Nematodes and weeds control effects of Pueraria phaseoloides and Flemingia macrophylla fallows on establishment, survival and yield of plantain by Banful, B., Hauser, S., Ofori, K., Kumaga, F.

“…A trial was carried out from January 2002 to October 2005 under two land-use systems (LUS) comprising 4–5 year-old bush fallow, dominated by Chromolaena odorata (L.) R. M. King & H. Rob, and a 20 year-old secondary forest, in three villages in southern Cameroon, to assess the effectiveness of Pueraria phaseoloides and Flemingia macrophylla as planted fallows for weed suppression and reduction in nematode damage of the plantain root system, and determine the yield response of different plantain sucker types to the weed suppression and reduced nematode damage. …”

Co-solving groundwater depletion and seasonal flooding through an innovative managed aquifer recharge approach: converting pilot to a regional solution in the Ram Ganga Sub-basin by Gangopadhyay, Prasun K., Sharma, Bharat R., Pavelic, Paul

“…Low per capita surface water storage (225 m3/capita1), few sites for additional storages facilities and depleting groundwater aquifers reduce the resilience of the communities to alleviate the day-to-day short age and larger seasonal shocks. …”

Response of yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) to various periods of weed interference in an intercropping with maize (Zea mays L.), okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench), and sweet... by Orkwor, G., Okereke, O., Ezedinma, C.I., Hahn, S., Ezumah, H., Akobundu, I.

“…The field trials were conducted for two cropping seasons at the research farm of the National Root Crops Institute, Umudike, Nigeria, 5° 29' N latitude and 7° 32' E on an altitude of 122 m above sea level to determine the critical period of weed interference in yam/maize/okra/sweet potato intercrop; assess the crop yield losses due to uncontrolled associated weeds; and assess the wrong timing of the removal of weeds and the ability of sweet potato to suppress weeds as a planofile in the mixture. …”
