Genomics-assisted breeding for drought tolerance in cowpea
(Springer, 2019)The importance of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, in human and animal nutrition and sustainability of soil fertility are recognized globally especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where the crop is mainly produced in the Savanna and the Sahelian agro ecologies. However, cowpea productivity is adversely affected by both biotic (insect pests, diseases, parasitic weeds, nematodes) and abiotic (drought, heat, low soil fertility) constraints. Appreciable progress has been made in the improvement of cowpea ... -

Building gender-sensitive climate-smart agriculture approaches for sustainable food-energy systems
(World Agroforestry, 2019)Climate change influences agricultural production and threatens the livelihoods of farming households in Africa. The impacts of climate change have been more severe for poor and marginalized peoples, especially women, than they have been for other groups in the society, due to their disadvantaged access to technologies, resources, information, and power. Conventional agriculture technology interventions aiming at improving productivity and income often do not consider social disparities and fail ... -

Common African pests and diseases of cassava, yam, sweet potato and cocoyam
(1994)The common fungal and bacterial diseases and arthropod and nematode pests associated with the cultivation of cassava [Manihot esculenta], yam [Dioscorea sp.], sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas] and cocoyam [taro] in Africa are described. The publication is illustrated with many colour photographs and is intended as a guide for growers in order to help identify production constraints. For each of the diseases and nematode pests, information is provided on common names, range, host plants, symptom of ... -

Innovation platforms: synopsis of innovation platforms in agricultural research and development
(Elsevier, 2019)Innovation platforms are fast becoming part of the mantra of agricultural research and development projects and programs. Their basic tenet is that stakeholders depend on one another to achieve agricultural development outcomes, and hence need a space where they can learn, negotiate, and coordinate to overcome challenges and capitalize on opportunities through a facilitated innovation process. However, research and development funding and implementation agencies need to think critically about when, ...
