Howard, Thomas P.Hayward, Andrew PTordillos, AnthonyFragoso, Christopher A.Moreno, Maria ATohme, Joseph M.Kausch, Albert PMottinger, John PDellaporta, Stephen L.[Identification of the maize gravitropism gene lazy plant1 by a transposon-tagging genome resequencing strategy]Identification of the maize gravitropism gene lazy plant1 by a transposon-tagging genome resequencing strategy

Identification of early-maturing maize inbred lines based on multiple traits under drought and low N environments for hybrid development and population improvement. Can. J. Plant Sci. 91: 931942. Drought and low nitrogen stresses are major limiting factors to maize (Zea mays L.) production and pr...


Badu-Apraku, B.Akinwale, R.[Identification of early-maturing maize inbred lines based on multiple traits under drought and low N environments for hybrid development and population improvement]Identification of early-maturing maize inbred lines based on multiple traits under drought and low N environments for hybrid development and population improvement

Weeds compete for nutrients and soil moisture resulting to low maize yields in dry lands. A three year field study was initiated in 2009 at Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization, Kiboko to evaluate the effect of dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus L.) and open pollinated imazapyr her...


Mwangi, H.W.Kihurani, A.W.Wesonga, J.M.Ariga, E.S.Kanampiu, F.[Effect of Lablab purpureus L. cover crop and imidazolinone resistant (IR) maize on weeds in drought prone areas, Kenya]Effect of Lablab purpureus L. cover crop and imidazolinone resistant (IR) maize on weeds in drought prone areas, Kenya

This study was aimed at determining the effects of feeding an energy source on nitrogen utilization by Ethiopian Menz rams. Intake, digestibility, teff straw degradation, rumen pH and ammonia-nitrogen, nitrogen balance and purine derivatives were measured in the digestibility and nylon bag studie...


Bonsi, M.L.K.Osuji, P.O.[The effect of feeding cottonseed cake, sesbania or leucaena with crushed maize as supplement to teff straw]The effect of feeding cottonseed cake, sesbania or leucaena with crushed maize as supplement to teff straw

This study examined the effect of lablab hay supplementation of crossbred cows fed forages from cereal+forage legume intercropping (maize–lablab (ML) stover or oats–vetch (OV) hay) basal diets on feed intake, apparent digestibility, milk yield and milk composition of crossbred cows. Forty eight m...


Mpairwe, D.R.Sabiiti, E.N.Umunna, N.N.Tegegne, AzageOsuji, P.O.[Integration of forage legumes with cereal crops. I. Effects of supplementation with graded levels of lablab hay on voluntary food intake, digestibility, milk yield and milk composition of crossbred cows fed maize-lablab stover or oats-vetch hay ad libitum]Integration of forage legumes with cereal crops. I. Effects of supplementation with graded levels of lablab hay on voluntary food intake, digestibility, milk yield and milk composition of crossbred cows fed maize-lablab stover or oats-vetch hay ad libitum

In warm agricultural areas across the globe, maize, groundnut, and other crops become frequently contaminated with aflatoxins produced primarily by the fungus Aspergillus flavus. Crop contamination with those highly toxic and carcinogenic compounds impacts both human and animal health, as well as...


Aikore, M.O.S.Ortega-Beltran, A.Eruvbetine, D.Atehnkeng, J.Falade, T.D.O.Cotty, P.J.Bandyopadhyay, R.[Performance of broilers fed with maize colonized by either toxigenic or atoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus with and without an aflatoxin-sequestering agent]Performance of broilers fed with maize colonized by either toxigenic or atoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus with and without an aflatoxin-sequestering agent

The impacts of climate change on agriculture may add significantly to the development challenges of ensuring food security and reducing poverty. We show the possible impacts on maize production in Africa and Latin America to 2055, using high-resolution methods to generate characteristic daily wea...

Maize was planted at two, three or four seeds per hole with uniform spacing and either the smallest plant (S) or the second largest plant (L) was thinned from each hole after 8 and 14 weeks from the four seed plots and after 14 weeks for the three seed plots. Two plants per hole were left to matu...


Methu, J.N.Owen, E.Tanner, J.C.Abate, A.L.[The effect of increasing planting density and thinning on forage and grain yield of maize in Kenyan smallholdings]The effect of increasing planting density and thinning on forage and grain yield of maize in Kenyan smallholdings

This paper estimates the welfare impacts of adoption of maize-soybean rotation in eastern Zambia using data from on-farm trials and household survey data collected from over 800 households. The on-farm trials were conducted from 2012 to 2015 while the household survey was conducted in 2012. The s...

The objective of this study was to improve the availability of phosphorus (P) from rock phosphate (RP) through feeding, mixing and composting manure. The experiment was conducted as a 3 × 2 split-plot design. Manure was collected from 12 Boran steers (200 ± 4.5 kg live weight) fed a basal diet of...


Odongo, N.E.Hyoung-Ho, K.Choi, H.C.Straaten, P. vanMcBride, B.W.Romney, D.L.[Improving rock phosphate availability through feeding, mixing and processing with composting manure]Improving rock phosphate availability through feeding, mixing and processing with composting manure
