Outlines a re-evaluation and a re-calculation of recently published hypothesis concerning the potential impact of alley farming on maize yields. Gives modifications and analysis based on the alley farming research of the International Livestock Center for Africa's (ILCA) Humid Zone Programme in N...

Evaluates alley farming models with small ruminants based on field and experimental data from southwest Nigeria, and compares them to basic alley cropping and to fallow systems. Describes the basic fallow model, the basic alley cropping model without animals, the alley farming model with goats, a...

A virus with filamentous particles approximately 750 nm long was isolated from African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) with `chlorotic ring' leaf symptoms in south-western Colombia. The virus was mechanically transmitted from oil palm to brachiaria, maize, sorghum, and sugarcane (Gramineae) but not ...

One experiment was completed with 56 weanling Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshire swine and two with weanling Sprague-Dawley rats to determine the nutritive value of Colombian floury-2 corn in comparison with that of Colombian opaque-2 and Colombian common corn. In both rats and swine Colombian floury-2...

The following nine main cropping systems were evaluated: maize/maize in rotation without N-fertilizer (control); maize/cowpea in rotation where maize received N-fertilizer; maize/pigeonpea intercropping without N-fertilizer; maize/cowpea/pigeonpea in rotation where maize received N-fertilizer; ma...

Nitrogen (N) has been gradually depleted from West African soils and now poses serious threats to food production. Many ways of increasing N supply (e.g. judicious use of inorganic fertilizers and nitrogen-fixing plants) have been tried in West African farming systems. Herbaceous and woody legume...

Nitrogen deficiency severely limits production of the bean maize association grown by small-scale farmers in upland Peru. Sixty-four bean Rhizobium isolates were evaluated for induction of a plant growth response in pots of soil from the area and 14 of the most promising strains of these were tes...

Strigolactones released from plant rootstrigger both seed germination of parasitic weeds such as Striga spp. and hyphal branching of the symbionts arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Generally, strigolactone composition in exudates is quantitatively and qualitatively different among plants, which ...

Maize stover is used to feed farm animals and the improvement of its quality is an important breeding goal. The main objective of our study was to evaluate a new near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy sample presentation unit for measuring feed quality of maize stover. In this context, we investigated ...
