Traditional agriculture in rainfed uplands of India has been experiencing low agricultural productivity as the lands suffer from poor soil fertility, susceptibility to water erosion and other external pressures of development and climate change. A shift toward more sustainable cropping systems such as conservation agriculture production systems (CAPSs) may help in maintaining soil quality as we...

Soil N is a major factor limiting crop production in maize-based agriculture in the tropics. In this study, soil N dynamics and efficiency of N use by maize was investigated in five cropping systems (CSs) over two annual cropping phases. The CSs comprised cereal-legume (CS1, CS2, CS3), cereal-cereal (CS4) and cereal-bare fallow (CS5) rotations with three rates of N fertiliser application to mai...

Optimum planting geometries have been shown to increase crop yields in maize-soybean intercrop systems. However, little is known about whether changes in planting geometry improve the seasonal water use of maize and soybean intercrops. We conducted two different field experiments in 2013 and 2014 to investigate the effects of changes in planting geometry on water use efficiency (WUE) and evapot...

A field experiment entitled “Intercropping of Radish and Beetroot with Chilli under Prayagraj Agro-climatic conditions” was conducted from August, 2021 to February, 2022 at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj. The laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) three replications 12 treatments. consisted six ...

Cocoa is the most prominent export crop in Nigeria terms of its production and capacities. There dearth literature on profitability different cropping systems. This study therefore examined cocoa systems factors that affect revenue farmers for each The area was information were collected from one hundred eighty using well-structured question- naires. Descriptive statistics, budgetary analysis l...

Maize (Zea mays L.)–legume intercropping is common cropping system among smallholder farmers in West Africa. However, little known about the income risk reduction associated with maize–legume strip A 3-yr study was conducted Upper and Northern regions of Ghana to determine effect on productivity, income, using a randomized complete block design five replications each region. Seven treatments we...

Intercropping and biofertilizers application are the most important agricultural methods for moving towards minimizing risks of production increasing efficiency. Consequently, this experiment was conducted at one year in 2019. A factorial set treatments arranged within randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications to investigate effect different planting ratios safflower soybe...

In the West African sub-region, intercropping is a critical element in cowpea product profiles. This study aimed to investigate impact of with pearl millet on genetic correlations, heritability, and response selection. Thirty-five genotypes one variety were used create three cropping patterns: sole cowpea, 1:1 (one row cowpea), 2:4 (two rows four cowpea). Split-plot experiments conducted for tw...
