The aim of the study was to determine the geographical and seasonal variations in aflatoxin dietary exposure levels
in adults from Senegal. A total of 168 adults (50% male) were recruited from three districts: Nioro du Rip (n=90),
located in the Sudan Savannah agro-ecological zone where rainfall ...

When projecting future crop production, the skill of regional scale (>100 km resolution) crop models is limited by the spatial and temporal accuracy of the calibration and weather data used. The skill of climate models in reproducing surface properties such as mean temperature and rainfall patter...

In semi-arid regions, particularly in the Sahel, water and high-temperature stress are serious constraints for groundnut production. Understanding of combined effects of heat and drought on physiological traits, yield and its attributes is of special significance for improving groundnut productiv...

High population growth and consequent pressure for food is driving agriculture towards greater intensification in West Africa. However, due to inadequate use/availability of farm manure and fertilisers, there is a continuous decline in soil fertility and overall crop productivity. This trend must...

Groundnut research in Zimbabwe dates back to the 1950s. Makulu Red is a long season variety and it was released to farmers in 1966. Following its release, a considerable amount of research was undertaken that led to the release of four improved long season varieties, five short season varieties a...

A classification of the major ruminant livestock production systems in West Africa is proposed. The proposed typology has two major classes of systems-sole livestock and crop-livestock. The sole livestock class has two systems (rangeland-based and landless) and the crop-livestock class has three ...

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the most important oilseed crops in the rainfed areas of the Deccan Plateau in India, providing nutritious fodder for ruminants. For several decades, farmers in this region have been cultivating the traditional cultivar TMV 2. However, they have been plag...
