Efforts to develop high-yielding, stable, early-maturing sorghum varieties in northern Cameroon produced an apparently resounding success with on-farm tests of the variety S35 from 1983-85. This caused great excitement and led to the recommendation of S35 to the regional extension agency in 1986....

In animal production systems, the value of a species increases in relation to its adaptation, capacity to make socioeconomic contributions, capacity to fill market opportunities, and potential for increasing productivity. In the case of goats, their role and potential contribution to increased pr...

Conservation of germplasm has traditionally relied to a large extent on storage of seeds in genebanks. However, some forage species may take a long time to research maturity and produce seeds or, in the case of grasses, have inadequate production of seeds for collection, multiplication, dissemina...
