The World Beta Network (WBN) was founded in 1989 on the initiative of IPGRI. The goal of all crop-specific networks is to improve international collaboration between curators of collections and researchers and users of germplasm, and, through task-sharing, to enable maximum use of the often limit...

African animal trypanosomiasis constaints the production of milk, meat and animal traction across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The tsetse-transmitted disease is particularly important in Ethiopia where at least six million cattle are exposed to the disease. In 1000 a trypanosomiasis control progra...

Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. cv.-group utilis) is widely promoted in tropical and sub-tropical regions as a green manure cover crop that can reduce weed growth and soil erosion and enhance soil fertility. To provide these benefits, the crop must attain rapid ground cover and develop subs...

A programme of forage legumes evaluation was developed at ILCA subhumid research site in Nigeria from 1985 onwards. Evaluation included monitoring herbage and seed yields, incidence of diseases/pests, regeneration ability and persistence for three growing seasons. This was followed by an in six b...

Conventional productivity evaluation criteria are inadequate to evaluate subsistence livestock production, because: (1) they fail to capture non-marketable benefits of the livestock; and (2) the core concept of a single limiting input is inappropriate to subsistence production, as multiple limiti...
