Enhancing Results Based Management in RTB by Harmonizing and Strengthening ME&L Systems
The workshop entitled ‘Enhancing Results Based Management in RTB by Harmonizing and Strengthening ME&L systems’ was held from 22 to 25 May (2018) in Ibadan. Participants included the RTB CRP and representatives from A4NH, ...
Farm-Centered Integrated Modelling for the Design of Sustainable Agricultural Systems
Farm modelling has been widely used over the past ten years for the assessment of agricultural systems in face of policy changes, technological innovation, economic and climate changes. Beyond the various modelling methods ...
TL III Progress Report
TL III is a visionary project that aims to improve the lives of smallholder farmers in the target region through enhanced grain legume
productivity and production. It operates under three pillars: (1) Developing improved ...
Heat Tolerance of Durum Wheat (Tritcum durum Desf.) Elite Germplasm Tested along the Senegal River
The Senegal River basin (Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, and Senegal) is a key agricultural production area in
sub-Saharan Africa. Here, rice fields are left fallow during the cooler winter season, when the night temperatures ...
Characterization of seasonal pattern of drought stress using modeling approach. I. An environmental characterization reveals that water stress is currently not a major constraint to sorghum production in Mali
Drought stress is a prevalent feature of semi-arid tropical climates but when, where, how much and how often drought stress reduces yield remains largely an unanswered question. In West Africa, there is indeed significant ...
Elaboration of Livestock R&D Scenarios and Assessment of the Impact of Alternative Investment Scenarios on Employment Generation: A Methodological Framework
As agriculture is the largest employment sector in Sub-Saharan Africa, and as the average contribution of agriculture to GDP is more than 17% (OECD/FAO, 2016; World Bank, 2017), the agricultural employment growth can be a ...
Response of grain legumes to phosphorus application in the guinea savanna agro-ecological zones of Ghana
Grain legumes (cowpea, peanut, and soybean) play important roles in household food and income security in smallholder farming systems in the Guinea Savanna agro-ecological zones of Ghana. However, yields are low, rarely ...
On-farm evaluation and determination of sources of variability of soybean response to Bradyrhizobium inoculation and phosphorus fertilizer in northern Ghana
Soybean yields on smallholder farms in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) are far below the potential yield thus creating a huge yield gap. Interventions are thus needed to bridge this yield gap and ascertain the factors influencing ...
