Performance of SER 45 Bushbean Variety Under Drought
The present work is focused on drougt tolerant beans for small-scale farmers in maize mixed farming system. SER45 is a small seeded bean variety, bred for tolerance to drought, just like SER83. High potentials have been ...
Assessment of maize yield gap and major determinant factors between smallholder farmers in the Dedza district of Malawi
This study explored the effect of soil nutrient status, agronomic practices and socio-economic
factors on maize yield attained by smallholder farmers in the Dedza District of Malawi. Results show
that maize yield ranged ...
Participatory Yield Assessment of Climbing and Bush Beans under Different Management Options in Malawi
Common bean is the cheapest source of proteins for the rural poor who cannot afford to buy meat in Sub Saharan Africa. However, in Malawi, the average productivity over the last ten years stands at less than 0.5 Mg ha-1 ...
Agronomic survey to assess crop yield, controlling factors and management implications: a casestudy of Babati in northern Tanzania
Improved agronomic management is important to reduce yield gaps and enhance
food security in subSaharan
Africa. This study was undertaken to understand
contributing factors to observed yield gaps for maize in farmer fields ...
Estimating soil erosion in sub-Saharan Africa based on landscape similarity mapping
Soil erosion is one of the major forms of land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with serious impact on agricultural productivity. Due to the absence of reliable data at appropriate resolution and differences in the ...
