Evergreen Agriculture: a robust approach to sustainable food security in Africa (2010, background): “Trials across farmers’ fields with maize grown after 2 years of Sesbania showed that the yields of unfertilized maize were less than 1 t/ha, while the majority of farmers with improved fallows had yields of more than 4 t/ha (Kwesiga et al. 2003).”
Predicting field performance of five irrigated tree species using seedling quality assessment in Burkina Faso, West Africa (2009, result): “These figures are lower than the values reporting by previous workers (Mullen and Gutteridge 2002; Chirwa et al. 2003; Kwesiga et al. 2003; Odenyo et al. 2003; Kimaro et al. 2007).”
Can carbon sequestration markets benefit low-income producers in semi-arid Africa? Potentials and challenges (2007, background): “…leaching, and removal of organic C. Understanding of soil biophysical processes have advanced considerably during the last 30 years and have generated numerous technological practices that can slow soil C oxidation and increase C fixation and storage in African soils (Kwesiga et al., 2003).”
SUSTAINABLE MAIZE PRODUCTION USING GLIRICIDIA/MAIZE INTERCROPPING IN SOUTHERN MALAWI (2006, background): “…D U C T I O N The declining soil fertility resulting from shortened fallow periods and continuous cultivation, with few or no inputs, has been cited as the most important constraint threatening food production on smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa (Adesina et al., 2000; Kwesiga et al., 2003).”
Adoption of renewable soil fertility replenishment technologies in the southern African region: Lessons learnt and the way forward (2007, background): “…less accessible to smallholder farmers since they require high cash transactions or credit (Akinnifesi et al. , 2006; Mafongoya et al. , 2006; Mekuria and Waddington, 2004; Waddington et al. , 2004; Haggblade and Tembo, 2003; Kwesiga et al. , 2003; Waddington et al. , 1998; Kumwenda et al. , 1996).”
The potential of pigeonpea ( Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in Africa (2007, background): “Ease of establishment and the simultaneous production of food makes perennial pigeonpea a special agro-forestry option in several parts of Africa (Kwesiga et al. , 2003), such as Zambia (Boehringer and Caldwell, 1989).”
