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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Targeting Drought-Tolerant Maize Varieties in Southern Africa: A Geospatial Crop Modeling Approach Using Big Data
Maize is a major staple food crop in southern Africa and stress tolerant improved varieties have the potential to increase productivity, enhance livelihoods and reduce food insecurity. This study uses big data in refining ...
Performance of groundnut genotypes under millet based intercropping systems in Sudan Savanna of Nigeria
Spatial arrangement of crops is critical in
determining the growth and yield of lower crops in
intercropping. The productivity of two spatial
arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was
studied in the Sudan savanna ...
