Demonstrative effects of crude extracts of Desmodium spp. to fight against the invasive weed species Tagetes minuta
(Elsevier, 2016)
Threats on native flora and fauna by invasive plant species represent one of the main conservation and management
challenges in rangelands. Methods that are both effective and ecologically safe to suppress invasives ...
Decline in maize and beans production in the face of climate change at Hai District in Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2015)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show how climatic change in Africa is expected to lead to a
higher occurrence of severe droughts in semiarid and arid ecosystems. Understanding how crop
productions react to such ...

fixation as influenced by two legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos ...
Effects of intercropping systems and Rhizobium inoculation on yields of maize (Zea mays) and two legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos lablab)
(International Journal of Biosciences, 2017-02-28)
This study aimed to assess the effect of intercropping systems, Rhizobium inoculation and legumes on yield
components and grain yields of maize and two legumes. To achieve this objective, field experiments were
executed ...
Improving Soil Fertility and Crops Yield through Maize-Legumes (Common bean and Dolichos lablab) Intercropping Systems
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2016-11-15)
Declining crops yield in the smallholder farmers cropping systems of sub-Saharan African (SSA) present the
need to develop more sustainable production systems. Depletion of essential plant nutrients from the soils have
been ...
Drivers of increased soil erosion in East Africa’s agro-pastoral systems: changing interactions between the social, economic and natural domains
(Springer, 2019-06-08)
Increased soil erosion is one of the main drivers of land degradation in East Africa’s agricultural and pastoral landscapes. This wicked problem is rooted in historic disruptions to co-adapted agro-pastoral systems. ...
Emerging issues and challenges associated with conservation of the African baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) in the semi-arid areas of Tanzania
(International Network for Natural Sciences, 2019-11)
