Examines the role of baseline surveys and of farmers in farming systems research and in technology design, using the experience of ILCA's Humid Zone Programme; also examines the potential of farming systems research teams working in specific locations to provide guidelines for the development of ...
This paper undertakes an ex ante economic analysis of research on how resistance to trypanosomosis - a dominant livestock disease in Africa - can be maintained and enhanced while retaining and reinforcing characteristics of economic importance to farmers, and on how 'trypanotolerance' can be impa...

An ex ante economic and policy analysis of research on genetic resistance to livestock disease: Trypanosomiasis in Africa
Animal traction in Ethiopia has been used since the third millennium B.C. Its use is confined to land preparation and seed covering using the traditional implement 'maresha' pulled mainly by a pair of oxen under a ridged neck yoke.

It is prerequisite to extract Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) with high quality and integrity in order to carry out molecular biology studies in any plant species. Samples collected from remote fields require preservation before being processed for RNA extraction and downstream process like RT-PCR, real t...
