Ellis-Jones, J.Schulz, S.Chikoye, D.Haan, N. deKormawa, P.M.Adedzwa, D.[Participatory research and extension approaches: IITA research guide, No. 71]Participatory research and extension approaches: IITA research guide, No. 71

In 2012, Africa RISING conducted participatory community analysis (PCA) as the first phase of a participatory development approach in the Ethiopian highlands. The PCA identified trends, constraints, and opportunities – and shed light upon how farmers perceive livelihoods to be changing. Inputs, d...


Lunt, T.Ellis-Jones, J.Mekonnen, KinduSchulz, S.Thorne, Peter J.Schulte-Geldermann, ElmarSharma, K.[Participatory community analysis: Identifying and addressing challenges to Ethiopian smallholder livelihoods]Participatory community analysis: Identifying and addressing challenges to Ethiopian smallholder livelihoods

A number of improved varieties have been developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), combining diverse plant type with resistance or tolerance to several diseases, insect pests, and parasitic weeds and possessing other good agronomic traits. Trials were established wi...


Kamara, A.Y.Ellis-Jones, J.Ekeleme, F.Omoigui, L.O.Amaza, P.Chikoye, D.Dugje, I.Y.[A participatory evaluation of improved cowpea cultivars in the Guinea and Sudan savanna zones of north east Nigeria]A participatory evaluation of improved cowpea cultivars in the Guinea and Sudan savanna zones of north east Nigeria

Two sets of on-farm trials, each covering two years, were conducted in the northern Guinea savannah of Nigeria over the period 1999–2001, the objective being to compare integrated Striga hermonthica control measures (soybean or cowpea trap crops followed by maize resistant to Striga) with farmers...


Ellis-Jones, J.Schulz, S.Douthwaite, BoruHussaini, M.A.Oyewole, B.D.Olanrewaju, A.S.White, R.[An assessment of integrated Striga hermonthica control and early adoption by farmers in northern Nigeria]An assessment of integrated Striga hermonthica control and early adoption by farmers in northern Nigeria
Ellis-Jones, J.Chitsike, C.Ndikumana, J.[Africa RISING East and Southern Africa Review Brief - 16 March 2015]Africa RISING East and Southern Africa Review Brief - 16 March 2015

The results are presented of a project to promote integrated Striga control (ISC) technologies to farmers in the Guinea savanna of northern Nigeria. Extension agents used a participatory research and extension approach (PREA) to encourage farmers to test and adopt ISC technologies. Over a 2-year ...


Franke, A.Ellis-Jones, J.Tarawali, G.Schulz, S.Hussaini, M.A.Kureh, I.White, R.Douthwaite, BoruOyewole, B.Olanrewaju, A.S.[Evaluating and scalingup integrated Striga hermonthica control technologies among farmers in northern Nigeria]Evaluating and scalingup integrated Striga hermonthica control technologies among farmers in northern Nigeria

The strength of an innovation systems approach for Integrated Agriculture Research for Development (IAR4D) is based on a wide involvement of stakeholders, capacity building, planned progression of involvement of different actors, and the voluntary nature of participation. In this chapter, this co...


Ellis-Jones, J.Phiri, A.Chibwe, T.Gondwe, T.N.P.Nhamo, N.[Taking to scale adaptable climate smart technologies]Taking to scale adaptable climate smart technologies

Speargrass is a serious weed in many farming systems of West Africa. Participatory research and extension approaches were used to promote farmer testing of alternative speargrass management options in yam, cassava and soybean in Nigeria. Treatments were paired plots with a farmers' control and at...


Chikoye, D.Ellis-Jones, J.Avav, T.Kormawa, P.M.Udensi, U.E.Tarawali, G.Nielsen, O.K.[Promoting integrated management practices for speargrass (Imperata cylindrica (L) Raeusch.) in soybean, cassava and yam in Nigeria]Promoting integrated management practices for speargrass (Imperata cylindrica (L) Raeusch.) in soybean, cassava and yam in Nigeria

Participatory research and development approaches involving all stakeholders along the value chain have recently been hypothesized to produce quicker outcomes than the linear technology transfer model. This paper analyzed the crop yield obtained by farmers and their uptake of improved technologie...


Abdoulaye, TahirouAmaza, P.S.Olanrewaju, A.S.Ellis-Jones, J.[Promoting the adoption of innovations through participatory approaches: example from northern Nigeria]Promoting the adoption of innovations through participatory approaches: example from northern Nigeria

The parasitic angiosperms, Striga hermonthica and S. gesnerioides, obligate root parasites endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, constitute severe constraints to cereal and legume production in West and Central Africa. Over the years, a range of effective component technologies has been identified for S...
