Grain Legumes Strategies and Seed Roadmaps for Select Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (Foreword: Chapter 1 of 16)
Foreword and front matter for a set of grain legumes strategies and roadmaps created by TLII that identify workable and efficient models for the production of different categories of legume seed in individual countries.
Grain Legumes Strategies and Seed Roadmaps for Select Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (Nigeria: Chapter 13 of 16)
Grain legumes strategies and roadmaps for Nigeria, identifying workable and efficient models for the production of different categories of legume seed.
Four Seasons of Learning and Engaging Smallholder Farmers: Progress of Phase 1
Book-length report published at the end of the TLII project’s first phase (2007–2011) to document the lessons learned across the 10 target countries. Chapters report on experiences with specific grain legumes in specific regions.
Tropical Grain Legumes in Africa and South Asia: Knowledge and Opportunities
A report that brings together the information required to develop an effective research and development strategy for tropical legumes, reviewing trends, research impacts, and constraints in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Characterization of drought-tolerance traits in nodulated soya beans: the importance of maintaining photosynthesis and shoot biomass under drought-induced limitations on Nitrogen metabolism
This study identified phenotypic markers for enhanced drought tolerance in nodulated soya beans. Leaf and nodule parameters were compared in three genotypes: Prima 2000, glyphosate‐resistant A5409RG, and Jackson.
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.
Global soybean marketing and trade: A situation and outlook analysis
Book chapter analyzing the dramatic changes in global soybean production and trade in recent years, and examining the factors and constraints that will determine major future dynamics.
Lessons from Two Years of Tropical Legumes II: Second Annual Review and Planning Meeting 16–20 November 2009, Bamako, Mali
Lessons from two years of the Tropical Legumes II Project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), which aims to bring about significant increases in the productivity and production of tropical legumes to improve farmers’ income, nutrition quality, and livelihoods in the drought-prone areas of SSA and South SA.
Farmers’ guide to soybean production in northern Nigeria
This handbook outlines crop production practices that farmers may use to grow soybean profitably in Nigeria.
Promoting a versatile but yet minor crop: Soybean in the farming systems of Kenya
Using a three-tier-approach based on successful soybean promotion strategies, this study assesses the effect of market development at household-level, community-level, and linking farmers’ groups to industrial processors on sustainable soybean promotion in Kenya.
