• Adoption of renewable soil fertility replenishment technologies in the southern African region: Lessons learnt and the way forward (2007, methodology): “When used in place of traditional fallows, well-chosen green manure cover crops and fertilizer tree systems reduce erosion and nutrient loss and suppress weeds and specific crop pests (Sileshi et al. , 2006; Sileshi, Kuntashula and Mafongoya, 2006; Sileshi et al. , 2005).”
• Meta-analysis of maize yield response to woody and herbaceous legumes in sub-Saharan Africa (2008, background): “Non-coppicing species are woody shrubs or trees that do not re-grow when cut at the end of a two to 3- year fallow period (Sileshi et al. 2005).”
• Pesticidal plants in Africa: A global vision of new biological control products from local uses (2017, background): “Among these species, T. vogelii has been used widely across Africa as a pesticide and a fish poison, but also for improving soil quality (Burkill, 1995; Kamanula et al. 2011; Mafongoya and Kuntashula, 2005; Neuwinger, 2004; Nyirenda et al. 2011; Sileshi et al. 2005; Sirrine et al. 2010).”
• Synergistic effect of inorganic N and P fertilizers and organic inputs from Gliricidia sepium on productivity of intercropped maize in Southern Malawi (2007, background): “2006), increases activity of soil biota (Sileshi and Mafongoya 2006) and reduces termite damage on maize crop (Sileshi et al. 2005).”
• Integrating Ethno-Ecological and Scientific Knowledge of Termites for Sustainable Termite Management and Human Welfare in Africa (2009, methodology): “…parentheses represent the total number of respondents bThe % was calculated using the respective number of respondents for each crop (figures in parentheses in column 2) during dry periods or droughts than periods of regular rainfall (Logan et al. 1990, Black and Okwakol 1997, Sileshi et al. 2005).”
