Comparative Economic Study of Mixed and Sole Cassava Cropping Systems in Nigeria
2014Agricultural economists continue to argue if mixed or sole cassava cropping system is more economically profitable and in terms of yield and returns to farmers particularly for Nigeria which is the world’s largest producer of the crop. The study was carried out to analyse the economics comparatively of mixed and sole cassava cropping systems in Nigeria.

Nitrogen Yield and Land Use Efficiency in Annual Sole Crops and Intercrops
Agronomy Journal, 2006Nitrogen is the most limiting nutrient for crop production on the northern Great Plains of North America. This study was initiated to determine if N yield and land use efficiency for N could be improved by manipulating crop diversity using three annual crops (wheat, Triticum aestivum L.; canola, Brassica napus L.; and field pea, Pisum arvense L ...

Changes in Soil Physical Properties After Intercropping as Against Sole Cropping
Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, 1989AbstractTwo field trials under irrigated conditions were conducted in red sandy loam soils of Palathurai series (Typic Haplustalf) at Coimbatore to evaluate the changes in physical properties when intercropping was introduced to a pure crop system. The results of the first crop indicated that intercropping of sorghum (CSH 5)‐lab lab (CO 9) system was ...

Sesame Sole Crop and Intercrop Response to Fertilizer in Semi‐Arid Niger
Agronomy Journal, 2019Core Ideas Sesame sole crop was highly responsive to fertilizer phosphorus.The profit potential for applied phosphorus was greater for sole crop than intercrop.Sesame did not respond to fertilizer nitrogen and potassium.Sesame‐pearl millet had greater productivity than the sole crops.Manure phosphorus had a high fertilizer phosphorus equivalent. Sesame

Effects of Plant Population on Sole-crop Cassava in Sierra Leone
Experimental Agriculture, 1978SUMMARYEffects of plant population on mean yield and yield components of 2-year sole cassava crops were studied on Njala upland soils of Sierra Leone in two experiments. Increasing plant population of multi-shoot Cocoa cassava over 7000/ha decreased all the parameters studied except top/root weight ratio, which increased.

Case study of maize crop establishment by using solely horse draft force
2023Despite we are in the era of tractorized agriculture with robotization taking place, there are some niches where still the animal-powered farming exists. Recent researchers have revealed that horse-powered crop farming offers much benefits to the recovery of porosity of currently compacted soils, lessens the fossil energy consumption and emissions of ...

The influence of subsoiling a plough-sole on the yield of agricultural crops
Soil Technology, 1990Abstract The effect of subsoiling a plough pan on penetration resistance, root development and crop yield was studied on two Belgian silt loam soils. The removal of the plough layer, characterized by a penetration resistance >3 MPa , resulted in a better root development beneath the former plough-layer and a higher water and nutrient ...

Maize-bean intercrop response to nutrient application relative to maize sole crop response
Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 2017Maize-bean intercropping is important in sub-Saharan Africa. Maize sole crop (MSC) nutrient response has been much studied but data is scarce for determination of intercrop functions. A procedure for adapting MSC functions for the maize-bean intercrop was developed.

Effects of Delayed Hand Weeding on Sole-crop Cassava in Sierra Leone
Experimental Agriculture, 1978SUMMARYThe effects of delayed hand weed control at 30-, 45-, 60-, 90-day intervals, and no weeding, on sole-crop cassava, was studied in two experiments on the upland soils of Sierra Leone. Timing and frequency of weeding were important in influencing root number and root yield, and delayed weed control depressed both attributes. The critical period of

Maize and pigeon pea sole crop and intercrop nutrient response functions for Tanzania
Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, 2017Low soil fertility constrains crop productivity in Tanzania. Fertilizer recommendations were lacking for pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) sole crop (PPSC) and intercrop. Trials were conducted in eastern and northern Tanzania to determine: maize (Zea mays L.) (MSC), PPSC and intercrop (MzPpI) nutrient response functions; the agronomic and ...
