Abstract Agricultural practices have constantly changed in West Africa, and understanding the factors that have driven the changes may help guide strategies to promote sustainable agriculture in the region. To contribute to such efforts, this paper analyzes drivers of change in farming practices in the region using data obtained from surveys of 700 farming households in five countries (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Niger and Senegal). The results showed that farmers have adopted various practices in response to the challenges they have faced during the last decade. A series of logit models showed that most changes farmers made to their practices are undertaken for multiple reasons. Land use and management changes including expanding farmed areas and using mineral fertilization and manure are positively related to perceived changes in the climate, such as more erratic rainfall. Planting new varieties, introducing new crops, crop rotation, expanding farmed area and using pesticides are positively associated with new market opportunities. Farm practices that require relatively high financial investment such as use of pesticides, drought-tolerant varieties and improved seeds were positively associated with the provision of technical and financial support for farmers through development projects and policies. Changes in markets and climate are both helping to promote needed changes in farming practices in West Africa. Therefore, policies that foster the development of markets for agricultural products, and improved weather- and climate-related information linked to knowledge of appropriate agricultural innovations in different environments are needed.

De nombreuses projections de l'impact du changement climatique sur les secteurs des cultures, de l'élevage et de la production halieutique de l'agriculture africaine sont rapportées dans la littérature. Cependant, ils peuvent être sans doute trop généraux pour comprendre l'ampleur de l'impact et pour éclairer les stratégies d'adaptation et les efforts d'élaboration de politiques adaptés à la promotion d'une agriculture intelligente face au climat dans la seule région de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Ce document a été synthétisé à partir de plusieurs publications scientifiques et visait à fournir des informations à jour sur les impacts du changement climatique, les stratégies d'adaptation, les politiques et les mécanismes institutionnels que chaque sous-secteur agricole avait mis en place pour faire face au changement climatique et à ses problèmes connexes en Afrique de l'Ouest. Pour chaque sous-secteur (culture, pêche et élevage), l'état actuel, les impacts du changement climatique, les stratégies d'atténuation et d'adaptation ont été analysés. En outre, nous avons examiné les récentes initiatives politiques dans la région qui favorisent le développement et l'adoption d'options agricoles intelligentes face au climat pour améliorer la résilience des systèmes agricoles et les moyens de subsistance des petits exploitants face aux risques liés au changement climatique. Des niveaux communautaire aux niveaux national et régional, diverses stratégies et politiques sont également prises pour guider les actions et les investissements en faveur d'une agriculture intelligente face au climat en Afrique de l'Ouest. En la literatura se informan muchas proyecciones del impacto del cambio climático en los sectores de producción agrícola, ganadera y pesquera de la agricultura africana. Sin embargo, podría decirse que son demasiado generales para comprender la magnitud del impacto y para informar las estrategias de adaptación y los esfuerzos de desarrollo de políticas que se adaptan a la promoción de la agricultura climáticamente inteligente solo en la región de África Occidental. Este documento se sintetizó a partir de varias publicaciones académicas y tenía como objetivo proporcionar información actualizada sobre los impactos del cambio climático, las estrategias de adaptación, las políticas y los mecanismos institucionales que cada subsector agrícola había implementado para abordar el cambio climático y sus problemas relacionados en África Occidental. Para cada subsector (cultivo, pesquería y ganadería), se ha analizado el estado actual, los impactos del cambio climático, las estrategias de mitigación y adaptación. Además, revisamos las iniciativas políticas recientes en la región que fomentan el desarrollo y la adopción de opciones agrícolas climáticamente inteligentes para mejorar la resiliencia de los sistemas agrícolas y los medios de vida de los pequeños agricultores a los riesgos del cambio climático. Desde la comunidad hasta los niveles nacional y regional, también se están adoptando diversas estrategias y políticas para guiar las acciones y la inversión en la agricultura climáticamente inteligente en África Occidental. Many projections of the impact of climate change on the crop, livestock and fishery production sectors of African agriculture are reported in the literature. However, they may be arguably too general to understand the magnitude of impact and to inform adaptation strategies and policy development efforts that are tailored to promoting climate-smart agriculture in the West African region alone. This paper was synthesized from several scholarly literature and aimed at providing up-to-date information on climate change impacts, adaptation strategies, policies and institutional mechanisms that each agriculture subsector had put in place in dealing with climate change and its related issues in West Africa. For each subsector (crop, fishery and livestock), the current status, climate change impacts, mitigation and adaption strategies have been analyzed. In addition, we reviewed recent policy initiatives in the region that foster the development and adoption of climate-smart agricultural options to improve resilience of farming systems and livelihoods of smallholder farmers to climate change risks. From community to national and regional levels, various strategies and policies are also being taken to guide actions and investment for climate-smart agriculture in West Africa. تم الإبلاغ عن العديد من التوقعات لتأثير تغير المناخ على قطاعات إنتاج المحاصيل والثروة الحيوانية والسمكية في الزراعة الأفريقية في الأدبيات. ومع ذلك، قد تكون عامة للغاية لفهم حجم التأثير ولتوجيه استراتيجيات التكيف وجهود وضع السياسات المصممة خصيصًا لتعزيز الزراعة الذكية مناخيًا في منطقة غرب إفريقيا وحدها. تم تجميع هذه الورقة من العديد من المؤلفات العلمية وتهدف إلى توفير معلومات محدثة عن آثار تغير المناخ واستراتيجيات التكيف والسياسات والآليات المؤسسية التي وضعها كل قطاع فرعي زراعي في التعامل مع تغير المناخ والقضايا ذات الصلة به في غرب أفريقيا. بالنسبة لكل قطاع فرعي (المحاصيل ومصائد الأسماك والثروة الحيوانية)، تم تحليل الوضع الحالي وآثار تغير المناخ واستراتيجيات التخفيف والتكيف. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، استعرضنا مبادرات السياسة الأخيرة في المنطقة التي تعزز تطوير واعتماد خيارات زراعية ذكية مناخياً لتحسين مرونة النظم الزراعية وسبل عيش المزارعين أصحاب الحيازات الصغيرة في مواجهة مخاطر تغير المناخ. من المستوى المجتمعي إلى المستوى الوطني والإقليمي، يتم أيضًا اتخاذ استراتيجيات وسياسات مختلفة لتوجيه الإجراءات والاستثمار من أجل الزراعة الذكية مناخيًا في غرب إفريقيا.

Bamboo agroforestry is currently being promoted in Ghana as a viable land use option to reduce dependence on natural forest for wood fuels. To align the design and introduction of bamboo agroforestry to the needs of farmers, information on the determinants of bamboo acceptability and adoption is necessary. It is, therefore, the aim of this study to determine how socioeconomic factors, local farming practices and local knowledge on bamboo may influence its acceptability and adoption as a component of local farming systems. Data were collected from 200 farmers in the dry semi-deciduous forest zone of Ghana using semi-structured questionnaire interviews. The results show that farmers’ traditional knowledge on bamboo including its use for charcoal production and leaves for fodder are influential determinants of bamboo adoption. Among the demographic characteristics of farmers, age and gender are the most significant predictors. It is also evident that the regular practice of leaving trees on farmlands and type of cropping system may influence bamboo integration into traditional farming systems.

Bamboo agroforestry is currently being promoted in Ghana as a viable land use option to reduce dependence on natural forest for wood fuels. To align the design and introduction of bamboo agroforestry to the needs of farmers, information on the determinants of bamboo acceptability and adoption is necessary. It is, therefore, the aim of this study to determine how socioeconomic factors, local farming practices and local knowledge on bamboo may influence its acceptability and adoption as a component of local farming systems. Data were collected from 200 farmers in the dry semi-deciduous forest zone of Ghana using semi-structured questionnaire interviews. The results show that farmers’ traditional knowledge on bamboo including its use for charcoal production and leaves for fodder are influential determinants of bamboo adoption. Among the demographic characteristics of farmers, age and gender are the most significant predictors. It is also evident that the regular practice of leaving trees on farmlands and type of cropping system may influence bamboo integration into traditional farming systems.

In the literature, a lot is discussed about how agroforestry can achieve the mitigation, adaptation and productivity goals of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). However, this may be relatively too broad to assess the trade-offs and synergies of how specific agroforestry technologies or practices achieve the three pillars of CSA. Here, we provide an overview of how improved fallows (an agroforestry technology consisting of planting mainly legume tree/shrub species in rotation with cultivated crops) may achieve the goals of climate-smart agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Our review showed that improved fallow systems have real potential to contribute to food security and climate change mitigation and adaptation in SSA. Under proper management, improved fallows can increase maize yields to about 6 t ha−1, which is comparable to conventional maize yields under fertilization. This is attributed to improved soil fertility and nutrient use efficiency. Although data was generally limited, the growing literature showed that improved fallows increased soil carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse emissions. Further, as a multiple output land use system, improved fallows may increase fodder availability during dry periods and provide substantial biomass for charcoal production. These livelihood options may become important financial safety nets during off seasons or in the event of crop failures. This notwithstanding, the adoption of improved fallows is mainly in Southern and Eastern Africa, where over 20,000 farmers are now using Sesbania sesban, Tephrosia vogelii, and Cajanus cajan in two-year fallows followed by maize rotations. Land tenure issues, lack of social capital, and improved germplasm and accessions of fallow species have been cited as constraints to scaling up. However, development of seed orchards, nursery development, and the willingness of policy makers to create a policy environment that addresses market failures and alleviates disincentives should improve adoption and future scaling up.

