Like passion fruit, coconuts are much better known in processed form than fresh. The processing industry has long focused on this tropical fruit that is rich in flavour and can be used in many ways whereas sales of fresh nuts are smaller in term of volume. More than other fruits, coconuts are fou...

Legume tissue quality is a key factor for enhancement of feed resources and contribution to soil fertility in mixed crop-livestock production systems. To compare methods used by soil scientists and animal-nutritionists to assess quality of plant materials, three woody tropical legumes with contra...

This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a multi-sensor approach for predicting shrinkage of papaya during drying using computer vision methods in combination with optical scattering analysis of light at 650 nm. The top-side area and total surface area derived from computer vision were analy...

Seven methods for storing maize were tested and compared with traditional storage of maize in polypropylene bags. Twenty farmers managed the experiment under their prevailing conditions for 30 weeks. Stored grain was assessed for damage every six weeks. The dominant storage insect pests identifie...


Abass, A.B.Fischler, M.Schneider, K.Daudi, S.Gaspar, A.Rüst, J.Kabula, E.Ndunguru, G.Madulu, D.Msola, D.[On-farm comparison of different postharvest storage technologies in a maize farming system of Tanzania Central Corridor]On-farm comparison of different postharvest storage technologies in a maize farming system of Tanzania Central Corridor

Irrigation using untreated wastewater poses health risks to farmers and consumers of crop products, especially vegetables. With hardly any wastewater treatment in Ghana, a multiple-barrier approach was adopted and safe re-use practices were developed through action research involving a number of ...


Keraita, Bernard N.Abaidoo, R.C.Beernaerts, InesKoo-Oshima, SashaAmoah, PhilipDrechsel, PayKonradsen, Flemming[Safe re-use practices in wastewater-irrigated urban vegetable farming in Ghana.]Safe re-use practices in wastewater-irrigated urban vegetable farming in Ghana.

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...


Mutungi, C.Muthoni, F.Bekunda, Mateete A.Gaspar, A.Kabula, E.Abass, A.[Physical quality of maize grain harvested and stored by smallholder farmers in the Northern highlands of Tanzania: effects of harvesting and pre-storage handling practices in two marginally contrasting agro-locations]Physical quality of maize grain harvested and stored by smallholder farmers in the Northern highlands of Tanzania: effects of harvesting and pre-storage handling practices in two marginally contrasting agro-locations

This paper develops a model of the early adoption process that takes into account modifications made by users. The model is based on data from 13 attempts to introduce six postharvest technologies into the Philippines and Vietnam. It is built on an analogy between technology change and Darwinian ...
