Kang, B.Akobundu, I.Manyong, Victor M.Carsky, R.Sanginga, N.Kueneman, E.A.[Moist savannas of Africa; potentials and constraints for crop production: proceedings of an IITA/FAO workshop held from 1923 September 1994, Cotonou, Republic of Benin]Moist savannas of Africa; potentials and constraints for crop production: proceedings of an IITA/FAO workshop held from 1923 September 1994, Cotonou, Republic of Benin

Integrating the management of cassava pests into a strategy which meets the needs of individual farmers requires a conceptual framework for development and implementation. The Ecologically Sustainable Cassava Plant Protection (ESCaPP) project which began in 1993 in West Africa provides such a wor...

Sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) that lead to an increase in productivity are central to the acceleration of economic growth; this will alleviate poverty and help to overcome the recurrent food shortages that affect millions of households in Africa. However, the adoption rates of SAPs re...

In Kenya, the below-ground biodiversity (BGBD) project selected two benchmark sites for the inventory of soil biota; these included the Irangi and Ngangao forest sites in the Mount Kenya region of Embu District and the Taita Hills area of Taita Taveta District. The areas selected by the project w...

Soil fertility depletion is considered one of the main biophysical limiting factors for increasing per capita food production for smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. The adoption and diffusion of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs), as a way to tackle this challenge, has become an im...

Plantain and banana (Musa spp.) are integral components of the farming systems in the humid forest and mid-altitude ecologies of sub-saharan Africa. They provide more than 25% of the carbohydrates for approximately 70 million people in the region. Major constraints to plantain and banana producti...

Water harvesting systems have improved productivity in various regions in sub-Saharan Africa. Similarly, they can help retain water in landscapes, build resilience against droughts and dry spells, and thereby contribute to sustainable agricultural intensification. However, there is no strong empi...