This paper systematically reviewed the relevant literature to generate evidence and identify knowledge gaps on the gender perspectives of ICT use for agriculture and climate response in West Africa. It was evident from the literature that ICTs continue to form an important part of agricultural operations, climate response and agribusiness in West Africa. TV, radio and mobile phones were the most frequently used ICT platforms for receiving agricultural and climate information. Mobile phones have an added use for sales and financial transactions. There were no distinct gender differences in the use of ICTs for agriculture and climate response. However, women’s low income and limitations in controlling household financial responses were identified as significant barriers to ICT access. It was evident that ICTs may contribute to achieving gender outcomes in agriculture and climate response if an enabling environment is created for women to have access to the inputs and resources needed to implement agro-advisories. From the results obtained, there are clear indications that the gender perspectives of ICT use in agriculture and climate response has not received much research attention. The analyses identified important knowledge gaps on gender disaggregated information on the linkages among ICT use, agricultural productivity and climate adaptation indicators.

This paper reviewed the prospects for climate-smart agriculture (CSA) development and promotion in West Africa as well as lessons learnt and challenges with a focus on climate change and variability. It was evident from the literature that West Africa is vulnerable to climate change and variability, on account of its socio-economic and physical characteristics. As climate change and variability persists, the region's quest to use agriculture as the mainstream opportunity to deliver on set targets of the sustainable development goals will be strongly challenged without appropriate interventions. Adopting CSA seems to be a suitable strategy to achieving food security while also mitigating and adapting to climate-related risks. Among numerous CSA technologies, the review found (1) agroforestry (farmer-managed natural regenerations), soil and water conservation technologies (zai, half-moon, tie/contour ridges, conservation agriculture) and (3) climate information services as highly valued promising options for climate change adaptation and risk management in West Africa. In addition, institutional settings at the community, national and regional levels such as the establishment of multi-stakeholder innovation platforms, national science policy dialogue platforms on CSA in parts of West Africa and the formulation of the West Africa CSA Alliance were found to be crucial in promoting capacity development and awareness of CSA technologies and innovations in the region. The review found that CSA still faces a number of challenges, including: lack of clear conceptual understanding, limited enabling policy and financing. The prospects of CSA in West Africa hinge on the capacities of farming households and the region's national institutions to understand the environmental, economic and social challenges in the context of climate change, and consequently self-mobilize to develop and implement responsive policies at appropriate scales.

Climate information is recognized as a powerful tool to reduce the effect of climate risk and uncertainty on crop production and increase the resilience and the adaptive capacity of farmers in semi-arid zones. This paper estimates farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for climate information within cowpea and sesame value chains in Northern Burkina Faso. The study used the contingent valuation method for a monetary valuation of farmers’ preferences for climate information. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 170 farmers. The study found that 63% of respondents were willing to pay for climate information services (CIS) such as seasonal climate forecast (SCF), decadal climate information (10-DCI), daily climate information (1-DCI) and agro-advisories. The predicted value for the WTP was XOF 3496 for SCF, XOF 1066 for 10-DCI, XOF 1985 for 1-DCI and XOF 1628 for agro-advisories. The study also showed that several socioeconomic and motivation factors have greater influence on farmers’ WTP for CIS. These included the gender, age, education of the farm head and the awareness of farm head to climate information. The outcomes of this paper should support policy makers to better design an efficient mechanism for the dissemination of climate information to improve the adaptive capacity of farmers to climate risks in Burkina Faso.

Climate information is recognized as a powerful tool to reduce the effect of climate risk and uncertainty on crop production and increase the resilience and the adaptive capacity of farmers in semi-arid zones. This paper estimates farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for climate information within cowpea and sesame value chains in Northern Burkina Faso. The study used the contingent valuation method for a monetary valuation of farmers’ preferences for climate information. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 170 farmers. The study found that 63% of respondents were willing to pay for climate information services (CIS) such as seasonal climate forecast (SCF), decadal climate information (10-DCI), daily climate information (1-DCI) and agro-advisories. The predicted value for the WTP was XOF 3496 for SCF, XOF 1066 for 10-DCI, XOF 1985 for 1-DCI and XOF 1628 for agro-advisories. The study also showed that several socioeconomic and motivation factors have greater influence on farmers’ WTP for CIS. These included the gender, age, education of the farm head and the awareness of farm head to climate information. The outcomes of this paper should support policy makers to better design an efficient mechanism for the dissemination of climate information to improve the adaptive capacity of farmers to climate risks in Burkina Faso.

La perspective de genre de l'utilisation de l'information climatique n'est pas bien étudiée, bien qu'elle soit nécessaire pour développer des services d'information climatique (SIC) sensibles au genre. Cette étude a déterminé comment l'utilisation de la SIC par les agriculteurs et agricultrices peut être influencée par leurs perceptions du changement climatique (CC), des activités agricoles et de la démographie. L'étude a été réalisée dans les districts de Lawra-Jirapa de la région du Haut-Ouest du Ghana, où des informations sur les prévisions saisonnières réduites grâce aux technologies de téléphonie mobile (plate-forme Esoko) ont été diffusées aux agriculteurs depuis 2011. Les données ont été recueillies à partir d'entretiens semi-structurés par questionnaire impliquant 900 agriculteurs (50,2 % de femmes et 49,8 % d'hommes) et de quatre groupes de discussion de 20 membres. L'étude a confirmé que 85,2 % (représentant 767) des agriculteurs étaient conscients du changement climatique et de ses implications pour leur agriculture et leurs autres activités de subsistance. Les hommes et les femmes avaient des perceptions similaires du changement climatique, perçus par la majorité comme une augmentation des vents forts, des températures plus élevées, une augmentation de la fréquence des sécheresses, une augmentation de la variabilité des précipitations et une augmentation des inondations. Entre autres facteurs, il était évident que l'utilisation de l'ECI pouvait être influencée par le sexe. Les hommes se sont révélés particulièrement réceptifs à l'adoption de l'utilisation de l'ECI pour l'atténuation des risques climatiques. Cela a été attribué à leur capacité à accéder et à utiliser facilement les appareils téléphoniques par rapport aux femmes. L'étude a révélé que, contrairement aux femmes, les hommes étaient en mesure d'accéder à plus de ressources financières et avaient le contrôle du revenu du ménage, ce qui leur permettait d'acheter des téléphones portables. Les femmes accédaient généralement aux téléphones portables de leurs maris. Malgré les différences d'accès au cis, l'étude a montré que les hommes et les femmes le trouvaient bénéfique pour la prise de décision stratégique agricole, comme le moment de commencer la préparation des terres, le moment de planter et la culture à sélectionner. En outre, les hommes et les femmes ont été confrontés à des contraintes similaires (telles qu'une mauvaise connectivité réseau et une formation limitée) pour accéder et utiliser le cis via la plate-forme Esoko. L'étude recommande la nécessité d'explorer différents canaux de diffusion des SIC et de concevoir des SIC qui répondent aux besoins spécifiques au genre. La perspectiva de género del uso de la información climática no está bien estudiada, aunque es necesaria para desarrollar servicios de información climática (CIS) sensibles al género. Este estudio determinó cómo el uso de CIS por parte de hombres y mujeres agricultores puede verse influenciado por sus percepciones sobre el cambio climático (CC), las actividades agrícolas y la demografía. El estudio se llevó a cabo en los distritos de Lawra-Jirapa de la región del Alto Oeste de Ghana, donde la información de pronóstico estacional a escala reducida a través de tecnologías de telefonía móvil (plataforma Esoko) se había difundido a los agricultores desde 2011. Los datos se recopilaron a partir de entrevistas de cuestionarios semiestructurados que involucraron a 900 agricultores (50.2% mujeres y 49.8% hombres) y cuatro discusiones de grupos focales de 20 miembros. El estudio confirmó que el 85,2% (lo que representa 767) de los agricultores eran conscientes del cambio climático y sus implicaciones para su agricultura y otras actividades de subsistencia. Hombres y mujeres tenían percepciones similares sobre el cambio climático, percibidas por la mayoría como un aumento de los vientos fuertes, temperaturas más altas, mayor frecuencia de sequía, mayor variabilidad de las precipitaciones y mayor inundación. Entre otros factores, fue evidente que el uso de CIS puede estar influenciado por el género. Se descubrió que los hombres son particularmente receptivos al adoptar el uso de CIS para la mitigación del riesgo climático. Esto se atribuyó a su capacidad para acceder y utilizar fácilmente los dispositivos telefónicos en comparación con las mujeres. El estudio reveló que, a diferencia de las mujeres, los hombres podían acceder a más recursos financieros y tenían el control de los ingresos del hogar, lo que les permitía comprar teléfonos móviles. Las mujeres generalmente accedían a los teléfonos móviles de sus maridos. A pesar de las diferencias en el acceso al CIS, el estudio mostró que tanto hombres como mujeres lo encontraron beneficioso para la toma de decisiones estratégicas de las granjas, como cuándo comenzar la preparación de la tierra, cuándo plantar y qué cultivo seleccionar. Además, se descubrió que tanto hombres como mujeres se enfrentaban a limitaciones similares (como una conectividad de red deficiente y una capacitación limitada) para acceder y utilizar el CIS a través de la plataforma Esoko. El estudio recomienda la necesidad de explorar diferentes canales de difusión del CIS y diseñar un CIS que satisfaga las necesidades específicas de género. The gender perspective of climate information use is not well studied although necessary for developing gender-responsive climate information services (CIS). This study determined how CIS use by men and women farmers may be influenced by their perceptions about climate change (CC), farm activities, and demography. The study was carried out at the Lawra-Jirapa Districts of the Upper West Region of Ghana where downscaled seasonal forecast information through mobile phone technologies (Esoko platform) had been disseminated to farmers since 2011. Data was collected from semi-structured questionnaire interviews involving 900 farmers (50.2% women and 49.8% men) and four 20-member focus group discussions. The study confirmed 85.2% (representing 767) farmers were aware of climate change and its implications for their agriculture and other livelihood activities. Men and women had similar perceptions about climate change, perceived by the majority as increased strong winds, higher temperatures, increased frequency of drought, increased rainfall variability and increased flooding. Among other factors, it was evident that use of CIS may be influenced by gender. Men were found to be particularly responsive in adopting CIS use for climate risk mitigation. This was attributed to their ability to easily access and use telephone devices compared with women. The study revealed that unlike women, men were able to access more financial resources and had control of household income which allowed them to purchase mobile phones. Women generally accessed their husbands' mobile phones. Despite differences in access to CIS, the study showed both men and women found it beneficial for strategic farm decision-making such as when to begin land preparation, when to plant, and which crop to select. In addition, both men and women were found to face similar constrains (such as poor network connectivity and limited of training), to accessing and using CIS through the Esoko platform. The study recommends the need to explore different CIS dissemination channels and design CIS that meet gender-specific needs. لم يتم دراسة المنظور الجنساني لاستخدام المعلومات المناخية بشكل جيد على الرغم من أنه ضروري لتطوير خدمات المعلومات المناخية المراعية للمنظور الجنساني (CIS). حددت هذه الدراسة كيف يمكن أن يتأثر استخدام CIS من قبل المزارعين والمزارعات بتصوراتهم حول تغير المناخ (CC) والأنشطة الزراعية والديموغرافيا. أجريت الدراسة في مقاطعات لورا جيرابا في المنطقة الغربية العليا من غانا حيث تم نشر معلومات التنبؤات الموسمية المصغرة من خلال تقنيات الهاتف المحمول (منصة إسوكو) على المزارعين منذ عام 2011. تم جمع البيانات من مقابلات الاستبيان شبه المنظمة التي شملت 900 مزارع (50.2 ٪ من النساء و 49.8 ٪ من الرجال) وأربع مناقشات جماعية مركزة تضم 20 عضوًا. أكدت الدراسة أن 85.2 ٪ (يمثلون 767) مزارعًا على دراية بتغير المناخ وآثاره على زراعتهم وأنشطتهم المعيشية الأخرى. كان لدى الرجال والنساء تصورات مماثلة حول تغير المناخ، والتي تعتبرها الغالبية زيادة الرياح القوية وارتفاع درجات الحرارة وزيادة تواتر الجفاف وزيادة تقلب هطول الأمطار وزيادة الفيضانات. ومن بين العوامل الأخرى، كان من الواضح أن استخدام رابطة الدول المستقلة قد يتأثر بنوع الجنس. وجد أن الرجال يستجيبون بشكل خاص في اعتماد استخدام رابطة الدول المستقلة للتخفيف من مخاطر المناخ. ويعزى ذلك إلى قدرتهم على الوصول بسهولة إلى أجهزة الهاتف واستخدامها مقارنة بالنساء. كشفت الدراسة أنه على عكس النساء، كان الرجال قادرين على الوصول إلى المزيد من الموارد المالية وكان لديهم سيطرة على دخل الأسرة مما سمح لهم بشراء الهواتف المحمولة. تمكنت النساء بشكل عام من الوصول إلى هواتف أزواجهن المحمولة. على الرغم من الاختلافات في الوصول إلى رابطة الدول المستقلة، أظهرت الدراسة أن كل من الرجال والنساء وجدوا أنه من المفيد اتخاذ القرارات الزراعية الاستراتيجية مثل متى يبدأون في إعداد الأراضي، ومتى يزرعون، وأي محصول يختارون. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، وجد أن كل من الرجال والنساء يواجهون قيودًا مماثلة (مثل ضعف الاتصال بالشبكة ومحدودية التدريب)، للوصول إلى CIS واستخدامها من خلال منصة Esoko. توصي الدراسة بالحاجة إلى استكشاف قنوات نشر مختلفة لرابطة الدول المستقلة وتصميم رابطة الدول المستقلة التي تلبي الاحتياجات الخاصة بنوع الجنس.

