Horticultural biodiversity to attain sustainable food and nutrition security. Proceedings of the International Symposia on Tropical and Temperate Horticulture
With the potential threat of more frequent climate extremes putting semi-arid crop production in jeopardy, there is a need to establish more resilient cropping systems. Intercropping is often practised by farmers in such regions, but to what extent and how can it be a viable option for future con...

In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), many crops grown by subsistence farmers are severely affected by virus diseases. These diseases are distinct from each other and have various means of spread and perennation. Many are widely distributed in the region. The causal agents of several virus diseases have b...
