[EBOOK] IITA Resource and Crop Management Technologies - An Annotated Bibliography, S.O. Oikeh, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture Oyo Road, PMB 5320, Ibadan, Nigeria

Since the 1970s, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, through the Resource and Crop Management Division/Farming Systems Program, has developed various prototype technologies to increase food production while conserving the natural resource base in sub-Saharan Africa. The technologies can be classified broadly into three: (1) those on cropping systems based on improved fallow management, including agroforestry (alley farming and multistrata systems), legume cover crops (live-mulch and in-situ cover crops), and crop rotation; (2) those on cropping systems based on crops and agroecological zones, including cassava-based for the humid forest, maize-based for the moist savanna, and nce-based for inland valleys, and (3) land and soil management technologies including zero/min:mum-tillage.

The bibliography has a summary for each technology that includes a definition and concept of the technology, a brief history of its development, major research results, adoption of the technology, lessons from the adoption, and die future of the technology. It also has an executive summary of abstracts of documented studies in refereed journals, proceedings, book chapters, and Annual Reports. In the case of alley-farming systems, the most researched technology, the literature has been categorized into different components lettered A to F for ease of identification. Each bibliographic entry has letters) to identify the components of this technology covered in the study.

This publication IS intended to provide scientists with first-hand information on the resource and crop management technologies developed by the Institute. It also provides baseline information for newly recruited scientists who want to have an overview of the research done on resource and crop management to date to avoid duplication of studies. Research managers will find this publication useful as a basis for future research planning.
