Adoption of animal traction in sub-Saharan Africa has historically been slow and stagnant. This is despite considerable efforts by researchers and development planners to introduce the technique among smallholder semi-subsistence farmers in a large number of countries. Based on a simulation model...

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to simulate water balances in different cropping patterns under current and future climates in West Seti river Sub-basin, which is located in the far western region of Nepal. The results show that total precipitation over rice, maize, millet, whe...

Gas production profiles were obtained from in vitro fermentation of stems of six genotypes of sorghum and millet grown at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), India. The ranking of sorghum and millet genotypes by cumulative gas production was consistent ...

Eighteen oxen were allotted to three treatment groups according to their body condition: poor, medium and good. Work output, speed, live weight and body condition were measured during 7 weeks when animals worked 4 days/ week, 4 h/day, pulling loads equivalent to 12.5 kg/100 kg live weight. The an...

A shortage of available labour early in the growing season, when effort is directed to the weeding of cereal crops, appeared to be a primary constraint to increased forage cropping by smallholder farmers in the semi-arid zone of central Mali. In experiments with millet, the labour requirement for...
