Three phases of Rhizobium inoculation trials were carried out as part of a programme to select forage legume germplasm adapted to acid, infertile Oxisols of tropical America. Firstly, a range of tropical forage legumes were evaluated for their response to N fertilization or inoculation with strai...

The seed yields and limitations to seed production for four tropical grass cultivars were defined via a replicated field experiment conducted over three years at the Cerrados Agricultural Research Centre near Brasilia (latitude 15° 36' S; longitude 47° 42' W) in a tropical savanna region. The fou...

There is a limited knowledge on the inheritance of traits with agronomic relevance in cassava. A diallel study among 10 parental clones was conducted in the acid-soils environment in the eastern savannas of Colombia. Thirty clones were obtained for each F1 cross. Each clone was represented by six...

Although there has been a growing interest in the study of soil fauna spatial distribution during the past decade, the identification of the environmental driving factors behind the population patterning are difficult to highlight. Soil physico-chemical heterogeneity is partly responsible for str...

The structure and seasonal changes of earthworm communities were evaluated in a natural savanna and in a improved grass-legume pasture in a Colombian oxisol over a period of 18 months. One plot of 90×90 m was isolated in each of the systems and each month five samples of 1 m2×0.5 m and ten of 20×...

This study was carried out in the Eastern Plains of Colombia and assessed the impact of agricultural intensification on the structure of earthworm communities. Earthworms were hand-sorted in a variety of agroecosystems of increasing intensity, from natural savanna to pastures and annual crops. An...

Aluminum toxicity limits plant growth in acid soils. Because of their advanced state of weathering, acid soils of the tropics also tend to be deficient in nutrients. A realistic assessment of plant adaptation to these soils would therefore require Al-toxic conditions under which growth is simulta...

Phosphorus (P) deficiency and aluminium (Al) toxicity are widespread in Oxisols of the tropical savannas of eastern Colombia. A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of Al toxicity and P deficiency on plant growth and nutrient uptake of two Brachiaria species. To examine the infl...

The functioning of trees as a safety-net for capturing nutrients leached beyond the reach of crop roots was evaluated by investigating changes in exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, and K) and pH in a wide range of medium to long term alley cropping trials in the derived savanna of West Africa, compare...
