Germplasm Seed Movement and Global Plant Health
Global seed transfers through trade, and collection and distribution of genetic resources by
genebanks are important pathways for the transboundary spread of seed-borne pests,
especially viruses that the insect vectors can ...
CGIAR germplasm health units apply a systems approach to germplasm seed health protection for conservation and safe international distribution
Germplasm seed exchange from CGIAR genebanks and breeding is important to global
agricultural research and development programs. Seed as a pathway for pest spread is an
inherent risk for international seed exchanges. ...
Exploring the potential of mapped soil properties, rhizobium inoculation, and phosphorus supplementation for predicting soybean yield in the savanna areas of Nigeria
Rapid and accurate soybean yield prediction at an on-farm scale is important for ensuring sustainable yield increases and contributing to food security maintenance in Nigeria. We used multiple approaches to assess the ...
Increasing lowland rice yields of smallholder farmers through the adoption of good agricultural practices in the forest agro-ecological zone of Ghana
Rice is an important food crop in Ghana. However, its production has constantly been below 40%
of the demand, and most of the requirements meet from imports. Such low production level is
largely attributed to farmers’ ...
Agricultural livelihood systems typology for coping with diversity in smallholder farming system research: A demonstrative case in South-western Burkina Faso
Smallholder farms’ populations are characterized by their heterogeneity giving the diversity of farms’ livelihood settings. Integrated farming system modelling therefore requires a preliminary clear identification of the ...
