The biophysical field-based evaluation of the endogenous soil and water conservation (SWC) practices in the hilly region of sub-Saharan West Africa is lacking. To address this, the current study aims to evaluate the most commonly used erosion control practices in the hilly region of Boukombé through a rainfed field experiment conducted under sorghum over two growing seasons (2012–2013) on a...
In sub-Saharan Africa, smallholder farming systems continue to record very low yields despite the availability of appropriate crop management technologies. A 2-year field experiment was conducted in 2018 and 2019 at the Agricultural Research Station of Northern Benin to evaluate the growth response, grain yield attributes, and nutrient- and water- use efficiencies of different drought-tolerant...
