The climate of the West African Sudan savannah (annual rainfall of 600–900 mm and a monomodal rainy season of 3–4 months) is characterized by frequent long- and short-term droughts. Crop growth in the Alfisols and associated soil groups is further constrained by soil compaction, low soil fertilit...

Reports the findings of a mission carried out by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Zimbabwe to gather genetic resources of cowpea, rice, bambarra groundnut and their wild relatives. 461 samples of 365 species were collected. Sampling was made over 140 sites of both natural ve...
The effect of alley cropping with seven combinations of Acioa and Leucaena hedgerows and a control (no hedgerow) treatment on sequentially cropped maize and cowpea was studied in 1985 and 1986. The trial was carried out on an Alfisol in the humid zone of southwestern Nigeria. Hedgerows were estab...
Collecting missions under the auspices of the IITA to Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Chad, Swaziland, Lesotho and Somalia covered over 24 000 km and collected 2023 accessions of cultivated crops and wild material. Details are given for each of the 6 missions, with information on routes taken, regions visite...

Measurements of incident solar radiation were made in sequentially cropped maize (Zea mays L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) planted between hedgerows of shrubs in an alley cropping pattern. The incident solar-radiation profile was examined and its effect on crop yield determined. The s...