Lorsque la disponibilité des engrais conventionnels est limitée, l'utilisation de matières organiques est considérée comme une alternative viable pour augmenter la capacité de production des sols. De nombreux résidus végétaux potentiels restent sous-utilisés en raison de recherches limitées sur leur utilisation comme source de nutriments. Dans cette étude, les capacités d'approvisionnement en azote de dix sources de biomasse foliaire rarement utilisées (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala et Zea mays) ont été testées en fonction de leur teneur en nutriments, de leurs profils de minéralisation de l'azote et de leur effet sur le rendement du maïs (en comparaison avec les engrais inorganiques). La minéralisation N a été étudiée en laboratoire à l'aide d'une expérience d'incubation. Des essais sur le terrain ont également été établis à l'aide d'un modèle de bloc complet randomisé. Les résidus végétaux ont été appliqués à 5 t de matière sèche ha−1 par semaine avant la plantation du maïs, tandis que l'engrais a été appliqué à 90 kg N ha−1 sur les parcelles désignées. D'après les résultats sur la chimie des résidus végétaux, la plupart des résidus végétaux ont enregistré une concentration relativement élevée de N (≥24,9 g kg−1) et un faible rapport C/N (≤20,1) bien que ni la teneur en N ni le rapport C/N n'aient affecté de manière significative (p > 0,05) leurs modèles de minéralisation de N. L'application de biomasse foliaire de B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia et de souche de maïs a entraîné une immobilisation initiale nette de l'azote qui a duré 14 jours. L'application de tous les matériaux végétaux a considérablement augmenté le rendement biologique et l'absorption d'azote du maïs, G. sepium et T. diversifolia produisant le plus grand impact, en particulier pendant la grande saison des pluies. Par rapport au témoin, le rendement céréalier total après quatre saisons de culture était comparable entre les traitements par engrais inorganiques (9,2 t ha−1), G. sepium (8,8 t ha−1) et T. diversifolia (9,4 t ha−1). Les résultats sur le rendement biologique du maïs étaient significativement corrélés avec les effets des traitements sur l'absorption de l'azote. Les résultats suggèrent que dans les endroits où les engrais inorganiques sont limités, la biomasse foliaire de G. sepium et T. diversifolia pourrait offrir l'option la plus appropriée par rapport aux autres espèces utilisées dans cette étude. Cuando existe una disponibilidad limitada de fertilizantes convencionales, el uso de materiales orgánicos se considera una alternativa viable para aumentar la capacidad productiva de los suelos. Muchos residuos vegetales potenciales siguen infrautilizados debido a la limitada investigación sobre su uso como fuente de nutrientes. En este estudio, se probaron las capacidades de suministro de nitrógeno de diez fuentes de biomasa foliar raramente utilizadas (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala y Zea mays) en función de su contenido de nutrientes, patrones de mineralización de N y efecto sobre el rendimiento del maíz (en comparación con los fertilizantes inorgánicos). La mineralización de N se estudió en el laboratorio utilizando un experimento de incubación. Los ensayos de campo también se establecieron utilizando un diseño de bloque completo aleatorizado. Los residuos vegetales se aplicaron a 5 t de materia seca ha−1 a la semana antes de plantar maíz, mientras que el fertilizante se aplicó por división a 90 kg N ha−1 en las parcelas designadas. A partir de los resultados sobre la química de los residuos vegetales, la mayoría de los residuos vegetales registraron una concentración de N relativamente alta (≥24.9 g kg−1) y una relación C/N baja (≤20.1), aunque ni el contenido de N ni la relación C/N afectaron significativamente (p > 0.05) sus patrones de mineralización de N. La aplicación de biomasa foliar de B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia y rastrojo de maíz dio como resultado una inmovilización inicial de N neto que duró 14 días. La aplicación de todos los materiales vegetales aumentó significativamente el rendimiento biológico y la absorción de N del maíz, con G. sepium y T. diversifolia produciendo el mayor impacto, especialmente en la principal temporada de lluvias. En relación con el control, el rendimiento total de grano después de cuatro temporadas de cultivo fue comparable entre los tratamientos con fertilizantes inorgánicos (9,2 t ha-1), G. sepium (8,8 t ha-1) y T. diversifolia (9,4 t ha-1). Los resultados sobre el rendimiento biológico del maíz se correlacionaron significativamente con los efectos de los tratamientos sobre la absorción de N. Los hallazgos sugieren que en lugares donde los fertilizantes inorgánicos son limitados, la biomasa foliar de G. sepium y T. diversifolia podría ofrecer la opción más adecuada en comparación con las otras especies utilizadas en este estudio. Where there is limited availability of conventional fertilizers, the use of organic materials is considered a viable alternative to increase the productive capacity of soils. Many potential plant residues remain underutilized due to limited research on their use as a nutrient source. In this study, the nitrogen supplying capabilities of ten rarely-used leaf biomass sources (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala and Zea mays) were tested based on their nutrient content, N mineralization patterns and effect on maize yield (in comparison with inorganic fertilizer). N mineralization was studied in the laboratory using an incubation experiment. Field trials were also established using a randomized complete block design. Plant residues were applied at 5 t dry matter ha−1 a week before planting maize while fertilizer was split-applied at 90 kg N ha−1 on designated plots. From the results on plant residue chemistry, most of the plant residues recorded relatively high N concentration (≥24.9 g kg−1) and low C/N ratio (≤20.1) although neither N content nor C/N ratio significantly (p > 0.05) affected their N mineralization patterns. Leaf biomass application of B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia and maize stover resulted in an initial net N immobilization that lasted for 14 days. Application of all plant materials significantly increased the biological yield and N uptake of maize with G. sepium and T. diversifolia producing the greatest impact especially in the major rainy season. Relative to the control, total grain yield after four cropping seasons was comparable between inorganic fertilizer (9.2 t ha−1), G. sepium (8.8 t ha−1) and T. diversifolia (9.4 t ha−1) treatments. The results on maize biological yield were significantly correlated with the effects of the treatments on N uptake. The findings suggest that in locations where inorganic fertilizers are limited, leaf biomass from G. sepium and T. diversifolia could offer the most suitable option in comparison with the other species used in this study. عندما يكون هناك توفر محدود للأسمدة التقليدية، يعتبر استخدام المواد العضوية بديلاً قابلاً للتطبيق لزيادة القدرة الإنتاجية للتربة. لا تزال العديد من بقايا النباتات المحتملة غير مستغلة بشكل كامل بسبب البحوث المحدودة حول استخدامها كمصدر للمغذيات. في هذه الدراسة، تم اختبار قدرات توريد النيتروجين لعشرة مصادر للكتلة الحيوية للأوراق نادرة الاستخدام (Acacia auriculiformis و Baphia nitida و Albizia zygia و Azadirachta indica و Senna siamea و Senna spectabilis و Tithonia diversifolia و Gliricidia sepium و Leucaena leucocephala و Zea mays) بناءً على محتواها من المغذيات وأنماط تمعدن N وتأثيرها على محصول الذرة (مقارنة بالأسمدة غير العضوية). تمت دراسة التمعدن في المختبر باستخدام تجربة الحضانة. كما تم إنشاء تجارب ميدانية باستخدام تصميم كتلة كاملة عشوائية. تم تطبيق بقايا النبات عند 5 طن من المادة الجافة هكتار-1 قبل أسبوع من زراعة الذرة بينما تم تقسيم الأسمدة - تم تطبيقها عند 90 كجم هكتار-1 على قطع مخصصة. من النتائج على كيمياء بقايا النبات، سجلت معظم بقايا النبات تركيز N مرتفعًا نسبيًا (≥24.9 جم كجم−1) ونسبة C/N منخفضة (≤20.1) على الرغم من عدم تأثير محتوى N ولا نسبة C/N بشكل كبير (p > 0.05) على أنماط تمعدن N الخاصة بهم. أدى استخدام الكتلة الحيوية للأوراق من B. nitida، A. auriculiformis، A. zygia و stover الذرة إلى تثبيت N صافي أولي استمر لمدة 14 يومًا. أدى استخدام جميع المواد النباتية إلى زيادة كبيرة في المحصول البيولوجي وامتصاص الذرة مع G. sepium و T. diversifolia مما أدى إلى أكبر تأثير خاصة في موسم الأمطار الرئيسي. بالنسبة للتحكم، كان إجمالي محصول الحبوب بعد أربعة مواسم زراعة متشابهًا بين الأسمدة غير العضوية (9.2 طن هكتار-1)، و G. sepium (8.8 طن هكتار-1) و T. diversifolia (9.4 طن هكتار-1) المعالجات. كانت النتائج على المحصول البيولوجي للذرة مرتبطة بشكل كبير بتأثيرات العلاجات على الامتصاص. تشير النتائج إلى أنه في المواقع التي تكون فيها الأسمدة غير العضوية محدودة، يمكن أن توفر الكتلة الحيوية للأوراق من G. sepium و T. diversifolia الخيار الأنسب بالمقارنة مع الأنواع الأخرى المستخدمة في هذه الدراسة.

