Domestic production: a solution to African import dependence
The impressive performance of improved varieties of high-yielding, heat-tolerant wheat developed in Sudan has
convinced Nigerian decision makers that a viable solution to their country’s growing dependence on wheat
imports ...
Genus Vigna and Cowpea (V. unguiculata [L.] Walp.) taxonomy: current status and prospects
Since the mid-nineties, thanks to DNA sequence studies, phylogeny of Phaseoleae,
Phaseolinae, and genus Vigna has been greatly improved. Genus Vigna is now reduced
to a monophyletic group including five reorganized subgenera: ...

Catalyzing Adoption of Agricultural Technologies
What do we mean by catalyzing? And why do we need to catalyze it? It is not a natural occurrence….. It doesn’t happen automatically. Change is possible but often difficult especially among farmers. And what we are aiming ...
CicArVarDB: SNP and InDel database for advancing genetics research and breeding applications in chickpea
Molecular markers are valuable tools for breeders to help accelerate crop improvement. High throughput sequencing technologies facilitate the discovery of large-scale variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Fertilizer micro-dosing increases crop yield in the Sahelian low-input cropping system: A success with a shadow
Over the years, a scarcity of information on nutrient gains or losses has led to overemphasis being placed
on crop yields and economic income as the direct benefits from fertilizer micro-dosing technology. There
is increasing ...
Response of Groundnut to Plant Density and Phosphorous Application in the Sudan Savanna Zone of Nigeria
Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not
increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut
varieties ...
The Economics of Land Degradation in Africa_Benefits of Action Outweigh the Costs_A complementary report to the ELD Initiative
Land degradation and desertification are among the biggest environmental challenges of our time. In the last 40 years, we lost nearly a third of the world’s arable farmland due to erosion, just as the number of people to ...
