Cassava improvement research at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (I1TA) developed several new varieties during 1976-1985 that entered into the cassava culture of Oyo State of Nigeria where IITA is situated. The focus of this study was to determine the level of overall impact of...

The adoption decisions of subsistence multicrop producers regarding improved cassava variety (TMS 30572) in the humid tropical rainforest ecology of Southwestern Nigeria were analysed within a qualitative choice framework. The empirical results revealed that younger farmers producing marketable s...

Effective management of potato diseases such as bacterial wilt and late blight depends to a large extent on farmers’ knowledge of the diseases as well as on the integration of recommended management methods in their daily practices. Late blight has continued to be a dominant potato disease for ma...

We calculated a simple indicator of food availability using data from 93 sites in 17 countries across contrasted agroecologies in sub- Saharan Africa (>13,000 farm households) and analyzed the drivers of variations in food availability. Crop production was the major source of energy, contributing...

Iron toxicity reduces rice (Otyza sativa L.) grain yield in many poorly drained swamps in West Africa. Two methods for alleviating Fe toxicity were examined, (i) the use of a resistant genotype, and l(ii) planting on ridges to aerate the upper root zone. Grain yield responses to these factors wer...

Cassava is grown in 31 African countries and consumption per capita averages just over 100 kg/year. This article reviews traditional cassava processing and utilization as now practised by small-scale farmers and processors in Africa, and examines the opportunities for improving post-harvest opera...

This paper, based on a socio-economic survey, investigates the productivity of compound plantain production and constraints to large scale production on the basis of the compound production method. The paper shows that production under the compound system results in nearly four times as much yiel...

On-farm research is aimed at developing technologies well match the goals and environment of farmers. At its various stages of diagnosis, choice of techniques, testing and validating technologies, ones would always ask questions: what technologies are developed, for whom and how? In this paper me...

Five maize genotypes differing in plant habit and growth period were evaluated at 5 population densities (10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 × 103 plants/ha) under an intercropping system with cassava cv. TMS30572 at 1 × 1 or 1 × 0.67 m spacing in a tropical Alfisol in southern Nigeria. Increasing the maize ...