Lorsque la disponibilité des engrais conventionnels est limitée, l'utilisation de matières organiques est considérée comme une alternative viable pour augmenter la capacité de production des sols. De nombreux résidus végétaux potentiels restent sous-utilisés en raison de recherches limitées sur leur utilisation comme source de nutriments. Dans cette étude, les capacités d'approvisionnement en azote de dix sources de biomasse foliaire rarement utilisées (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala et Zea mays) ont été testées en fonction de leur teneur en nutriments, de leurs profils de minéralisation de l'azote et de leur effet sur le rendement du maïs (en comparaison avec les engrais inorganiques). La minéralisation N a été étudiée en laboratoire à l'aide d'une expérience d'incubation. Des essais sur le terrain ont également été établis à l'aide d'un modèle de bloc complet randomisé. Les résidus végétaux ont été appliqués à 5 t de matière sèche ha−1 par semaine avant la plantation du maïs, tandis que l'engrais a été appliqué à 90 kg N ha−1 sur les parcelles désignées. D'après les résultats sur la chimie des résidus végétaux, la plupart des résidus végétaux ont enregistré une concentration relativement élevée de N (≥24,9 g kg−1) et un faible rapport C/N (≤20,1) bien que ni la teneur en N ni le rapport C/N n'aient affecté de manière significative (p > 0,05) leurs modèles de minéralisation de N. L'application de biomasse foliaire de B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia et de souche de maïs a entraîné une immobilisation initiale nette de l'azote qui a duré 14 jours. L'application de tous les matériaux végétaux a considérablement augmenté le rendement biologique et l'absorption d'azote du maïs, G. sepium et T. diversifolia produisant le plus grand impact, en particulier pendant la grande saison des pluies. Par rapport au témoin, le rendement céréalier total après quatre saisons de culture était comparable entre les traitements par engrais inorganiques (9,2 t ha−1), G. sepium (8,8 t ha−1) et T. diversifolia (9,4 t ha−1). Les résultats sur le rendement biologique du maïs étaient significativement corrélés avec les effets des traitements sur l'absorption de l'azote. Les résultats suggèrent que dans les endroits où les engrais inorganiques sont limités, la biomasse foliaire de G. sepium et T. diversifolia pourrait offrir l'option la plus appropriée par rapport aux autres espèces utilisées dans cette étude.

Abstract Agricultural practices have constantly changed in West Africa, and understanding the factors that have driven the changes may help guide strategies to promote sustainable agriculture in the region. To contribute to such efforts, this paper analyzes drivers of change in farming practices in the region using data obtained from surveys of 700 farming households in five countries (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Niger and Senegal). The results showed that farmers have adopted various practices in response to the challenges they have faced during the last decade. A series of logit models showed that most changes farmers made to their practices are undertaken for multiple reasons. Land use and management changes including expanding farmed areas and using mineral fertilization and manure are positively related to perceived changes in the climate, such as more erratic rainfall. Planting new varieties, introducing new crops, crop rotation, expanding farmed area and using pesticides are positively associated with new market opportunities. Farm practices that require relatively high financial investment such as use of pesticides, drought-tolerant varieties and improved seeds were positively associated with the provision of technical and financial support for farmers through development projects and policies. Changes in markets and climate are both helping to promote needed changes in farming practices in West Africa. Therefore, policies that foster the development of markets for agricultural products, and improved weather- and climate-related information linked to knowledge of appropriate agricultural innovations in different environments are needed.

De nombreuses projections de l'impact du changement climatique sur les secteurs des cultures, de l'élevage et de la production halieutique de l'agriculture africaine sont rapportées dans la littérature. Cependant, ils peuvent être sans doute trop généraux pour comprendre l'ampleur de l'impact et pour éclairer les stratégies d'adaptation et les efforts d'élaboration de politiques adaptés à la promotion d'une agriculture intelligente face au climat dans la seule région de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Ce document a été synthétisé à partir de plusieurs publications scientifiques et visait à fournir des informations à jour sur les impacts du changement climatique, les stratégies d'adaptation, les politiques et les mécanismes institutionnels que chaque sous-secteur agricole avait mis en place pour faire face au changement climatique et à ses problèmes connexes en Afrique de l'Ouest. Pour chaque sous-secteur (culture, pêche et élevage), l'état actuel, les impacts du changement climatique, les stratégies d'atténuation et d'adaptation ont été analysés. En outre, nous avons examiné les récentes initiatives politiques dans la région qui favorisent le développement et l'adoption d'options agricoles intelligentes face au climat pour améliorer la résilience des systèmes agricoles et les moyens de subsistance des petits exploitants face aux risques liés au changement climatique. Des niveaux communautaire aux niveaux national et régional, diverses stratégies et politiques sont également prises pour guider les actions et les investissements en faveur d'une agriculture intelligente face au climat en Afrique de l'Ouest. En la literatura se informan muchas proyecciones del impacto del cambio climático en los sectores de producción agrícola, ganadera y pesquera de la agricultura africana. Sin embargo, podría decirse que son demasiado generales para comprender la magnitud del impacto y para informar las estrategias de adaptación y los esfuerzos de desarrollo de políticas que se adaptan a la promoción de la agricultura climáticamente inteligente solo en la región de África Occidental. Este documento se sintetizó a partir de varias publicaciones académicas y tenía como objetivo proporcionar información actualizada sobre los impactos del cambio climático, las estrategias de adaptación, las políticas y los mecanismos institucionales que cada subsector agrícola había implementado para abordar el cambio climático y sus problemas relacionados en África Occidental. Para cada subsector (cultivo, pesquería y ganadería), se ha analizado el estado actual, los impactos del cambio climático, las estrategias de mitigación y adaptación. Además, revisamos las iniciativas políticas recientes en la región que fomentan el desarrollo y la adopción de opciones agrícolas climáticamente inteligentes para mejorar la resiliencia de los sistemas agrícolas y los medios de vida de los pequeños agricultores a los riesgos del cambio climático. Desde la comunidad hasta los niveles nacional y regional, también se están adoptando diversas estrategias y políticas para guiar las acciones y la inversión en la agricultura climáticamente inteligente en África Occidental. Many projections of the impact of climate change on the crop, livestock and fishery production sectors of African agriculture are reported in the literature.

