The success of inland valley crop production in humid and subhumid areas of subSaharan Africa depends on the availability of appropriate crop varieties with some tolerance to excess moisture. Performance of upland crop associations [cassava (Manihot esculenta) + sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and...

Response of selected crop associations to groundwater table depth in an inland valley
Estimating crop response to fertilizer application and identification of effective fertilizer materials is important for plant nutrient management and in sustaining soil fertility. Unlike other agro-ecological zones, no fertilizer recommendations have been established for the semi-arid zones in T...

In much of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the lack of organic soil amendments constitutes one of the principal causes for declining soil fertility in intensifying farming systems. The challenge, therefore, remains to increase the availability of organic inputs and to develop recommendations for their ...

Role of on-farm/In situ conservation and underutilized crops in the wake of climate change
This field study examined fundamental questions about the role of home gardens in conservation, namely how the dynamic nature and mutliple uses of home gardens affect the stability of this micro-system and its role as a viable conservation unit. The results presented here should contribute to the...

The Global Plan of Action on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (GPA) adopted in Leipzig, Germany in June 1996, is probably the single most important milestone in achieving a global multilateral system for plant genetic resources. Throughout the preparatory process leading to the Le...
