Ex-ante evaluation of cassava research for development in Malawi: a farm household and random utility modeling approach
Lambda-cyhalothrin (λ-cyhalothrin) is the most commonly used pyrethroid insecticide for vegetable farming in Benin. This insecticide is misused and overused by farmers, and hence may pose health hazards to consumers. We monitored λ-cyhalothrin residues in lettuce and cabbage from farms at the mar...

Lessons for appropriate technology generation: example of soil management technology at IITA
Impact studies assuming exogenous technology adoption are bound to overstate or understate the true impact of improved agricultural technologies, especially in situations where agricultural technologies are targeted to, or adopted by, a certain group of farmers. This paper examined the impact of ...

Imazapyr-Resistant Maize (IRM) is a weed control technology, not yet well adopted in the Striga prone area in Western Kenya. The adoption may expand in the future because it enhances maize production via efficiency gains. As to help farmers maximize the maize output affected by Striga for so long...

In Africa, there have been successes in cassava research in terms of the development of production technologies, particularly
improved varieties with high yield potential. The study addresses the question of whether and to what extent adoption of
improved cassava varieties has led to rural povert...
