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
