Accurate identification of crop cultivars is crucial in assessing the impact of crop improvement research outputs. Two commonly used identification approaches, elicitation of variety names from farmer interviews and morphological plant descriptors, have inherent uncertainty levels. Genotyping-by-...

The data applies to ex-post analysis of improved bean variety adoption. The two provinces of Northern and Muchinga provinces in Zambia constitute the biggest area share planted to bean in the country. A total of 402 bean growing households were selected from 67 villages across seven districts for...

Assessing access and adoption of improved bean varieties among the bean growing households in Northern and Southern provinces of Zambia
Varietal adoption based on household surveys has mostly relied on farmers’ response to
varietal identification. This method can give biased estimates if farmers are unable to identify
improved varieties as a group or by name, or give names that do not match with the released
variety list. To tack...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important staple crop for smallholder farmers, particularly in Eastern and Southern Africa. To support common bean breeding and seed dissemination, a high throughput SNP genotyping platform with 1500 established SNP assays has been developed at a genotypi...

This article explores an innovative approach to deliver information about new agricultural technology that combines a versatile and potentially lower cost method of developing animated videos with another low-cost method of sharing it on mobile devices (i.e. mobile phone). It describes a randomiz...
