Avedi, E.K.Ochieno, D.M.Ajanga, S.Wanyama, C.Wainwright, H.Elzein, A.Beed, Fen D.[Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae strain Foxy 2 did not achieve biological control of Striga hermonthica parasitizing maize in Western Kenya]Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae strain Foxy 2 did not achieve biological control of Striga hermonthica parasitizing maize in Western Kenya
Mahuku, George S.Lockhart, B.E.L.Wanjala, B.W.Jones, M.Kimunye, J.N.Stewart, L.R.Cassone, B.J.Sevgan, S.Nyasani, J.O.Kusia, E.Kumar, P.L.Niblett, C.L.Kiggundu, A.Asea, G.Pappu, H.R.Wangai, A.Prasanna, B.M.Redinbaugh, M.G.[Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN), an emerging threat to maize-based food security in sub-Saharan Africa]Maize Lethal Necrosis (MLN), an emerging threat to maize-based food security in sub-Saharan Africa

Questions as to which crop to grow, where, when and with what management, will be increasingly challenging for farmers in the face of a changing climate. The objective of this study was to evaluate emergence, yield and financial benefits of maize, finger millet and sorghum, planted at different d...


Rurinda, J.P.Mapfumo, PaulWijk, Mark T. vanMtambanengwe, F.Rufino, Mariana C.Chikowo, RegisGiller, Ken E.[Comparative assessment of productivity of maize, finger millet and sorghum for household food security in the face of increasing climatic risk]Comparative assessment of productivity of maize, finger millet and sorghum for household food security in the face of increasing climatic risk

Climate-smart interventions in agriculture have varying costs and environmental and economic impacts. Their implementation requires appropriate investment decisions by policy makers that are relevant for current as well as future scenarios of agro-ecology, climate and economic development. Decisi...


Aggarwal, Pramod K.Thornton, Philip K.Dunnett, AlexShirsath, Paresh B.Joshi, Pramod K.Pal, Barun DKhatri-Chhetri, ArunGhosh, Joydeep[Multi-objective land use allocation modelling for prioritizing climate-smart agricultural interventions]Multi-objective land use allocation modelling for prioritizing climate-smart agricultural interventions

In Nigeria, increased land-use intensity has depressed the use of fallow for soil fertility restoration. Crop yields have fallen, threatening food security. High cost limits farmers’ access to fertilizers. Reliance on crop-livestock interaction is plausible because animals provide manure. This pa...


Chianu, J.N.Tsujii, H.Manyong, Victor M.[Crop-livestock interaction in the savannas of Nigeria: nature and determinants of farmer decision to use manure for soil fertility maintenance]Crop-livestock interaction in the savannas of Nigeria: nature and determinants of farmer decision to use manure for soil fertility maintenance

This study comprises a set of methane emission measurements in rice fields located in the four agro-ecological zones of the Mekong River Delta (MRD), namely the zones with (i) alluvial soils, (ii) salinity intrusion, (iii) deep flood, and (iv) acid sulfate soils. These zones have very distinct bi...


Vo, Thi Bach ThuongWassmann, ReinerTirol-Padre, AgnesCao, Van PhuongMacDonald, BenEspaldon, Maria VictoriaSander, Bjoern Ole[Methane emission from rice cultivation in different agro-ecological zones of the Mekong river delta: seasonal patterns and emission factors for baseline water management]Methane emission from rice cultivation in different agro-ecological zones of the Mekong river delta: seasonal patterns and emission factors for baseline water management

For agriculture to play a role in climate change mitigation strategies to reduce emissions from inorganic nitrogen (N) fertilizer through a more balanced and efficient use are necessary. Such strategies should align with the overarching principle of sustainable intensification and will need to co...


Farnworth, Cathy R.Stirling, Clare M.Sapkota, Tek B.Jat, Mangi LalMisiko, Michael T.Simon, Attwood[Gender and inorganic nitrogen: what are the implications of moving towards a more balanced use of nitrogen fertilizer in the tropics?]Gender and inorganic nitrogen: what are the implications of moving towards a more balanced use of nitrogen fertilizer in the tropics?

Few field studies examine greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from African agricultural systems, resulting in high uncertainty for national inventories. This lack of data is particularly noticeable in smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa, where low inputs are often correlated with low yields, often...

CCAFS-MOT is a tool to support farmers, policy advisors and agricultural extension services on the choice of management practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) without risking food security. It is an Excel-based tool which brings together several empirical models to estimate GHG emis...
