The following nine main cropping systems were evaluated: maize/maize in rotation without N-fertilizer (control); maize/cowpea in rotation where maize received N-fertilizer; maize/pigeonpea intercropping without N-fertilizer; maize/cowpea/pigeonpea in rotation where maize received N-fertilizer; ma...

Restoration of terre de barre fertility using pigeonpea grown in rotation or intercropping with maize in the derived savanna of Benin
Nitrogen (N) has been gradually depleted from West African soils and now poses serious threats to food production. Many ways of increasing N supply (e.g. judicious use of inorganic fertilizers and nitrogen-fixing plants) have been tried in West African farming systems. Herbaceous and woody legume...

Nitrogen deficiency severely limits production of the bean maize association grown by small-scale farmers in upland Peru. Sixty-four bean Rhizobium isolates were evaluated for induction of a plant growth response in pots of soil from the area and 14 of the most promising strains of these were tes...

This study examined the effects of lablab hay and graded levels of wheat bran supplementation on feed intake, feed degradation characteristics, apparent digestibility, milk yield and milk composition of crossbred cows fed forages from cereal crops+legume intercropping (maize/lablab (ML) stover or...

Soils of the moist savanna of West Africa are poor in nitrogen; the natural fallow regeneration time has shortened; fertilizer costs and scarcity makes nitrogen (N) fertilizer input inadequate; and crop yields are low. In the region, lablab (Lablab purpureus L., sweet also known as Dolichos labla...

Stover quality traits are important in breeding programmes of maize cultivars. However, conventional procedures for evaluation of stover quality are expensive and thus limit the full exploitation of the
available genetic variability. Our objective was to assess the potential of near-infrared spec...

Soil fertility problems resulting in low maize yields in smallholder farms are common in the West
African moist savanna. The effectiveness of commercial foliar fertilizers in improving maize
growth and yield was evaluated in three savanna agro-ecological zones of Nigeria in two steps.
In step one...

Extra-early maize (Zea mays L) tolerant to low-N and drought could stabilize yields in sub-Saharan Africa. Studies were conducted under drought and low-N conditions in Nigeria for three years to determine the potential of 90 extra-early inbreds for hybrid production and evaluate the performance o...
