1. EFFECT OF INTERCROPPING SORGHUM WITH COWPEA AND NITROGEN APPLICATION ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor (L.) MOENCH)Despite the development of improved varieties, the yield of sorghum has remained significantly low in dryland environments due to low soil fertility and inappropriate cropping practices. However, implementation of precision agriculture (PA) within the context of companion cropping with legumes and fine-tuning the supply of fertilizer nitrogen (N) has the potential to increase sorghum yield in these environments. Nonetheless, the effect sorghum-cowpea compatibility, fertilizer N use and their interaction... P.E. Moi , O.M. Kitonyo, G.N. Chemining’wa, J.M. Kinama |
2. Soil fertility mapping of Dry savannah zone of TogoIncreasing agricultural productivity and therefore the production requires a good knowledge of the soil fertility status and a sustainable nutrients management. The objective of this study is to map spatial distribution of some selected soil fertility parameters in the dry savannah agro-ecological zone that covers the regions of Savanes and Kara in Togo. Soil fertility parameters such as pH, available phosphorus (P), exchangeable potassium (K) and organic matter were determined in soil samples... K.K. Ganyo, K.A. Ablede , K. Koudjega, S. Ani, K.

3. Productivity and Profitability of Maize (Zea Mays L.) As Affected by Planting and Fertilization Schemes on the Ferralsols of Southern TogoA sustainable improvement of crop productivity and profitability in the current context of climate change and land degradation is necessary to meet the food and cash needs of a ceaselessly growing population. In order to help achieve this aim, we carried out a 2-year experiment (2020 and 2021) at the University of Lomé Agronomic Experiment Station. The experiment was set up in a split-plot design, composed of eight (08) treatments in three (03) replicates each. Two planting schemes (SC1=... M. Mazinagou, M.J. Sogbedji, A. N'gbendema |
4. Determination of Major Limiting Nutrients and Site-specific Fertilizer Recommendation Towards Optimizing Rice Production in the Irrigated Perimeter of the Zio Valley (Togo)Adoption of appropriate inorganic fertilization schemes is essential to improving fertilizer use efficiency and crop performance. This study aims to contribute to the improvement of rice yields in the irrigated perimeter of the Zio Valley in Togo through appropriate inorganic fertilization. Nutrient omission trials were set up during November 2020 to March 2021 and May to September 2021, with producers identified in the four (04) villages (Mission Tove, Ziowonou, Kovie and Assome) located in the...
