Using a participatory approach and legume integration to increase the productivity of early maturing maize in the Nigerian Sudan Savannas
Drought, infestation of cereal crops by the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica, and poor soil fertility are the major constraints to maize production by smallholder farmers in the Sudan savannas of northern Nigeria. Four innovation platforms (IPs) were therefore established in 2008 in the Sudan savan...
