| Harvest index, which measures the economic harvest of a crop, often refers to that part of a crop representing that which can be eaten or sold to others for consumption; in smallholder farming. The remainder of the crop, referred to as crop residue; is either fed to livestock, used to build fences, used as mulch, ploughed in (where such equipments are available) or burnt in small-scale farming, causing environmental pollution. These crop residues are also rich in nutrients that were extracted from the soil, used in the building of the edible parts and contribute to soil mining if not returned to the soil. This is a major bottleneck among smallholders as harvesting could take place when the soil is too dry to turn easily or they may not have the labour to... |

| Groundnut has been reported to be one of the most important oil crops in the world. It plays an important role in the diets of rural populations, livestock feeding and soil fertility particularly in developing world. The yield from farmers’ field has been low due to several factors. Increased groundnut production can be achieved through irrigation to complement the rainy season production while its productivity can be enhanced by the use of a safer and available alternative source of fertilizer like the poultry manure. This work was therefore undertaken to determine economic optimum level of poultry manure in groundnut production under irrigation. To achieve this objectives field trials were conducted during the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 dry seasons at the... |