This paper was synthesized from several scholarly literature and aimed at providing up-to-date information on climate change impacts, adaptation strategies, policies and institutional mechanisms that each agriculture subsector had put in place in dealing with climate change and its related issues in West Africa. For each subsector (crop, fishery and livestock), the current status, climate change impacts, mitigation and adaption strategies have been analyzed. In addition, we reviewed recent policy initiatives in the region that foster the development and adoption of climate-smart agricultural options to improve resilience of farming systems and livelihoods of smallholder farmers to climate change risks.

De nombreuses projections de l'impact du changement climatique sur les secteurs des cultures, de l'élevage et de la production halieutique de l'agriculture africaine sont rapportées dans la littérature.

Bamboo agroforestry is currently being promoted in Ghana as a viable land use option to reduce dependence on natural forest for wood fuels. To align the design and introduction of bamboo agroforestry to the needs of farmers, information on the determinants of bamboo acceptability and adoption is necessary. It is, therefore, the aim of this study to determine how socioeconomic factors, local farming practices and local knowledge on bamboo may influence its acceptability and adoption as a component of local farming systems. Data were collected from 200 farmers in the dry semi-deciduous forest zone of Ghana using semi-structured questionnaire interviews. The results show that farmers’ traditional knowledge on bamboo including its use for charcoal production and leaves for fodder are influential determinants of bamboo adoption. Among the demographic characteristics of farmers, age and gender are the most significant predictors. It is also evident that the regular practice of leaving trees on farmlands and type of cropping system may influence bamboo integration into traditional farming systems.

In the literature, a lot is discussed about how agroforestry can achieve the mitigation, adaptation and productivity goals of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). However, this may be relatively too broad to assess the trade-offs and synergies of how specific agroforestry technologies or practices achieve the three pillars of CSA. Here, we provide an overview of how improved fallows (an agroforestry technology consisting of planting mainly legume tree/shrub species in rotation with cultivated crops) may achieve the goals of climate-smart agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Our review showed that improved fallow systems have real potential to contribute to food security and climate change mitigation and adaptation in SSA. Under proper management, improved fallows can increase maize yields to about 6 t ha−1, which is comparable to conventional maize yields under fertilization. This is attributed to improved soil fertility and nutrient use efficiency. Although data was generally limited, the growing literature showed that improved fallows increased soil carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse emissions. Further, as a multiple output land use system, improved fallows may increase fodder availability during dry periods and provide substantial biomass for charcoal production. These livelihood options may become important financial safety nets during off seasons or in the event of crop failures. This notwithstanding, the adoption of improved fallows is mainly in Southern and Eastern Africa, where over 20,000 farmers are now using Sesbania sesban, Tephrosia vogelii, and Cajanus cajan in two-year fallows followed by maize rotations. Land tenure issues, lack of social capital, and improved germplasm and accessions of fallow species have been cited as constraints to scaling up. However, development of seed orchards, nursery development, and the willingness of policy makers to create a policy environment that addresses market failures and alleviates disincentives should improve adoption and future scaling up.

Here, we provide an overview of how improved fallows (an agroforestry technology consisting of planting mainly legume tree/shrub species in rotation with cultivated crops) may achieve the goals of climate-smart agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Our review showed that improved fallow systems have real potential to contribute to food security and climate change mitigation and adaptation in SSA. Under proper management, improved fallows can increase maize yields to about 6 t ha−1, which is comparable to conventional maize yields under fertilization. This is attributed to improved soil fertility and nutrient use efficiency. Although data was generally limited, the growing literature showed that improved fallows increased soil carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse emissions. Further, as a multiple output land use system, improved fallows may increase fodder availability during dry periods and provide substantial biomass for charcoal production. These livelihood options may become important financial safety nets during off seasons or in the event of crop failures. This notwithstanding, the adoption of improved fallows is mainly in Southern and Eastern Africa, where over 20,000 farmers are now using Sesbania sesban, Tephrosia vogelii, and Cajanus cajan in two-year fallows followed by maize rotations. Land tenure issues, lack of social capital, and improved germplasm and accessions of fallow species have been cited as constraints to scaling up. However, development of seed orchards, nursery development, and the willingness of policy makers to create a policy environment that addresses market failures and alleviates disincentives should improve adoption and future scaling up.

This paper systematically reviewed the relevant literature to generate evidence and identify knowledge gaps on the gender perspectives of ICT use for agriculture and climate response in West Africa. It was evident from the literature that ICTs continue to form an important part of agricultural operations, climate response and agribusiness in West Africa. TV, radio and mobile phones were the most frequently used ICT platforms for receiving agricultural and climate information. Mobile phones have an added use for sales and financial transactions. There were no distinct gender differences in the use of ICTs for agriculture and climate response. However, women’s low income and limitations in controlling household financial responses were identified as significant barriers to ICT access. It was evident that ICTs may contribute to achieving gender outcomes in agriculture and climate response if an enabling environment is created for women to have access to the inputs and resources needed to implement agro-advisories. From the results obtained, there are clear indications that the gender perspectives of ICT use in agriculture and climate response has not received much research attention. The analyses identified important knowledge gaps on gender disaggregated information on the linkages among ICT use, agricultural productivity and climate adaptation indicators.

This paper reviewed the prospects for climate-smart agriculture (CSA) development and promotion in West Africa as well as lessons learnt and challenges with a focus on climate change and variability. It was evident from the literature that West Africa is vulnerable to climate change and variability, on account of its socio-economic and physical characteristics. As climate change and variability persists, the region's quest to use agriculture as the mainstream opportunity to deliver on set targets of the sustainable development goals will be strongly challenged without appropriate interventions. Adopting CSA seems to be a suitable strategy to achieving food security while also mitigating and adapting to climate-related risks. Among numerous CSA technologies, the review found (1) agroforestry (farmer-managed natural regenerations), soil and water conservation technologies (zai, half-moon, tie/contour ridges, conservation agriculture) and (3) climate information services as highly valued promising options for climate change adaptation and risk management in West Africa. In addition, institutional settings at the community, national and regional levels such as the establishment of multi-stakeholder innovation platforms, national science policy dialogue platforms on CSA in parts of West Africa and the formulation of the West Africa CSA Alliance were found to be crucial in promoting capacity development and awareness of CSA technologies and innovations in the region. The review found that CSA still faces a number of challenges, including: lack of clear conceptual understanding, limited enabling policy and financing. The prospects of CSA in West Africa hinge on the capacities of farming households and the region's national institutions to understand the environmental, economic and social challenges in the context of climate change, and consequently self-mobilize to develop and implement responsive policies at appropriate scales.

Climate information is recognized as a powerful tool to reduce the effect of climate risk and uncertainty on crop production and increase the resilience and the adaptive capacity of farmers in semi-arid zones. This paper estimates farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for climate information within cowpea and sesame value chains in Northern Burkina Faso. The study used the contingent valuation method for a monetary valuation of farmers’ preferences for climate information. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 170 farmers. The study found that 63% of respondents were willing to pay for climate information services (CIS) such as seasonal climate forecast (SCF), decadal climate information (10-DCI), daily climate information (1-DCI) and agro-advisories. The predicted value for the WTP was XOF 3496 for SCF, XOF 1066 for 10-DCI, XOF 1985 for 1-DCI and XOF 1628 for agro-advisories. The study also showed that several socioeconomic and motivation factors have greater influence on farmers’ WTP for CIS. These included the gender, age, education of the farm head and the awareness of farm head to climate information. The outcomes of this paper should support policy makers to better design an efficient mechanism for the dissemination of climate information to improve the adaptive capacity of farmers to climate risks in Burkina Faso.

