Agriculture in the dry savannas is intensifying in response to increasing populations of humans and livestock. As a result, increased productivity demands are placed upon integrated crop-livestock systems and more emphasis is on the roles of legumes such as cowpea. Cowpea has the potential to fun...

In plant improvement experimental designs are used to decompose the total phenotypic variance observed in field experiments into at least two components: A genetic and a non-genetic component that is attributable to the spatial variation or environment. Recently, new methodologies for the modelli...

Forage-based livestock production plays a key role in national and regional economies, for food security and poverty alleviation. Livestock production is also considered as a major contributor to agricultural GHG emissions, however. While demand for livestock products is predicted to continue to ...
