Drought Stress Responses in Soybean Roots and Nodules
The research presented in this journal article concludes that the direct screening of root and nodule traits in the field, as well as identification of genes, proteins and also metabolites involved in such traits, is essential to gain a better understanding of the regulation of root architecture, bacteroid development and lifespan in relation to drought tolerance in soybean.
Performance of Groundnut Genotypes under Millet Based Intercropping Systems in Sudan Savanna of Nigeria
The productivity of two spatial arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was studied in the Sudan savanna of Nigeria during the 2014 rainy at three locations.
Response of Groundnut to Plant Density and Phosphorous Application in the Sudan Savanna Zone of Nigeria
The research findings presented in this article suggest that cultivating improved groundnut varieties at a high plant density with the application of phosphorus application can ensure that groundnut production becomes a profitable venture in the Sudan Savanna zone of Nigeria.
