Soil and water conservation (SWC) practices like that of erosion control and soil fertility measures were commonly practiced in the semiarid region of southern Mali since the 1980s. The SWC practices were mainly meant to increase water availability in the subsurface, reduce farm water runoff and ...

Why do smallholder farmers in northern-Ghana choose to plough by hoe, with bullocks or with tractors?
Seed systems have an important role in the distribution of high-quality seed and improved varieties. The structure of seed networks also helps to determine the epidemiological risk for seedborne disease. We present a new approach for evaluating the epidemiological role of nodes in seed networks, ...

Epidemic network analysis for mitigation of invasive pathogens in seed systems: potato in Ecuador
Background and aims
Replacing paddy rice by upland systems such as maize cultivation is an on-going trend in SE Asia caused by increasing water scarcity and higher demand for meat. How such land management changes will feedback on soil C and N cycles and soil greenhouse gas emissions is not well...

This chapter discusses four species of grain legumes of the lowland tropics—that is, peanuts, pigeon peas, cowpeas, and mung beans. Various aspects of these species, such as plant improvement, plant protection, growth processes, and management are described. These four species made up 87% of both...