La perspective de genre de l'utilisation de l'information climatique n'est pas bien étudiée, bien qu'elle soit nécessaire pour développer des services d'information climatique (SIC) sensibles au genre. Cette étude a déterminé comment l'utilisation de la SIC par les agriculteurs et agricultrices peut être influencée par leurs perceptions du changement climatique (CC), des activités agricoles et de la démographie. L'étude a été réalisée dans les districts de Lawra-Jirapa de la région du Haut-Ouest du Ghana, où des informations sur les prévisions saisonnières réduites grâce aux technologies de téléphonie mobile (plate-forme Esoko) ont été diffusées aux agriculteurs depuis 2011. Les données ont été recueillies à partir d'entretiens semi-structurés par questionnaire impliquant 900 agriculteurs (50,2 % de femmes et 49,8 % d'hommes) et de quatre groupes de discussion de 20 membres. L'étude a confirmé que 85,2 % (représentant 767) des agriculteurs étaient conscients du changement climatique et de ses implications pour leur agriculture et leurs autres activités de subsistance. Les hommes et les femmes avaient des perceptions similaires du changement climatique, perçus par la majorité comme une augmentation des vents forts, des températures plus élevées, une augmentation de la fréquence des sécheresses, une augmentation de la variabilité des précipitations et une augmentation des inondations. Entre autres facteurs, il était évident que l'utilisation de l'ECI pouvait être influencée par le sexe. Les hommes se sont révélés particulièrement réceptifs à l'adoption de l'utilisation de l'ECI pour l'atténuation des risques climatiques. Cela a été attribué à leur capacité à accéder et à utiliser facilement les appareils téléphoniques par rapport aux femmes. L'étude a révélé que, contrairement aux femmes, les hommes étaient en mesure d'accéder à plus de ressources financières et avaient le contrôle du revenu du ménage, ce qui leur permettait d'acheter des téléphones portables. Les femmes accédaient généralement aux téléphones portables de leurs maris. Malgré les différences d'accès au cis, l'étude a montré que les hommes et les femmes le trouvaient bénéfique pour la prise de décision stratégique agricole, comme le moment de commencer la préparation des terres, le moment de planter et la culture à sélectionner. En outre, les hommes et les femmes ont été confrontés à des contraintes similaires (telles qu'une mauvaise connectivité réseau et une formation limitée) pour accéder et utiliser le cis via la plate-forme Esoko. L'étude recommande la nécessité d'explorer différents canaux de diffusion des SIC et de concevoir des SIC qui répondent aux besoins spécifiques au genre. La perspectiva de género del uso de la información climática no está bien estudiada, aunque es necesaria para desarrollar servicios de información climática (CIS) sensibles al género. Este estudio determinó cómo el uso de CIS por parte de hombres y mujeres agricultores puede verse influenciado por sus percepciones sobre el cambio climático (CC), las actividades agrícolas y la demografía. El estudio se llevó a cabo en los distritos de Lawra-Jirapa de la región del Alto Oeste de Ghana, donde la información de pronóstico estacional a escala reducida a través de tecnologías de telefonía móvil (plataforma Esoko) se había difundido a los agricultores desde 2011. Los datos se recopilaron a partir de entrevistas de cuestionarios semiestructurados que involucraron a 900 agricultores (50.2% mujeres y 49.8% hombres) y cuatro discusiones de grupos focales de 20 miembros. El estudio confirmó que el 85,2% (lo que representa 767) de los agricultores eran conscientes del cambio climático y sus implicaciones para su agricultura y otras actividades de subsistencia. Hombres y mujeres tenían percepciones similares sobre el cambio climático, percibidas por la mayoría como un aumento de los vientos fuertes, temperaturas más altas, mayor frecuencia de sequía, mayor variabilidad de las precipitaciones y mayor inundación. Entre otros factores, fue evidente que el uso de CIS puede estar influenciado por el género. Se descubrió que los hombres son particularmente receptivos al adoptar el uso de CIS para la mitigación del riesgo climático. Esto se atribuyó a su capacidad para acceder y utilizar fácilmente los dispositivos telefónicos en comparación con las mujeres. El estudio reveló que, a diferencia de las mujeres, los hombres podían acceder a más recursos financieros y tenían el control de los ingresos del hogar, lo que les permitía comprar teléfonos móviles. Las mujeres generalmente accedían a los teléfonos móviles de sus maridos. A pesar de las diferencias en el acceso al CIS, el estudio mostró que tanto hombres como mujeres lo encontraron beneficioso para la toma de decisiones estratégicas de las granjas, como cuándo comenzar la preparación de la tierra, cuándo plantar y qué cultivo seleccionar. Además, se descubrió que tanto hombres como mujeres se enfrentaban a limitaciones similares (como una conectividad de red deficiente y una capacitación limitada) para acceder y utilizar el CIS a través de la plataforma Esoko. El estudio recomienda la necesidad de explorar diferentes canales de difusión del CIS y diseñar un CIS que satisfaga las necesidades específicas de género. The gender perspective of climate information use is not well studied although necessary for developing gender-responsive climate information services (CIS). This study determined how CIS use by men and women farmers may be influenced by their perceptions about climate change (CC), farm activities, and demography. The study was carried out at the Lawra-Jirapa Districts of the Upper West Region of Ghana where downscaled seasonal forecast information through mobile phone technologies (Esoko platform) had been disseminated to farmers since 2011. Data was collected from semi-structured questionnaire interviews involving 900 farmers (50.2% women and 49.8% men) and four 20-member focus group discussions. The study confirmed 85.2% (representing 767) farmers were aware of climate change and its implications for their agriculture and other livelihood activities. Men and women had similar perceptions about climate change, perceived by the majority as increased strong winds, higher temperatures, increased frequency of drought, increased rainfall variability and increased flooding. Among other factors, it was evident that use of CIS may be influenced by gender. Men were found to be particularly responsive in adopting CIS use for climate risk mitigation. This was attributed to their ability to easily access and use telephone devices compared with women. The study revealed that unlike women, men were able to access more financial resources and had control of household income which allowed them to purchase mobile phones. Women generally accessed their husbands' mobile phones. Despite differences in access to CIS, the study showed both men and women found it beneficial for strategic farm decision-making such as when to begin land preparation, when to plant, and which crop to select. In addition, both men and women were found to face similar constrains (such as poor network connectivity and limited of training), to accessing and using CIS through the Esoko platform. The study recommends the need to explore different CIS dissemination channels and design CIS that meet gender-specific needs. لم يتم دراسة المنظور الجنساني لاستخدام المعلومات المناخية بشكل جيد على الرغم من أنه ضروري لتطوير خدمات المعلومات المناخية المراعية للمنظور الجنساني (CIS). حددت هذه الدراسة كيف يمكن أن يتأثر استخدام CIS من قبل المزارعين والمزارعات بتصوراتهم حول تغير المناخ (CC) والأنشطة الزراعية والديموغرافيا. أجريت الدراسة في مقاطعات لورا جيرابا في المنطقة الغربية العليا من غانا حيث تم نشر معلومات التنبؤات الموسمية المصغرة من خلال تقنيات الهاتف المحمول (منصة إسوكو) على المزارعين منذ عام 2011. تم جمع البيانات من مقابلات الاستبيان شبه المنظمة التي شملت 900 مزارع (50.2 ٪ من النساء و 49.8 ٪ من الرجال) وأربع مناقشات جماعية مركزة تضم 20 عضوًا. أكدت الدراسة أن 85.2 ٪ (يمثلون 767) مزارعًا على دراية بتغير المناخ وآثاره على زراعتهم وأنشطتهم المعيشية الأخرى. كان لدى الرجال والنساء تصورات مماثلة حول تغير المناخ، والتي تعتبرها الغالبية زيادة الرياح القوية وارتفاع درجات الحرارة وزيادة تواتر الجفاف وزيادة تقلب هطول الأمطار وزيادة الفيضانات. ومن بين العوامل الأخرى، كان من الواضح أن استخدام رابطة الدول المستقلة قد يتأثر بنوع الجنس. وجد أن الرجال يستجيبون بشكل خاص في اعتماد استخدام رابطة الدول المستقلة للتخفيف من مخاطر المناخ. ويعزى ذلك إلى قدرتهم على الوصول بسهولة إلى أجهزة الهاتف واستخدامها مقارنة بالنساء. كشفت الدراسة أنه على عكس النساء، كان الرجال قادرين على الوصول إلى المزيد من الموارد المالية وكان لديهم سيطرة على دخل الأسرة مما سمح لهم بشراء الهواتف المحمولة. تمكنت النساء بشكل عام من الوصول إلى هواتف أزواجهن المحمولة. على الرغم من الاختلافات في الوصول إلى رابطة الدول المستقلة، أظهرت الدراسة أن كل من الرجال والنساء وجدوا أنه من المفيد اتخاذ القرارات الزراعية الاستراتيجية مثل متى يبدأون في إعداد الأراضي، ومتى يزرعون، وأي محصول يختارون. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، وجد أن كل من الرجال والنساء يواجهون قيودًا مماثلة (مثل ضعف الاتصال بالشبكة ومحدودية التدريب)، للوصول إلى CIS واستخدامها من خلال منصة Esoko. توصي الدراسة بالحاجة إلى استكشاف قنوات نشر مختلفة لرابطة الدول المستقلة وتصميم رابطة الدول المستقلة التي تلبي الاحتياجات الخاصة بنوع الجنس.

La perspective de genre de l'utilisation de l'information climatique n'est pas bien étudiée, bien qu'elle soit nécessaire pour développer des services d'information climatique (SIC) sensibles au genre. Cette étude a déterminé comment l'utilisation de la SIC par les agriculteurs et agricultrices peut être influencée par leurs perceptions du changement climatique (CC), des activités agricoles et de la démographie. L'étude a été réalisée dans les districts de Lawra-Jirapa de la région du Haut-Ouest du Ghana, où des informations sur les prévisions saisonnières réduites grâce aux technologies de téléphonie mobile (plate-forme Esoko) ont été diffusées aux agriculteurs depuis 2011. Les données ont été recueillies à partir d'entretiens semi-structurés par questionnaire impliquant 900 agriculteurs (50,2 % de femmes et 49,8 % d'hommes) et de quatre groupes de discussion de 20 membres. L'étude a confirmé que 85,2 % (représentant 767) des agriculteurs étaient conscients du changement climatique et de ses implications pour leur agriculture et leurs autres activités de subsistance. Les hommes et les femmes avaient des perceptions similaires du changement climatique, perçus par la majorité comme une augmentation des vents forts, des températures plus élevées, une augmentation de la fréquence des sécheresses, une augmentation de la variabilité des précipitations et une augmentation des inondations. Entre autres facteurs, il était évident que l'utilisation de l'ECI pouvait être influencée par le sexe. Les hommes se sont révélés particulièrement réceptifs à l'adoption de l'utilisation de l'ECI pour l'atténuation des risques climatiques. Cela a été attribué à leur capacité à accéder et à utiliser facilement les appareils téléphoniques par rapport aux femmes. L'étude a révélé que, contrairement aux femmes, les hommes étaient en mesure d'accéder à plus de ressources financières et avaient le contrôle du revenu du ménage, ce qui leur permettait d'acheter des téléphones portables. Les femmes accédaient généralement aux téléphones portables de leurs maris. Malgré les différences d'accès au cis, l'étude a montré que les hommes et les femmes le trouvaient bénéfique pour la prise de décision stratégique agricole, comme le moment de commencer la préparation des terres, le moment de planter et la culture à sélectionner. En outre, les hommes et les femmes ont été confrontés à des contraintes similaires (telles qu'une mauvaise connectivité réseau et une formation limitée) pour accéder et utiliser le cis via la plate-forme Esoko. L'étude recommande la nécessité d'explorer différents canaux de diffusion des SIC et de concevoir des SIC qui répondent aux besoins spécifiques au genre. La perspectiva de género del uso de la información climática no está bien estudiada, aunque es necesaria para desarrollar servicios de información climática (CIS) sensibles al género. Este estudio determinó cómo el uso de CIS por parte de hombres y mujeres agricultores puede verse influenciado por sus percepciones sobre el cambio climático (CC), las actividades agrícolas y la demografía. El estudio se llevó a cabo en los distritos de Lawra-Jirapa de la región del Alto Oeste de Ghana, donde la información de pronóstico estacional a escala reducida a través de tecnologías de telefonía móvil (plataforma Esoko) se había difundido a los agricultores desde 2011. Los datos se recopilaron a partir de entrevistas de cuestionarios semiestructurados que involucraron a 900 agricultores (50.2% mujeres y 49.8% hombres) y cuatro discusiones de grupos focales de 20 miembros. El estudio confirmó que el 85,2% (lo que representa 767) de los agricultores eran conscientes del cambio climático y sus implicaciones para su agricultura y otras actividades de subsistencia. Hombres y mujeres tenían percepciones similares sobre el cambio climático, percibidas por la mayoría como un aumento de los vientos fuertes, temperaturas más altas, mayor frecuencia de sequía, mayor variabilidad de las precipitaciones y mayor inundación. Entre otros factores, fue evidente que el uso de CIS puede estar influenciado por el género. Se descubrió que los hombres son particularmente receptivos al adoptar el uso de CIS para la mitigación del riesgo climático. Esto se atribuyó a su capacidad para acceder y utilizar fácilmente los dispositivos telefónicos en comparación con las mujeres.

