Most of the population in the Sahel is small-scale resource-poor farmers who rely mainly on rain-fed agriculture for their livelihoods. However, rainfall in this region is erratic, poorly distributed and very variable, ...
Sustainable management of chickpea pod borer. A review
The pod borer [Helicoverpa armigera Hubner
(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)] is responsible for causing up to 90%
damage in chickpea due to its regular occurrence from the vegetative
growth to the pod formation stage. In order to ...

Simulation of Soil Erosion to Support Sustainable Land Management in the Mo River Basin (Togo, West Africa)
This paper examines possible management pathways to address soil erosion issues due to
improper land management and landform patterns. Therefore, a landscape management and
planning tool (LAMPT), a spatially explicit model ...
Evaluate the survival rate and growth of planted fodder/fruit trees for degraded land restoration as a function of planting hole size
Climate variability and extremes as well as climate changes expressed through increase temperature, more severe droughts, abnormally wet periods, floods and other extreme climate events are challenging for Sub-Saharan ...
Release of 1 or 2 stable soybean varieties in each region
Twelve genotypes were planted at two sites in Malawi, Dowa and Nkotakota, under zero phosphorus application and at 24 kg/ha phosphorus application. Due to the severe drought, trials at Nkotakota were written off. The results ...
Assessment of multifunctional landscapes dynamics in the mountainous basin of the Mo River (Togo, West Africa)
In this study, historical landscape dynamics were investigated to (i) map the land
use/cover types for the years 1972, 1987, 2000 and 2014; (ii) determine the types and processes
of landscape dynamics; and (iii) assess the ...
