Soyabean response to rhizobium inoculation across sub-Saharan Africa: Patterns of variation and the role of promiscuity
Improving bacterial nitrogen fixation in grain legumes is central to sustainable intensification of agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. In the case of soyabean, two main approaches have been pursued: first, promiscuous ...
Leaf Gas Exchange Measurements
Three soybean varieties with varying maturity duration were planted in two agro-ecologies in Mozambique: Ruace, (15.2355o S, 36.6886o E), Zambezia province and Muriaze (15.2729o S, 39.3173o E), Nampula province to understand ...
Soybean Variety Evaluation for Integration into the Cropping Systems
The PAVT trial was conducted at two sites in Mozambique: Angonia, Tete province and Namarripe, Zambezia province. According to the Soils Atlas of Africa, the predominant soil type at these sites in Angonia and Namarripe ...
Bradyrhizobium inoculants enhance grain yields of soybean and cowpea in northern Ghana
This study evaluated the symbiotic effectiveness and economic evaluation of Rhizobium
inoculants with the objective of recommending the most effective inoculant strain
for soybean and cowpea production in Northern Ghana. ...
What role for legumes in sustainable intensification? – case studies in Western Kenya and Northern Ghana for PROIntensAfrica
N2Africa was selected as a case study within the PROIntensAfrica initiative. In this case study, N2Africa focused on the potential role of legumes in sustainable intensification. The case study was conducted in two of the ...
Response of groundnut to plant density and phosphorous application in the Sudan savanna zone of Nigeria
Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not
increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut
varieties ...
Release of 1 or 2 stable soybean varieties in each region
Twelve genotypes were planted at two sites in Malawi, Dowa and Nkotakota, under zero phosphorus application and at 24 kg/ha phosphorus application. Due to the severe drought, trials at Nkotakota were written off. The results ...
CRP-GLDC Annual Report 2021
The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) is an international consortium led by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and implemented by CGIAR, and ...
Assessment of millet-groundnut intercropping systems efficiency in Jigawa and Kano states.
In this study, an intercropping experiment consisting of millet and groundnut was established at Dutse (Jigawa) and
Minjibir (Kano) to compare the efficiencies of intercropping systems. Two intercropping systems (2:2 and ...
Genetic diversity of physical, nutritional and functional properties of cowpea grain and relationships among the traits
Cowpea is traditionally important as an affordable source of protein and minerals and of cash
income in sub-Saharan Africa, especially for small-scale farmers who have limited options for
food and cash crops. The development ...
