Effectiveness of communication channels on level of awareness and determinants of adoption of improved common bean technologies among smallholder farmers in Tanzania

However, there is limited access to information on improved legume technologies among smallholder farmers in resource poor countries such as Tanzania. This chapter is aimed at assessing the effectiveness of communication channels (i.e. demonstration plots, farmer field days, technological briefs) on level of awareness and the determinants of adoption of improved common bean technologies among ... -

Maize revolution in West and Central Africa: an overview
(2003)Maize (Zea mays L.) is cultivated under a broad range of climatic conditions in West and Central Africa (WCA). Unfortunately, maize production is constrained by a host of abiotic and biotic stresses, including drought, low soil fertility, diseases, insect pests, and the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica. The stresses, which occur in all countries of WCA, are too formidable for individual national research programs to overcome. The West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network (WECAMAN) ...
