The application of zinc to some selected legumes (cowpea - Vignaunguiculata L. Walp., soybean – Glycine max Merr. or mungbean Vigna radiate Wilczek) intercropped with upland rice (OryzaesativaL.) may improve the presence residual nitrogen in cropping system andprotein in-take farmers faced protein and mineral deficiency, especially their daily food menu. Information on effect is inadequate...

Smallholder farmers in the Guinea savanna practise cereal-legume intercropping to mitigate risks of crop failure in mono-cropping. The productivity of cereal-legume intercrops could be influenced by the spatial arrangement of the intercrops and the soil fertility status. Knowledge on the effect of soil fertility status on intercrop productivity is generally lacking in the Guinea savanna despite...

Cowpea is a multifaceted crop; however, considerable challenges affect the production of this crop despite its comparatively better adaptation to harsh environments. Most smallholder farmers in West Africa cultivate intercropping systems where low plant population does not allow full expression cultivars’ yield potential. This because most varieties currently grown intercrop have been developed...

Choosing the species suitable for cultivation in intercropped systems is a critical limiting factor grain and forage production. This study aimed to evaluate growth, nodulation, production, physiology of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) guandu bean (Cajanus cajan) with buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) Eucalyptus urograndis (Eucalyptus grandis × urophylla) an integrated production system. Two experime...

One filed experiment was carried out to study the effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi and three preceding winter crops, i.e., Meskawy cultivar Egyptian clover berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.), Careem sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) Sakha 94 wheat (Triticum aestivum) five fertilizer combinations as treatments NPK mineral bio which included 100% (T1), 75% + arbuscular mycorrhiza (AMFs) (T2), 50% ...

Intercropping induces the diseases decreasing, and yield increasing, may partly due to the improvement of microclimate in fields. In order to understand the mechanism and efficiency of resource utilization in intercropping of maize (Zea mays) and soybean (Glycine max), a field experiment was conducted as factorial on the bases of randomized complete block design of three patterns with three rep...

Resource-poor farmers who are living in the harsh environments of West African Sahel (WAS) depend on subsistence orientated, low-input farming systems for meeting their livelihood needs. These largely extractive have resulted nutrient depletion, soil fertility decline, low productivity and land degradation. A study conducted over 25 years Niger, aimed to evaluate long-term effects organic miner...

The use of crop practices to reduce the weed community is an ally integrated management. Given this, study aimed identify a composition and infestation in soybean area under different predecessor crops implanted years. experiment was carried out 2019/2020 harvest Dourados, MS. experimental design randomized block with nine treatments. treatments were composed autumn-winter crops. cultivation: c...
