Description Studies on combined effects of 4 legume crops residues and rock phosphate application on pearl millet yield
were 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 x
rock phosphate doses that can sustainably improve pearl millet yield in cereal monoculture system with a low
input cost and minimum soil tillage. Over 3 years, the residual effect of previous legume crop residue
significantly improved not only the grain yield (P
