This paper focuses on the management of non-crop biodiversity, conservation and use of non-plant taxa and its future challenges and opportunities. The collection, conservation and sustainable use of insects and mites, fungi, bacteria, viruses and nematodes that are either beneficial or antagonist...

The rapid decline of soil fertility of cultivated lands in the sub-Saharan savannas of West Africa is considered to be the main cause of the increasingly severeconstraints of food production. The soils in this tropical area are highly fragile, and crop yields are limited bycharacteristically low ...

We carried out a nationwide survey to morphologically characterize and identify the geographic distribution of Ethiopian donkey populations. Here we re-evaluated some of the donkey populations previously identified and explored new ones from which we confirmed the existence of six distinct donkey...

The management schemes of four rain forest patches in southern Benin and south-western Nigeria, which led to the successful protection of numerous threatened plants and animals over the last 20 plus years, are analysed. Since climatic conditions are similar, tree composition depends largely on di...

Yam (Dioscoreaspp.) is a tuberous staple foodcrop of major importance in the sub-Saharan savannas ofWest Africa. Optimal yields commonly are obtained only inthe first year following slash-and-burn in the shifting cul-tivation systems. It appears that the yield decline in sub-sequent years is not ...

Understanding what farmers need in potato varieties and assessing available genetic resources at the farmer and district levels is important for the conservation and improvement of potato in Ethiopia. A survey was conducted in six major potato growing districts representing different agro-ecologi...

Plant breeders and educators working with the International Potato Center (CIP) needed freely available statistical tools. In response, we created first a set of scripts for specific tasks using the open source statistical software R. Based on this we eventually compiled the R package agricolae a...

This paper discusses the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources in the African continent and the role of insect biodiversity for the sustainable development of natural resources. The arthropod reference collection at the Agricultural Research for Development in ...
