The knowledge of climate variability is essential for successful agriculture, especial by rain fed crops. The goal of this research was to investigate the effect of climate variability and change on maize yield in Rwanda. Fifteen weather stations across the country were used and with regard to ra...

Droughts are common in the lowland areas in the east of Rwanda while floods are frequently observed in the high grounds to the west and north of the country, which may lead to severe negative effects on agriculture during extreme climate conditions. This study aims at investigating how the variab...

The effect of climate change and variability on agricultural production systems cannot be underestimated especially in rural areas. Farmers more than often experience increased agricultural losses and reduced productivity due to weather vagaries, little or no investment in their farms etc. Rural...

The flood-based farming systems in the Ayeyarwady Delta in Myanmar are changing. Change describes the modification of the flood pattern which is constituted by depth and duration of flooding and is the determining factor for rice cultivation. Flood-induced crop loss poses the major challenge to t...

Climate change is a global challenge that is hampering Africa's socio-economic improvement. The change has had a negative impact on agricultural production and subjected smallholder farmers in Africa to food insecurity, economic constraints and shocks. These farmers lack agricultural and weather ...

Coffee production worldwide is threatened by a range of coffee pests and diseases (CPaD). Integrated management options require an understanding of the bioecology of CPaD and the prevalent interdependencies within the agroecological context. The comparison of different shading systems (e.g. shade-gr...
