Cassava farmers' preferences for varieties and seed dissemination system in Nigeria: gender and regional perspectives
Previous studies on the adoption and impacts of improved crop varieties have relied on self-reported adoption status of the surveyed households. However, in the presence of weak variety maintenance and poorly functioning seed certification system, measurement errors in self-reported adoption stat...
