Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]Studies on combined effects of 4 legume crops residues and rock phosphate application on pearl millet yieldwere undertaken on sandy acid soil field from 2012 to 2015 at ICRISAT Sahelian center (ISC)-Sadore, Niger.The objective of the experiment was to assess the best combination of legume species x rate of crop residue xrock phosphate doses that can sustainably improve pearl millet yield in cereal monoculture system with a lowinput cost and minimum soil tillage. Over 3 years, the residual effect of previous legume crop residuesignificantly improved not only the grain yield (P<0.001) and dry residue yields (P<0.001) but also the growthparameters of pearl millet than millet mono-cropping. Treatments with or without natural rock phosphate didnot show any statistical differences on millet yield while adding a micro dose of urea improved significantlythe yield (P<0.001). The interaction effects of preceding legume crops in rotation with millet and restitution ofdry residue on the earlier mentioned parameters across 3 years mono-cropping were studied in thisexperiment
