Striga hermonthica causes serious crop yield losses in West Africa. Hand pulling, an effective method for the reduction of light infestations, might be encouraged if farmers could use this weed as livestock feed. This study evaluated the chemical composition and the voluntary intake and digestion...

Discusses the traditonal management of cattle manure in a cropping system in central Nigeria in conjunction with the agronomic benefits and problems of manure use.
Fields surveys were conducted to assess the incidence of commonly known legume viruses on cowpeas and weed hosts within and around the cowpeas farms in nine locations across the three agro-ecological zones of Nigeria. Of 315 cowpea leaf samples collected and tested for eight viruses, 69.5% were f...

The type and magnitude of losses in cassava caused by Cyperus rotundus were determined. Two field expt. were conducted at Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario-Caribia exptl. station, Magdalena (Colombia) at 35 m.a.s.l. The location has an annual mean temp. of 280 degrees Celsius, mean annual precipi...

Parasitic weeds in smallholder rice production systems, of which Striga asiatica, Striga hermonthica and
Rhamphicarpa fistulosa are the main representatives, form an increasing problem for food and income
security in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The objective of this paper is to identify institution...

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...

In the hinterland of Lubumbashi characterized by peasant agriculture floristic investigations were conducted in common bean crop (Phaseolus vulgaris) during the 2014 growing season in 12 fields spread over two roads which: Kasumbalesa and Kipushi. Thus 10 quadrats 1m side were randomly placed in ...

The 13C natural labeling technique in combination with modeling could potentially be used to analyze SOM changes in long-term experiments involving complex cropping systems such as agroforestry systems. It requires information on quantity and 13C abundance of all plant materials entering the soil...
