Testing alternative methods of varietal identification using DNA fingerprinting: results of pilot studies in Ghana and Zambia
Double blind field experiments and experimental auctions were conducted with bean and cowpea farmers in Tanzania and Ghana to gauge the relative demand for three types of seed products that differ in price and quality: certified, quality declared, and recycled. Whether the cost differential makes...
