Conservation tillage is regarded as the best practice for crop production in drylands. However, their effect on the green gram (Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek) has not been much documented in ASALs of Kenya. A field study was conducted during the 2018-201

Leaf senescence regulates grain yield. However, the modulation of leaf senescence in sorghum under legume-based intercrop systems and nitrogen (N) fertilization is not known. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of intercropping t

Breeding has significantly improved drought tolerance in green gram but marked yield losses continue due to damage by insect pests. Important pests of green gram are pod borers, Maruca vitrata (F.), aphids, Aphis gossypii Glover and whiteflies, Trial

Yield in dryland wheat could be improved through a better understanding of crop responses to no-till (NT), stubble retention and nitrogen (N). Field experiments were established at Roseworthy and Karoonda in South Australia to evaluate wheat crop res

Senescence is a key physiological process that can regulate crop grain yield. Patterns of leaf senescence and its association with grain yield for a short maturity maize hybrid were investigated in a factorial combination of two tillage treatments (c

Controversy around the benefits of NT and stubble retention, and weaknesses in the underpinning science arise from a limited understanding of the mechanisms that operate in these systems. Two experiments were conducted at the Kenya Agricultural and L

Cropped area under no-till (NT) is increasing worldwide, but the extent to which breeding for yield is selecting for adaptation to NT is unclear. In addition, the consequences of selection for yield and that of tillage system on senescence patterns a

SUMMARYConservation agriculture (CA) is a promising technology for controlling soil degradation, mitigating drought, increasing crop yield and reducing production costs. We hypothesized that adopting CA system would improve system productivity and ef
