first seaso...
Certain rhizobacteria exert considerable influence on plant growth and development, particularly under limiting conditions. The effects of some indigenous soil microbial isolates and commercially produced microbial inoculants, referred to as bio-inoculants, on the growth and dry matter yield (DMY...
Several diets were tested for rearing the legume pod borer, Maruca testulalis (Geyer). After initial selection of a soyflour‐based diet, further research was conducted to determine whether cowpea flour could be substituted for soyflour. Three levels of cowpea flour were tested; 25, 38 and 50 g of...
Even though potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)-based intercropping systems are widely practised in developing countries, only a few studies have focused on legumes as the companion intercrops. This study was conducted to assess the effect of incorporating legumes into the potato production system on g...
Growing maize (Zea mays L.) in association with legume trees in agroforestry arrangements has been shown to increase yields in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa; however, the stability of crop yields has not been critically analyzed in the various cropping systems that integrate leguminous trees. ...
Farmer participation in experimenting with technologies in Mono province (Benin) increased when attention was focused on their major problems. One such problem is soil degradation caused by over-exploitation of land. Four different low external input technologies, all with leguminous components a...
Principal component analysis was employed to study the variation patterns in 18 cowpea cultivars developed for resistance to Maruca testulalis Geyer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) based on 7 developmental parameters of the pest on floral buds, flowers and sliced pods. On the whole, three developmental ...
