This study was conducted in the two Assin districts of the Central region of Ghana to examine factors that influence the adoption of new banana (Musa spp.) hybrids and other production technologies and to assess the impact of these technologies on smallholder farmers’ livelihoods. One hundred thi...

Economic impacts of soil fertility management research in West Africa
As part of a major effort to address soil fertility decline in West Africa, a project on balanced nutrient management systems (BNMS) has been implemented in the northern Guinea savanna (NGS) of Nigeria. The project tested and promoted two major technology packages: a combinedapplication of inorga...

Impacts of balanced nutrient management systems technologies in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria
Agricultural productivity in Africa from 1971 to 2000 is examined using the recently developed metafrontier function technique, for the purpose of studying differences in efficiency and technology gap across different regions of the continent. The results support the view that technology gap play...
