Baseline survey of orange-fleshed sweet potato knowledge, farming and consumption, and dietary practices among households with children aged 6-59 months in selected districts of Morogoro, Iringa and Mbeya regions of Tanzania
Orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) as a staple food besides providing necessary body energy in human diet
provides significant amounts of Vitamin A addressing both Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) and body energy
needs. The Viable ...
Evaluation of Advanced Potato Clones for Drought Tolerance in Arid Zone in Rajasthan, India
Potato is a cool season crop and
requires optimum soil moisture throughout
its growing period and its productivity is
hampered to a great extent in absence of these
favorable conditions (Cabello et al., 2013).
Exploitation ...
Men and women were interacted for introducing potato in the system
A meeting was organized with 35 farmers of Maan Sagar to apprise them of the project on cultivating potato in their exiting cropping to generated more income to improve their livelihood. Women from farming families were ...
Is Discrimination of 13C in potato leaflets and tubers an appropriate trait to describe genotype responses to restrictive and well-watered conditions?
Selection for drought tolerance entails prioritizing plant traits that integrate critical physiological processes occurring during crop growth. Discrimination against 13C (Δ) in leaflets (Δleaflet) and tubers (Δtuber) was ...
Root and Tuber Crops Development Trust Website
The Malawi Government has been recognizing the importance of cassava, potato and sweetpotato as reflected in the 2006-2011 Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS) and in the 2011-2015 Agricultural Sector Wide Approach ...
Scaling Up Sustainable Land Management and Restoration of Degraded Land
With current rates of land degradation reaching
ten to twelve million ha per year, there is an
urgent need to scale up and out successful,
profitable and resource-efficient sustainable
land management practices to maintain ...
Overcoming Phosphorus Deficiency in West African Pearl Millet and Sorghum Production Systems: Promising Options for Crop Improvement
West Africa (WA) is among the most food insecure regions. Rapid human population
growth and stagnating crop yields greatly contribute to this fact. Poor soil fertility,
especially low plant available phosphorus (P) is ...
Modalities for Scaling up Sustainable Land Management and Restoration of Degraded Land
To tackle inter-connected global challenges of population growth and migration, climate change, biodiversity loss, and degrading land and water resources, changes in land use and management are needed at a global scale. ...
Phenotypic Stability for tuber yield, Late Blight resistance in advanced clones from B3C3
In a selection process started in 2011 and involving 30,000 genotypes from the breeding group B3C3, 18 clones showed high phenotypic stability for tuber yields from 25.7-31.1 t ha-1. Moreover, 13 clones combine stability ...
