varieties and appropriate agronomic ...
Can African smallholders farm themselves out of poverty?
A great deal of research on agriculture in Africa is organised around the premise that intensification can take smallholder farmers out of poverty. The emphasis in programming often implicitly emphasizes focusing on farm ...
Conduct Participatory variety and hybrids selection trials across target agro-ecologies in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia
In singida district, variety with tied ridges had mean grain yield of 2.017 t ha-1 compared to 1.596 t ha-1 for variety without tied ridges which was a 26% yield advantage. Varieties ASARECA 24-4-1 (1.983 t ha-1) and IESV ...
Advance breeding populations for resistance to blast, striga and drought; high nutrient content and desired traits like snapping quality and none-logging
Breeding populations at F2, F3 and F4 for the different traits were established in the field for evaluation and the selected ones advanced. At the same time new F1 populations are being made for advancing to F2 the next ...
