Knowledge of magnitude and timing of weed seedling flushes is crucial in managing weeds adequately. Such knowledge is especially important for small-scale farmers in West Africa who spend a greater percentage of family labour in controlling weeds. This study assessed the composition, pattern and ...

Fungal incidence and mycotoxin contamination of farm-stored maize were assessed and compared in grain samples from three villages each in two agroecological zones over time. Maize samples were collected at 2 and 4 months after stocking from 72 farmers’ stores in 1996 and 1997 in the Humid Forest ...

Parasitism of noctuid stemborer eggs was assessed in monthly surveys in maize fields in southern Benin, from May 1995 to October 1996, and on alternative hosts, i.e. wild grasses, during the dry season from November 1995 to February 1996. Sesamia calamistis was the most prevalent stemborer specie...

Background
Maize is the most important staple crop for food security and livelihood of smallholder farmers in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, but it alone cannot ensure food security. Cropping patterns must be diversified to ensure an adequate supply and economic access to greater variety of fo...

Background: An in vitro digestion and Caco-2 cell model may predict iron bioavailability to humans; however, direct comparisons are lacking.
Objective: The objective was to test the differences in iron bioavailability between 2 maize varieties and 2 bean varieties (white beans and colored beans)...
