  • Structure of Aspergillus flavus populations associated with maize in Greece, Spain, and Serbia: implications for aflatoxin biocontrol on a regional scale 

    Ouadhene, M.A.; Callicott, K.; Ortega-Beltran, A.; Mehl, H.L.; Cotty, P.J.; Battilani, P. (2024-04)
    Aspergillus flavus is the most frequently identified producer of aflatoxins. Non-aflatoxigenic members of the A. flavus L strains are used in various continents as active ingredients of bioprotectants directed at preventing aflatoxin contamination by competitive displacement of aflatoxin producers. The current research examined the genetic diversity of A. flavus L strain across southern Europe to gain insights into the population structure and evolution of this species and to evaluate the prevalence ...

  • Economic analysis of on-farm trial of drought tolerant maize in Kwara state Nigeria: a gender approach 

    Ayinde, O.E.; Abdoulaye, T.; Takim, F.O.; Oloyede, A.O.; Bankole, F.A. (2016-01)
    This study analyzed the profitability of on-farm trial of Drought Tolerant (DT) Maize in Kwara State Nigeria using a gendered innovation approach. A Two-stage stratified sampling technique was used. The primary data for the study were collected through the use of well-structured questionnaires administered to forty (40) women farmers in an on-farm trial of the DT maize variety. The analytical tools used include Descriptive statistics, Ranking and Farm budgeting analysis. The result of the analysis ...

  • Are farm input subsidies a disincentive for integrated pest management adoption? Evidence from Zambia 

    Tambo, J.A.; Liverpool-Tasie, L.S.O. (2024-04-23)
    Input subsidy programmes (ISPs) remain a popular but contentious policy tool to promote agricultural intensification, food security and poverty reduction across Africa. Although previous studies have explored the impact of ISPs on various smallholder outcomes, no studies have analysed the impact of recent ISPs on pest management. This is particularly important given the increasing pest challenges due to climate change and the recent surge in pesticide use in low-income countries and its associated ...

  • Making genome editing a success story in Africa 

    Abkallo, H.M.; Arbuthnot, P.; Auer, T.O.; Berger, D.K.; Burger, J.; Chakauya, E.; Concordet, J.-P.; Diabate, A.; Di Donato, V.; Groenewald, H.; Guindo, A.; Koekemoer, L.L.; Nazare, F.; Nolan, T.; Okumu, F.; Orefuwa, E.; Paemka, L.; Prieto-Godino, L.; Runo, S.; Sadler, M.; Tesfaye, K.; Tripathi, L.; Wondji, C.

  • Unlocking the cassava treasure: a path to elevate export revenues in Tanzania 

    Laizer, L.; Kapinga, R.; Maregeri, B.; Ndyetabura, I.; Mtunda, K.; Kessy, R.; Kasubiri, F.; Reuben, F.; Laurent, F. (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, 2024)
    Over the past 15 years, Tanzania has implemented the Agricultural Marketing Policy (2008), which provides legal and regulatory guidance to the government and private sector actors in enhancing the quality standards and competitive prices of agricultural commodities. Nevertheless, there exists a gap in understanding how this policy guideline is implemented by market actors at the local level. These knowledge gaps underscore the necessity for a rapid market survey carried out in July 2023, with ...
