Vietnam has improved its food security situation at the price of losing traditional varieties adapted to local tastes and conditions due to increased production and use of high-yield crop varieties (mainly large scale mono-cropping). Decreased diversity of foods is a growing issue, and the existe...

Six weight-classes of white guinea yam (Dioscòrea rotundata Poir.) setts—2–5, 5.01–10, 10.01–20, 20.01–30, 30.01–40, and 40.01–50 g—were presprouted in fresh, moist sawdust in open-air, propagation beds. The 2–5 g and 5.01–10 g classes were described as microsetts. Three natural groups patterned ...

With the potential threat of more frequent climate extremes putting semi-arid crop production in jeopardy, there is a need to establish more resilient cropping systems. Intercropping is often practised by farmers in such regions, but to what extent and how can it be a viable option for future con...
