Cost-effectiveness of Mama-SASHA: A project to improve health and nutrition through an integrated orange-fleshed sweetpotato production and health service delivery model
A 2×2×3 factorial design was used to investigate the effect of two orange-fleshed sweetpotato cultivars, three curing treatments and two homestead storage methods on the general appearance, finger-feel firmness, sweetness and overall acceptability of boiled roots. The cultivars were Apomuden and ...

Assessing nutritional value and changing behaviours regarding orange-fleshed sweetpotato use in sub-Saharan Africa.
This study used discrete and count data regression models and data collected from 732 farm households in Tanzania to test the effect of participation on a project designed to break this quality “seed” bottleneck (via technology awareness and targeted access to clean planting materials) on: i) the...

Effect of technology awareness and access on the conservation of clean planting materials of vegetatively produced crops: The case of sweetpotato.
Sweetpotato breeding requires at least 5 years to obtain an advanced breeding clone for further testing with the goal of cultivar release. An accelerated breeding scheme (ABS) can be feasible if the genotype × year interaction is low. The objectives of the present study were to describe an ABS fo...
