Soybean yields on smallholder farms in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) are far below the potential yield thus creating a huge yield gap. Interventions are thus needed to bridge this yield gap and ascertain the factors influencing the yield variation. This study evaluated the on farm response of soybean t...

Chickpea is the world’s third most important food legume next to bean and soybean. Ethiopia is the largest producer of chickpea in Africa. However, chickpea production is very low due to poor soil fertility, poor nodulation and lack of inoculation with effective rhizobia. In this study a total of...

Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus (PPSMV), a species of the genus
Emaravirus, is the causal agent of sterility mosaic disease (SMD) of
pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp]. This disease, dubbed the
‘green plague’, as the infected plants remain in the vegetative
state without flower production, ha...

Grain legumes contribute significantly to total world food production. Legumes are the primary source of dietary proteins in many developing countries, where protein hunger and malnutrition are widespread. Grain legumes germplasm constitute ~15% of the 7.4 M accessions preserved globally. Nearly,...

Two crop rotation cycles were evaluated to determine the effect of cropping systems and N
fertilization on the yield and efficiency of N in maize. Maize was grown on plots which had previously
supported monocrops of two genotypes each of soybean (TGx 1448-2E and SAMSOY-2) and cowpea
(IT 96D-724 a...

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important grain legume cultivated on approximately 1.24 million ha in
Africa (1). Malawi ranks fourth in area of production in Africa, with 75,000 ha in 2009 (1). Soybean is
also gaining importance in Mozambique and several other southern African countries due to

Soybean yields could benefit from the use of improved varieties, phosphate-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants. In this study, we evaluated the results of widespread testing of promiscuous soybean varieties with four treatments: no inputs (control); SSP fertilizer (P); inoculants (I) and SSP plus...

Soybean cultivation in Mozambique is dominated by smallholder farmers who use little or no inputs such as bacterial inoculants, often resulting in low yields. This study assessed the ability of TGx and non-TGx soybean genotypes to nodulate with native rhizobia in Mozambican soils, and evaluated t...
