In the moist savanna zone with a 180 to 190 day growing period, early season cowpea immediately followed by a late season cereal crop can maximize the benefit of the legume to the cereal. Traditional cereal crops for this system are millet and sorghum but new early maize varieties can also be use...

The benefit of planted fallow with legume cover crops may be limited on P deficient soil. A trial was conducted at two P deficient sites in northern Nigeria to test the hypothesis that application of P to legume cover crop fallow can substitute for N application to subsequent maize. Mainplots con...

Soybean can contribute to soil N, which may partly be used to improve maize production in northeast Nigeria. However, the efficiency of soybean to fix N can be limited by soil P deficiency. This study evaluated the effect of P application and soybean cultivars on dry matter and grain yield of sub...

The potential of alley cropping maize and cowpea with the giant Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam) de Wit) cultivar K-28 was studied on an Entisol (Psammentic Ustorthent) in Southern Nigeria. In this trial the crops were grown in 4 m wide alleys formed by periodically pruned leucaena hedgerows...

Soil fertility management systems (SFMS) can influence the community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Hence, long-term SFMS was studied. The SFMS comprised three legume combinations, urea application and solely maize as control. Spores were extracted by wet sieving, characterized ...

This paper focuses on the cassava-maize cropping systems in East Africa, the benefits of cassava cultivation in improving soil fertility and different options in improving sustainability. The use of models to show the improvement of soil fertility when planting cassava and that cassava grows bett...

Rice and maize intercrop is a common feature of traditional upland rice cultivation in Nigeria. Stemborer larvae cause significant yield loss in rice. The study aimed at identifying stemborer resistant status of upland NERICA rice varieties and evaluating the effectiveness of maize as a trap crop...


Nwilene, F.E.Onasanya, A.Togola, A.Oyetunji, O.Semon, M.Tamo, M.Bright, E.O.Ofodile, S.[Effect of intercropping maize and cassava with upland NERICA rice varieties on stemborer attack in southwest Nigeria]Effect of intercropping maize and cassava with upland NERICA rice varieties on stemborer attack in southwest Nigeria

The growth environment of cassava intercropped with maize differs from monocultures of cassava. A trial was conducted to determine the effects of intercropping with maize on micro-environment, growth and yield of cassava. Radiant energy reaching the soil surface and maximum diurnal soil temperatu...

Maize is an important crop for food and nutritional security in India. Strong market demand and resilience of maize to abiotic and biotic stresses have increased the area and production of maize in the country over the past decade. Productivity of maize, however, has not increased proportionately...
