A Farmer’s Guide to Profitable Groundnut Production in Nigeria
Nigeria used to be the highest groundnut exporting country in Africa, but a combination of drought, rosette and other diseases wiped out groundnut production in the 1970s. ICRISAT, IAR and partners have developed and ...
Identify and promote drudgerry reducing small and medium scale sorghum production and processing mechanization technologies for use by women and youth
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate some selected planters on drudgery reduction, time required for sorghum sowing and its effect on yield parameters. Two (2) imported hands pushed planter (IHP) and two (2) locally ...
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 ...
Evaluation and demonstration of elite sorghums varieties and hybrids for specific production ecologies and uses
Demonstrations were conducted on 1ha and 0.5ha across 190 locations within Sudano-Sahelian agro-ecological zone, each technology were planted on a 50 x 25 plot, 5 fertility type/source and 9 sorghum varieties were involved ...

With an objective to understand the process on how can research (ers) in innovation platforms contribute in engaging crop-livestock stakeholders in mixed –farming systems of the semi-arid tropics of West Africa, five ...
Productivity and Water Use Efficiency of Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] Grown under Different Nitrogen Applications in Sudan Savanna Zone, Nigeria. International Journal of Agronomy
Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for sorghum growth and development but often becomes limiting due to low availability and loss. The effects of N fertilization on water use efficiency (WUE) and physiological and yield ...
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 ...
