Presents ILCA's research study in the subhumid zone of west Africa regarding the Fulani of Abet. Includes settlement and land use, farmer-interactions, cropping, fallow & crop residue grazing, hired labour, herd management, herd productivity, inovation design & testing, supplementary feeding, leg...
The major limitation to ruminant production in many tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australia is poor nutrition. Annual growth rates of animals are restricted by the low nitrogen and high fiber content of the native grasses and crop residues that form the basis of the diets in these regions....
Legume tissue quality is a key factor for enhancement of feed resources and contribution to soil fertility in mixed crop-livestock production systems. To compare methods used by soil scientists and animal-nutritionists to assess quality of plant materials, three woody tropical legumes with contra...
Evidence is presented about the presence of Phaseolus microcarpus in Costa Rica, while it was previously reported northwards in other Central American countries and Mexico. Fourteen populations are currently known, four from the Peninsula of Nicoya, and ten are in the tropical dry forest of the m...
Agricultural intensification of farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa is a prerequisite to alleviate rural poverty and improve livelihoods. Legumes have shown great potential to enhance system productivity. On-farm experiments were conducted in different agro-ecological zones (AEZ) in Western Ken...
The effect of temperature on the development and survival of the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was examined by rearing cohorts on a semi-synthetic diet containing cowpea grain and leaf at different constant temperatures in the laboratory. The developmental ...
Insecticidal lectins were isolated from 20 resistant Vigna and non‐Vigna legumes and tested againstn 3 pests of cowpea namely: Maruca vitrata, Callosobruchus maculatus and Clavigralla tomentosicollis. Crude lectins were separated from seeds using sodium chloride extraction, ammonium sulfate fract...
