Nutrient depletion is a major constraint to crop production for moist savanna soils, and inputs of nutrients are required to overcome this constraint. The impact of sole and combined applications of organic inputs (OIs) [fresh tree prunings, Pueraria phaseoloides (Roxb.) Benth. residues, and manu...

Crop response, tree biomass production and changes in soil fertility characteristics were monitored in a long-term (1986–2002) alley-cropping trial in Ibadan, Nigeria. The systems included two alley cropping systems with Leucaena leucocephala and Senna siamea on the one hand and a control (no-tre...

Maíz de alta calidad de proteína (Quality Protein Maize, en inglés, QPM), con el doble de triptófano y lisina que el maíz convencional, ha mejorado el estado nutricional de niños severamente desnutridos. Su impacto en el crecimiento y morbilidad de niños con desnutrición leve o moderado fue estud...

Objective. Ten typical recipes from southwestern Colombia were evaluated at CIAT in Palmira, Colombia between 2008 and 2009. Material and Methods. The recipes were prepared in a traditional manner, using quality protein maize (QPM, with more tryptophan and lysine) or common maize (CM); each of th...

Conservation agriculture (CA) based on hand-hoe prepared planting basins is being widely promoted in southern Africa, targeting resource-constrained farmers with limited access to draft power. This study was conducted across 15 districts covering four agro-ecological zones in Zimbabwe where paire...

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, a moth originating from the American continent, has recently invaded most African countries, where it is seriously threatening food security as a pest of cereals. The current management methods rely heavily on the use of synthetic insecticides but there i...

Increase in maize grain yield in West Africa can be achieved by developing maize varieties tolerant to low soil nitrogen (N) and improving soil fertility. Six maize populations were evaluated in two locations in Nigeria under low-N (45 kg N ha−1) and high-N (90 kg N ha−1) conditions to identify m...
