Accounting for correlation among environmental covariates improves delineation of extrapolation suitability index for agronomic technological packages

Autor: Muthoni, Francis K. Baijukya, Frederick P. Bekunda, Mateete A. Sseguya, H. Kimaro, Anthony A. Alabi, T. Mruma, S. Hoeschle-Zeledon, Irmgard

This paper generates an extrapolation suitability index (ESI) to guide scaling-out of improved maize varieties and inorganic fertilizers. The best-bet technology packages were selected based on yield gap data from trial sites in Tanzania. A modified extrapolation detection algorithm was used to g...

Measuring sustainable intensification in smallholder agroecosystems: A review

Autor: Smith, A. Snapp, Sieglinde S. Chikowo, Regis Thorne, Peter J. Bekunda, Mateete A. Glover, Jerry

Sustainable intensification (SI) is at the forefront of food security discussions as a means to meet the growing demand for agricultural production while conserving land and other resources. A broader definition of SI is emerging that takes into account the human condition, nutrition and social e...

Synthesis and review: tackling the nitrogen management challenge: from global to local scales

Autor: Reis, S. Bekunda, Mateete A. Howard, C. Karanja, N. Winiwarter, W. Yan, X. Bleeker, A. Sutton, M.A.

One of the ‘grand challenges’ of this age is the anthropogenic impact exerted on the nitrogen cycle. Issues of concern range from an excess of fixed nitrogen resulting in environmental pressures for some regions, while for other regions insufficient fixed nitrogen affects food security and may le...

Post-harvest food losses in a maize-based farming system of semi-arid savannah area of Tanzania

Autor: Abass, A.B. Ndunguru, G. Mamiro, P. Alenkhe, B. Mlingi, N. Bekunda, Mateete A.

An assessment of post-harvest handling practices and food losses in a maize-based farming system in semi-arid areas of Central and Northern Tanzania was carried out in 2012. Seventeen crops were mostly cultivated by the farmers in the surveyed areas; maize (32%), sunflower (16%) and pigeon peas (...

Dilemma of nitrogen management for future food security in sub-Saharan Africa – a review

Autor: Masso, C. Baijukya, Frederick P. Ebanyat, Peter Bouaziz, S. Wendt, J. Bekunda, Mateete A. Vanlauwe, Bernard

Food security entails having sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet dietary needs. The need to optimise nitrogen (N) use for nutrition security while minimising environmental risks in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is overdue. Challenges related to managing N use in SSA can be associated with bo...

Does crop diversity contribute to dietary diversity? evidence from integration of vegetables into maize‑based farming systems

Autor: Rajendran, S. Afari-Sefa, Victor Shee, Apurba Bocher, T. Bekunda, Mateete A. Dominick, I. Lukumay, Philipo J.

Background Maize is the most important staple crop for food security and livelihood of smallholder farmers in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, but it alone cannot ensure food security. Cropping patterns must be diversified to ensure an adequate supply and economic access to greater variety of fo...
