The Sudano–Sahelian agroecological zone is characterized by low and variable rainfall regimes and P deficiency. The present study complements previous research efforts and the objective was (i) to use the Newhall Simulation Model (NSM) to character

Pearl millet (Penisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.) is a major food crop grown on impoverished sandy soils in the Sahel. A 9-year long-term study was undertaken in the Sahel to test the hypothesis that integrated use of millet crop residues retained on farm

It has been commonly accepted that crop rotations reduce risk compared with monoculture systems. Quantifying this phenomenon requires that effects of yield stability on risk (positive or negative) arising from rotating crops be separated from other r

Increasing rural populations and the associated agricultural intensification and reduction in fallow periods of cropping systems in Senegal may be degrading soils. This may be related to the per capita decrease in food production of the semi-arid Sub

Crop performance in rainfed cropping systems generally is dependent on rainfall amount and distribution. The objective of this study was to analyze the long-term consequences of rainfall expressed as a standardized precipitation index (SPI) and ferti

Soils of the groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) L. basin of Senegal are impoverished with low fertility and organic matter content. Previously, farmers maintained yields of millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. and groundnut with subsidized inorganic fert

Cropping systems, nitrogen (N) fertilizer levels, and climate largely dictate patterns of N use and influence problems arising from N fertilization. Nitrogen use was assessed in cropping systems with a nitrogen removal-index (NRI), defined as the rat

Crop rotation offers several advantages to improve farmers' systems worldwide. The positive attributes of rotations are usually dependent upon crop choices, cropping sequence, soil fertility management, and weather factors. Of these, weather is most

SUMMARYSustainable crop production on Rwandan oxisols is limited by widespread soil acidity caused by high levels of exchangeable aluminium. This study was designed to test the effectiveness of an indigenous lime material in counteracting the acidity

The physical and biological heterogeneity of the Northern Highlands of Rwanda has hampered the development and extension of new crop cultivars and new cultural practices for crop management as the performance of new cultivars and new technologies acr
