Effect of rotation of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) with fonio (Digitaria exilis) and millet (Pennisetum glaucum) on Macrophomina phaseolina densities and cowpea yield [PDF]
Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal rot, causes great damage to cowpea in the Sahel. One of the few options to manage the disease is by cropping nonhosts that may reduce the soil inoculum below a damage threshold level.

Co‐applying half‐rate BMC layer: (i) Reduced nutrient inputs and (ii) produced similar yield. ABSTRACT Developing high‐efficiency fertilizers with less environmental footprint is essential for sustainable cropping systems. This study evaluated a biochar mineral complex (BMC) to reduce nutrient leaching and increase nutrient use efficiency (NUE), yield,

ABSTRACT Soil degradation threatens agricultural productivity across Africa, necessitating effective conservation strategies. However, gaps remain in understanding the mechanisms that drive agricultural technology adoption and dissemination. This study applies the theories of innovation diffusion, social networks, and risk aversion to examine the ...
