Genome-Wide Detection of SNP Markers Associated with Four Physiological Traits in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
This study uses DarTSeq markers to analyze genome-wide marker-trait association for some physiological traits and to determine the magnitude of linkage disequilibrium (LD).
Adoption of varietal and accompanying groundnut technologies in Sokoto and Kebbi States of Northwestern Nigeria
This paper summarises the outcomes of an adoption survey of new groundnut varieties in north western Nigeria.
Cook’s guide to groundnut delicacies: favorite recipes from northern Nigeria
This Cooks’ Guide from Nigeria recommends including groundnut in at least one meal a day and gives various options for it.
Towards a successful management of aflatoxin contamination in legume and cereal farming systems in northern Nigeria: A case study of the groundnut value chain
This paper presents multiple pre-emptive management measures in the management of aflatoxins in the groundnut value chain in Nigeria.
Effects of plant density on the performance of cowpea in Nigerian savannas
This study presents the results of field experiments in Nigeria to establish optimum plant densities of cowpea.
Evaluation of Different Fertilizer Sources for the Management of Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in the Southern Guinea savannah Agro-Ecological Zone of Nigeria
This study presents the results of field experiments conducted in Nigeria to evaluate how combinations of Farmyard Manure (FYM), Gypsum, Single superphosphate (SSP) and NPK fertilizers affected yield and aflatoxin contamination.
Legume breeding and seed systems for improved livelihoods and impact
This abstract summarises the aims and achievements of the Tropical Legumes project with national breeding programs to develop improved groundnut varieties by identifying sources of resistance, developing populations, evaluating in target environments, and releasing improved farmer-preferred varieties for production.
Response of old and new cowpea varieties to insecticide spray regimes in the Sudan Savanna of Nigeria
This paper determines the response to insecticide spraying of old cowpea varieties developed in the late 1970s and new varieties developed in the 2000s – in order to determine whether the new varieties have less requirement for spraying.
Phosphorus and Nitrogen fertilization of soybean in the Nigerian Savanna
The objective of this research was to determine the interactive effect of N and P on soybean productivity in the northern Guinea and Sudan savannas of northeast Nigeria. The results suggest that N fertilizer is not critical for soybean production in this area.
