Nitrogen (N), being the most critical and essential nutrient for plant growth, largely determines the productivity in both extensive- and intensive- grassland systems. Nitrification and denitrification processes in the soil are the primary drivers generating reactive-N: NO3-, N2O, and NO, and is ...
The moist savannas of West and Central Africa have great potential for maize grain production due to high levels of radiation and reduced incidence of pests and diseases. However, soils in this zone are generally low in organic matter and cation exchange capacity in addition to land use intensifi...
Two field experiments were conducted during the 1993 and 1994 growing seasons at Samaru (7° 38' E; 11° 11' N), northern Nigeria, to evaluate N-use efficiency (kg grain per kg available soil N) and yield of 5 maize genotypes planted early in the season under five levels of N. The hybrid (8644-27) ...
Considerable progress has been made in breeding improved cowpea varieties in the last five years. The major breeding objectives were to develop high yielding cowpea varieties for sole cropping as well as intercropping with acceptable seed types and resistance to major diseases, insect pests, nema...
There are limitation to all methods currently available for estimating symbiotically fixed nitrogen. This paper evaluates the I5N dilution and N difference methods, and reports on the results of field experiments conducted with faba beans (Viciafaha) and peas (Pisum sativum). The objectives of th...
The early growth and symbiotic properties ofthree woody legumes, Cassia siamea, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala, were monitored on a farmer's field and in the screenhouse using the same soil. L. leucocephala and G.. septum nodulated freely and were heavily infected by native vesicular...