Lorsque la disponibilité des engrais conventionnels est limitée, l'utilisation de matières organiques est considérée comme une alternative viable pour augmenter la capacité de production des sols. De nombreux résidus végétaux potentiels restent sous-utilisés en raison de recherches limitées sur leur utilisation comme source de nutriments. Dans cette étude, les capacités d'approvisionnement en azote de dix sources de biomasse foliaire rarement utilisées (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala et Zea mays) ont été testées en fonction de leur teneur en nutriments, de leurs profils de minéralisation de l'azote et de leur effet sur le rendement du maïs (en comparaison avec les engrais inorganiques). La minéralisation N a été étudiée en laboratoire à l'aide d'une expérience d'incubation. Des essais sur le terrain ont également été établis à l'aide d'un modèle de bloc complet randomisé. Les résidus végétaux ont été appliqués à 5 t de matière sèche ha−1 par semaine avant la plantation du maïs, tandis que l'engrais a été appliqué à 90 kg N ha−1 sur les parcelles désignées. D'après les résultats sur la chimie des résidus végétaux, la plupart des résidus végétaux ont enregistré une concentration relativement élevée de N (≥24,9 g kg−1) et un faible rapport C/N (≤20,1) bien que ni la teneur en N ni le rapport C/N n'aient affecté de manière significative (p > 0,05) leurs modèles de minéralisation de N. L'application de biomasse foliaire de B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia et de souche de maïs a entraîné une immobilisation initiale nette de l'azote qui a duré 14 jours. L'application de tous les matériaux végétaux a considérablement augmenté le rendement biologique et l'absorption d'azote du maïs, G. sepium et T. diversifolia produisant le plus grand impact, en particulier pendant la grande saison des pluies. Par rapport au témoin, le rendement céréalier total après quatre saisons de culture était comparable entre les traitements par engrais inorganiques (9,2 t ha−1), G. sepium (8,8 t ha−1) et T. diversifolia (9,4 t ha−1). Les résultats sur le rendement biologique du maïs étaient significativement corrélés avec les effets des traitements sur l'absorption de l'azote. Les résultats suggèrent que dans les endroits où les engrais inorganiques sont limités, la biomasse foliaire de G. sepium et T. diversifolia pourrait offrir l'option la plus appropriée par rapport aux autres espèces utilisées dans cette étude. Cuando existe una disponibilidad limitada de fertilizantes convencionales, el uso de materiales orgánicos se considera una alternativa viable para aumentar la capacidad productiva de los suelos. Muchos residuos vegetales potenciales siguen infrautilizados debido a la limitada investigación sobre su uso como fuente de nutrientes. En este estudio, se probaron las capacidades de suministro de nitrógeno de diez fuentes de biomasa foliar raramente utilizadas (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala y Zea mays) en función de su contenido de nutrientes, patrones de mineralización de N y efecto sobre el rendimiento del maíz (en comparación con los fertilizantes inorgánicos). La mineralización de N se estudió en el laboratorio utilizando un experimento de incubación. Los ensayos de campo también se establecieron utilizando un diseño de bloque completo aleatorizado. Los residuos vegetales se aplicaron a 5 t de materia seca ha−1 a la semana antes de plantar maíz, mientras que el fertilizante se aplicó por división a 90 kg N ha−1 en las parcelas designadas. A partir de los resultados sobre la química de los residuos vegetales, la mayoría de los residuos vegetales registraron una concentración de N relativamente alta (≥24.9 g kg−1) y una relación C/N baja (≤20.1), aunque ni el contenido de N ni la relación C/N afectaron significativamente (p > 0.05) sus patrones de mineralización de N. La aplicación de biomasa foliar de B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia y rastrojo de maíz dio como resultado una inmovilización inicial de N neto que duró 14 días. La aplicación de todos los materiales vegetales aumentó significativamente el rendimiento biológico y la absorción de N del maíz, con G. sepium y T. diversifolia produciendo el mayor impacto, especialmente en la principal temporada de lluvias. En relación con el control, el rendimiento total de grano después de cuatro temporadas de cultivo fue comparable entre los tratamientos con fertilizantes inorgánicos (9,2 t ha-1), G. sepium (8,8 t ha-1) y T. diversifolia (9,4 t ha-1). Los resultados sobre el rendimiento biológico del maíz se correlacionaron significativamente con los efectos de los tratamientos sobre la absorción de N. Los hallazgos sugieren que en lugares donde los fertilizantes inorgánicos son limitados, la biomasa foliar de G. sepium y T. diversifolia podría ofrecer la opción más adecuada en comparación con las otras especies utilizadas en este estudio. Where there is limited availability of conventional fertilizers, the use of organic materials is considered a viable alternative to increase the productive capacity of soils. Many potential plant residues remain underutilized due to limited research on their use as a nutrient source. In this study, the nitrogen supplying capabilities of ten rarely-used leaf biomass sources (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala and Zea mays) were tested based on their nutrient content, N mineralization patterns and effect on maize yield (in comparison with inorganic fertilizer). N mineralization was studied in the laboratory using an incubation experiment. Field trials were also established using a randomized complete block design. Plant residues were applied at 5 t dry matter ha−1 a week before planting maize while fertilizer was split-applied at 90 kg N ha−1 on designated plots. From the results on plant residue chemistry, most of the plant residues recorded relatively high N concentration (≥24.9 g kg−1) and low C/N ratio (≤20.1) although neither N content nor C/N ratio significantly (p > 0.05) affected their N mineralization patterns. Leaf biomass application of B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia and maize stover resulted in an initial net N immobilization that lasted for 14 days. Application of all plant materials significantly increased the biological yield and N uptake of maize with G. sepium and T. diversifolia producing the greatest impact especially in the major rainy season. Relative to the control, total grain yield after four cropping seasons was comparable between inorganic fertilizer (9.2 t ha−1), G. sepium (8.8 t ha−1) and T. diversifolia (9.4 t ha−1) treatments. The results on maize biological yield were significantly correlated with the effects of the treatments on N uptake. The findings suggest that in locations where inorganic fertilizers are limited, leaf biomass from G. sepium and T. diversifolia could offer the most suitable option in comparison with the other species used in this study. عندما يكون هناك توفر محدود للأسمدة التقليدية، يعتبر استخدام المواد العضوية بديلاً قابلاً للتطبيق لزيادة القدرة الإنتاجية للتربة. لا تزال العديد من بقايا النباتات المحتملة غير مستغلة بشكل كامل بسبب البحوث المحدودة حول استخدامها كمصدر للمغذيات. في هذه الدراسة، تم اختبار قدرات توريد النيتروجين لعشرة مصادر للكتلة الحيوية للأوراق نادرة الاستخدام (Acacia auriculiformis و Baphia nitida و Albizia zygia و Azadirachta indica و Senna siamea و Senna spectabilis و Tithonia diversifolia و Gliricidia sepium و Leucaena leucocephala و Zea mays) بناءً على محتواها من المغذيات وأنماط تمعدن N وتأثيرها على محصول الذرة (مقارنة بالأسمدة غير العضوية). تمت دراسة التمعدن في المختبر باستخدام تجربة الحضانة. كما تم إنشاء تجارب ميدانية باستخدام تصميم كتلة كاملة عشوائية. تم تطبيق بقايا النبات عند 5 طن من المادة الجافة هكتار-1 قبل أسبوع من زراعة الذرة بينما تم تقسيم الأسمدة - تم تطبيقها عند 90 كجم هكتار-1 على قطع مخصصة. من النتائج على كيمياء بقايا النبات، سجلت معظم بقايا النبات تركيز N مرتفعًا نسبيًا (≥24.9 جم كجم−1) ونسبة C/N منخفضة (≤20.1) على الرغم من عدم تأثير محتوى N ولا نسبة C/N بشكل كبير (p > 0.05) على أنماط تمعدن N الخاصة بهم. أدى استخدام الكتلة الحيوية للأوراق من B. nitida، A. auriculiformis، A. zygia و stover الذرة إلى تثبيت N صافي أولي استمر لمدة 14 يومًا. أدى استخدام جميع المواد النباتية إلى زيادة كبيرة في المحصول البيولوجي وامتصاص الذرة مع G. sepium و T. diversifolia مما أدى إلى أكبر تأثير خاصة في موسم الأمطار الرئيسي. بالنسبة للتحكم، كان إجمالي محصول الحبوب بعد أربعة مواسم زراعة متشابهًا بين الأسمدة غير العضوية (9.2 طن هكتار-1)، و G. sepium (8.8 طن هكتار-1) و T. diversifolia (9.4 طن هكتار-1) المعالجات. كانت النتائج على المحصول البيولوجي للذرة مرتبطة بشكل كبير بتأثيرات العلاجات على الامتصاص. تشير النتائج إلى أنه في المواقع التي تكون فيها الأسمدة غير العضوية محدودة، يمكن أن توفر الكتلة الحيوية للأوراق من G. sepium و T. diversifolia الخيار الأنسب بالمقارنة مع الأنواع الأخرى المستخدمة في هذه الدراسة.

