Effects of fallow type, sucker sanitation (hot-water treatment, HWT) and fertilizer
application on yield, root and corm health of two plantain cultivars were investigated.
Most yield parameters were strongest affected by fallow type with more producing
plants, higher bunch mass and yield after fo...

The impacts of rhizobium inoculation on growth and yield of chickpea have mainly been tested in experiments conducted in greenhouses or on research stations. We report the response of the crop to inoculation (I) and phosphorus fertilizer (P) application across a large number of smallholder’s farm...
