Conservation agriculture in Senegal: comparing the effects of intercropping and mulching on millet yields
Situated on the western edge of Africa's harsh Sahel region, Senegal faces a number of agricultural production constraints. Limited rainfall, poor soil fertility, and insufficient agronomic inputs all contribute to low yielding millet production systems. This study was initiated to assess the …

Influence of living and non-living habitat complexity on arthropods in strip-tilled cabbage fields
… management practices were examined. Although mulching did not provide significant pest suppression, several generalist and one specialist parasitoid responded positively to habitat complexity. Predation and parasitism rates determined from natural enemy exclusion cages indicated no impact of …

Evaluating post-fire woody mulch effects on soil and stream nitrogen
… simulated rainfall events. In hillslope plots, mulching also reduced soil nitrate, with greater impacts following spring snowmelt when N losses from soils to streams was highest. However, the effect of mulching was not measurable at the catchment scale due to low application rates and mulch …

THREE ESSAYS ON THE ECONOMICS OF SMALLHOLDER AGRICULTURE IN AFRICA: LABOUR ALLOCATION, ADOPTION OF CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE AND CO-OPERATIVE PARTICIPATION
… adopted minimum disturbance, only a few adopted mulching. The results also show that farmers who consider social advice and require peer support to try new technologies are less likely to practice mulching. This suggest that mulching does not align with the local norms and values. The results of …
