tIn the past decade, oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) has become the world’s most important oil crop.The large demand for palm oil has resulted in a rapid expansion of oil palm cultivation across the globe.Because of the ...
Assessing the genetic diversity of 48 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes in the Guinea savanna agro-ecology of Ghana, using microsatellite-based markers
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the most important grain legume in Ghana. However, its production
is constrained by a myriad of biotic and abiotic stresses which necessitate the development and use of
superior varieties ...

Preliminary report on yield results from dual-purpose crops trials in 2014 in the Wa-Bobo-Sikasso transect in the West African Sahel and Dry Savannas
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 ...
Pigeonpea breeding in eastern and southern Africa: challenges and opportunities
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millspaugh) is an important multipurpose grain legume crop primarily grown in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America. In Africa, the crop is grown for several purposes ...

Mapping of groundwater potential zones across Ghana using remote sensing, geographic information systems, and spatial modeling
Groundwater development across much of
sub-Saharan Africa is constrained by a lack of knowledge
on the suitability of aquifers for borehole construction.
The main objective of this study was to map
groundwater potential ...
