This study modeled the introduction of new early cultivars of millet and cowpea, higher cowpea densities, and various fertilization strategies. Model results were then compared with farmer behaviour before and after the availability of these new technologies. The model correctly identified the tw...

Consistency of performance of early-maturing maize cultivars in Striga infested and Striga-free environments
Maize improvement at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), which began in the 1970s, built on the germplasm and experience of earlier years. The main breeding emphasis was to develop maize cultivars and hybrids with high yield potential and durable resistance to diseases and...

Multi-environment trials (METs) in West Africa have demonstrated the existence of genotype×environment interactions (G×E), which complicate the selection of superior cultivars and the best testing sites for identifying superior and stable genotypes. Two powerful statistical tools available for ME...

Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW), caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, is one of the most important diseases of banana (Musa sp.) and currently considered as the biggest threat to banana production in Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa. The pathogen is highly contagious and it...
De grandes differences existent entre les cultivars quant a la frequence et la nature des variations phenotypiques sur les plantes regenerees apres culture in vitro. Une grande part de ces variations mime la variabilite naturelle et les variants apparaissent essentiellement comme des copies d'aut...

During part of the dry season in 1996 (November to December), surveys were made for incidence of root and stem rot in 99 fields of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) randomly selected between latitudes 6°36′N and 7°49′N in Benin (79 fields) and Nigeria (20 fields). Root rot was observed in 65 fie...
