On-farm trials were conducted to investigate the effects of maize harvesting and handling practices of smallholder farmers on the quality of the produce before, and during storage in two contrasting agro-locations. Farmers harvested and prepared the crop according to local practices, and stored i...

Determinants of integrated soil fertility management technologies adoption by smallholder farmers in the Chinyanja Triangle of Southern Africa
Abstract: Weeds in our cultures are a constraint for farmers, which as far as possible combine a lot of effort to eradicate them. In addition to this aspect of nuisance, weeds could also be used for the prediction of soil fertility. Thus a floristic inventory study was conducted successively in 1...

In the hinterland of Lubumbashi characterized by peasant agriculture floristic investigations were conducted in common bean crop (Phaseolus vulgaris) during the 2014 growing season in 12 fields spread over two roads which: Kasumbalesa and Kipushi. Thus 10 quadrats 1m side were randomly placed in ...

Farmers’ and improved potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars growing in Eritrea are main sources of food and income to many growers. The current study was proposed to characterize 17 farmers’ and 4 imported cultivars of potato using 33 morphological descriptors. Planting was done in two geograph...

Currently over 1000 Farmer Field Schools (FFS) on integrated pest management (IPM) and/or integrated soil management are being successfully implemented in Kenya and many more in Africa as a whole. In 2001, the DFID/FAO project on Farmer Field Schools for livestock began adapting and testing the F...

Agricultural technologies have boosted crop yield increases and household incomes, particularly, during the Green Revolution in Asia and some parts of Sub-Sahara Africa. However, adoption of yield enhancing technologies in the vegetable subsector is still low, particularly within smallholder farm...