Dans cette étude, les capacités d'approvisionnement en azote de dix sources de biomasse foliaire rarement utilisées (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala et Zea mays) ont été testées en fonction de leur teneur en nutriments, de leurs profils de minéralisation de l'azote et de leur effet sur le rendement du maïs (en comparaison avec les engrais inorganiques). La minéralisation N a été étudiée en laboratoire à l'aide d'une expérience d'incubation. Des essais sur le terrain ont également été établis à l'aide d'un modèle de bloc complet randomisé. Les résidus végétaux ont été appliqués à 5 t de matière sèche ha−1 par semaine avant la plantation du maïs, tandis que l'engrais a été appliqué à 90 kg N ha−1 sur les parcelles désignées. D'après les résultats sur la chimie des résidus végétaux, la plupart des résidus végétaux ont enregistré une concentration relativement élevée de N (≥24,9 g kg−1) et un faible rapport C/N (≤20,1) bien que ni la teneur en N ni le rapport C/N n'aient affecté de manière significative (p > 0,05) leurs modèles de minéralisation de N. L'application de biomasse foliaire de B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia et de souche de maïs a entraîné une immobilisation initiale nette de l'azote qui a duré 14 jours. L'application de tous les matériaux végétaux a considérablement augmenté le rendement biologique et l'absorption d'azote du maïs, G. sepium et T. diversifolia produisant le plus grand impact, en particulier pendant la grande saison des pluies. Par rapport au témoin, le rendement céréalier total après quatre saisons de culture était comparable entre les traitements par engrais inorganiques (9,2 t ha−1), G. sepium (8,8 t ha−1) et T. diversifolia (9,4 t ha−1). Les résultats sur le rendement biologique du maïs étaient significativement corrélés avec les effets des traitements sur l'absorption de l'azote. Les résultats suggèrent que dans les endroits où les engrais inorganiques sont limités, la biomasse foliaire de G. sepium et T. diversifolia pourrait offrir l'option la plus appropriée par rapport aux autres espèces utilisées dans cette étude. Cuando existe una disponibilidad limitada de fertilizantes convencionales, el uso de materiales orgánicos se considera una alternativa viable para aumentar la capacidad productiva de los suelos. Muchos residuos vegetales potenciales siguen infrautilizados debido a la limitada investigación sobre su uso como fuente de nutrientes. En este estudio, se probaron las capacidades de suministro de nitrógeno de diez fuentes de biomasa foliar raramente utilizadas (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala y Zea mays) en función de su contenido de nutrientes, patrones de mineralización de N y efecto sobre el rendimiento del maíz (en comparación con los fertilizantes inorgánicos). La mineralización de N se estudió en el laboratorio utilizando un experimento de incubación. Los ensayos de campo también se establecieron utilizando un diseño de bloque completo aleatorizado. Los residuos vegetales se aplicaron a 5 t de materia seca ha−1 a la semana antes de plantar maíz, mientras que el fertilizante se aplicó por división a 90 kg N ha−1 en las parcelas designadas. A partir de los resultados sobre la química de los residuos vegetales, la mayoría de los residuos vegetales registraron una concentración de N relativamente alta (≥24.9 g kg−1) y una relación C/N baja (≤20.1), aunque ni el contenido de N ni la relación C/N afectaron significativamente (p > 0.05) sus patrones de mineralización de N. La aplicación de biomasa foliar de B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia y rastrojo de maíz dio como resultado una inmovilización inicial de N neto que duró 14 días. La aplicación de todos los materiales vegetales aumentó significativamente el rendimiento biológico y la absorción de N del maíz, con G. sepium y T. diversifolia produciendo el mayor impacto, especialmente en la principal temporada de lluvias. En relación con el control, el rendimiento total de grano después de cuatro temporadas de cultivo fue comparable entre los tratamientos con fertilizantes inorgánicos (9,2 t ha-1), G. sepium (8,8 t ha-1) y T. diversifolia (9,4 t ha-1). Los resultados sobre el rendimiento biológico del maíz se correlacionaron significativamente con los efectos de los tratamientos sobre la absorción de N. Los hallazgos sugieren que en lugares donde los fertilizantes inorgánicos son limitados, la biomasa foliar de G. sepium y T. diversifolia podría ofrecer la opción más adecuada en comparación con las otras especies utilizadas en este estudio. Where there is limited availability of conventional fertilizers, the use of organic materials is considered a viable alternative to increase the productive capacity of soils. Many potential plant residues remain underutilized due to limited research on their use as a nutrient source. In this study, the nitrogen supplying capabilities of ten rarely-used leaf biomass sources (Acacia auriculiformis, Baphia nitida, Albizia zygia, Azadirachta indica, Senna siamea, Senna spectabilis, Tithonia diversifolia, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala and Zea mays) were tested based on their nutrient content, N mineralization patterns and effect on maize yield (in comparison with inorganic fertilizer). N mineralization was studied in the laboratory using an incubation experiment. Field trials were also established using a randomized complete block design. Plant residues were applied at 5 t dry matter ha−1 a week before planting maize while fertilizer was split-applied at 90 kg N ha−1 on designated plots. From the results on plant residue chemistry, most of the plant residues recorded relatively high N concentration (≥24.9 g kg−1) and low C/N ratio (≤20.1) although neither N content nor C/N ratio significantly (p > 0.05) affected their N mineralization patterns. Leaf biomass application of B. nitida, A. auriculiformis, A. zygia and maize stover resulted in an initial net N immobilization that lasted for 14 days. Application of all plant materials significantly increased the biological yield and N uptake of maize with G. sepium and T. diversifolia producing the greatest impact especially in the major rainy season. Relative to the control, total grain yield after four cropping seasons was comparable between inorganic fertilizer (9.2 t ha−1), G. sepium (8.8 t ha−1) and T. diversifolia (9.4 t ha−1) treatments. The results on maize biological yield were significantly correlated with the effects of the treatments on N uptake. The findings suggest that in locations where inorganic fertilizers are limited, leaf biomass from G. sepium and T. diversifolia could offer the most suitable option in comparison with the other species used in this study. عندما يكون هناك توفر محدود للأسمدة التقليدية، يعتبر استخدام المواد العضوية بديلاً قابلاً للتطبيق لزيادة القدرة الإنتاجية للتربة. لا تزال العديد من بقايا النباتات المحتملة غير مستغلة بشكل كامل بسبب البحوث المحدودة حول استخدامها كمصدر للمغذيات. في هذه الدراسة، تم اختبار قدرات توريد النيتروجين لعشرة مصادر للكتلة الحيوية للأوراق نادرة الاستخدام (Acacia auriculiformis و Baphia nitida و Albizia zygia و Azadirachta indica و Senna siamea و Senna spectabilis و Tithonia diversifolia و Gliricidia sepium و Leucaena leucocephala و Zea mays) بناءً على محتواها من المغذيات وأنماط تمعدن N وتأثيرها على محصول الذرة (مقارنة بالأسمدة غير العضوية). تمت دراسة التمعدن في المختبر باستخدام تجربة الحضانة. كما تم إنشاء تجارب ميدانية باستخدام تصميم كتلة كاملة عشوائية. تم تطبيق بقايا النبات عند 5 طن من المادة الجافة هكتار-1 قبل أسبوع من زراعة الذرة بينما تم تقسيم الأسمدة - تم تطبيقها عند 90 كجم هكتار-1 على قطع مخصصة. من النتائج على كيمياء بقايا النبات، سجلت معظم بقايا النبات تركيز N مرتفعًا نسبيًا (≥24.9 جم كجم−1) ونسبة C/N منخفضة (≤20.1) على الرغم من عدم تأثير محتوى N ولا نسبة C/N بشكل كبير (p > 0.05) على أنماط تمعدن N الخاصة بهم. أدى استخدام الكتلة الحيوية للأوراق من B. nitida، A. auriculiformis، A. zygia و stover الذرة إلى تثبيت N صافي أولي استمر لمدة 14 يومًا. أدى استخدام جميع المواد النباتية إلى زيادة كبيرة في المحصول البيولوجي وامتصاص الذرة مع G. sepium و T. diversifolia مما أدى إلى أكبر تأثير خاصة في موسم الأمطار الرئيسي. بالنسبة للتحكم، كان إجمالي محصول الحبوب بعد أربعة مواسم زراعة متشابهًا بين الأسمدة غير العضوية (9.2 طن هكتار-1)، و G. sepium (8.8 طن هكتار-1) و T. diversifolia (9.4 طن هكتار-1) المعالجات. كانت النتائج على المحصول البيولوجي للذرة مرتبطة بشكل كبير بتأثيرات العلاجات على الامتصاص. تشير النتائج إلى أنه في المواقع التي تكون فيها الأسمدة غير العضوية محدودة، يمكن أن توفر الكتلة الحيوية للأوراق من G. sepium و T. diversifolia الخيار الأنسب بالمقارنة مع الأنواع الأخرى المستخدمة في هذه الدراسة.
