• Postdoctoral Fellow of Cowpea Agronomy

  • 2013 - 2016

  I identified cowpea for low phosphorus tolerance and good responder to phosphate rock application. Additionally, the optimum amount of phosphate rock application (Togolese) was identified to cowpea cultivation. This indicated the high possibility to create the reasonable or the affordable methods for farmers in sub-Saharan Africa to enhance the cowpea yields.

  I tried to identify the useful method to manage the natural resources of Mali and Niger in the project of JIRCAS for five years. In the forest resources, the farmers used to use the natural resources following their traditional knowledge but now the high population rate is preventing to use with the same method. This is very serious problem. On the other hand, the soil fertility managements was very interesting in farmers. I created the demonstration fields with farmers'helps. The farmers showed the possibility to accept some techniques to improve their crops yields if they can see the good response by crops. I focused on the dissemination of micro-dosing of fertilizer and rotation system of cowpea and millet. Consequently, micro-dosing with organic matter application was very popular for farmers due to the high yields of millet. Show less
