The management of cassava intercropping and its evaluation are described. Multiple cropping systems are defined: consecutive cropping and intercropping (mixed intercropping, row intercropping, strip intercropping, and relay intercropping). Basic biological and nutritional aspects of multiple crop...
Se presenta una descripcion del manejo de cultivos asociados con yuca y su evaluacion. Se definen lo que son los sistemas de cultivo multiple (cultivo consecutivo y cultivo intercalado o asociado-intercalado mixto, intercalado en surcos, intercalado en franjas, intercalado en relevo), se analizan...
Two methods of intensifying crop production in ‘no-external-input’ slash and burn crop fallow rotation systems: increased crop density and increased cropping frequency, were tested on an Ultisol in southern Cameroon. Two common fallow types, secondary forest (forest fallow) and young...

Climate change is projected to intensify drought and heat stress in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) crop in rainfed regions. This will require developing high yielding groundnut cultivars that are both drought and heat tolerant. The crop growth simulation model for groundnut (CROPGRO-Groundnut mo...

Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut varieties were evaluated for their response to different plant density and phosphoru...

Groundnut or peanut is an important annual oilseed and food legume crop grown in diverse environments throughout the tropical world. About 31 viruses representing 14 genera were reported to naturally infect groundnut in different parts of the world. Among these, Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), ...
Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, are a major health concern because of their
acute and chronic health effects on humans and domesticated animals. The Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) estimates that more than 4.5 billion people in the developing world are chronically
exposed...

Genotypic adaptation of Indian groundnut cultivation to climate change: an ensemble approach.
The major mycotoxins studied at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Re-search (CGIAR) institutes are aflatoxins in maize, groundnut, sorghum and cassava, Fusa-rium toxins in maize, wheat and sorghum, and ochratoxin in cocoa and cashew. Genetic en-hancement (both through plant bre...
