Cover crops, usually grown under conservation agriculture, may offer numerous benefits depending on the farming system. In this study the authors investigated residue decomposition, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) release from mucuna (Mucuna pruriens

Low soil fertility and weeds reduce maize yields on most smallholder (SH) irrigation schemes in South Africa (SA). While cover cropping can increase maize productivity, benefits from different types of mulch are not well understood, leading to challe

Little research attention has been given to growing summer cover crops as part of conservation agriculture systems. Three cover crops (sorghum [Sorghum bicolor], mucuna [Mucuna pruriens] and sunhemp [Crotalaria juncea]) were relay-intercropped into m

The practice of transplanting seedlings from nurseries was used as a strategy to improve stand establishment in pearl millet and sorghum in a semi arid area of Zimbabwe. A nursery experiment evaluated three watering regimes namely, watering after dep

This study explored the viability of intensifying pearl millet and sorghum production through use of nurseries and transplanting to address the problem of poor stand establishment. The experiments were carried out over two seasons, the 1999/2000 and

The study evaluated productivity of common onion cultivars grown from different set sizes. Three set sizes, namely large (3.6–5 mm), medium (2.6–3.5 mm) and small (2–2.5 mm) were separated from six onion cultivars Arad, Dina, Grano, Pyramid, Sh

Recent studies on pearl millet transplanting have shown that early harvesting is possible through establishment of nurseries and transplanting with early rains. These studies also showed that age of transplants and the time of transplanting are impor
