A practical perspective on One CGIAR. Lessons from 15 years of CIALCA agricultural research for development consortium work in Central Africa
(IInternational Institute of Tropical Agriculture, 2021-06)There is a wind of change blowing through the sector of international agricultural research for development (AR4D), mainly as a result of comprehensive reorganisation and transformation of one of its largest players, the CGIAR. In January 2020, Food Policy published a Special Issue providing valuable external and high-level reflections, challenges and recommendations for One CGIAR. One of the papers by Coffman et al. (2020) provided five Challenges and related Recommendations to the One CGIAR. -
A dyadic interview guide to explore intra-household decision-making
(International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, 2021-12)Studies in the agricultural research for development literature that explore women’s involvement in decision-making within the household tend to focus their analysis on married or cohabiting couples and often consult only one spouse in a marital dyad during field interviews. These and other studies in the literature explore who makes a particular decision within the household, and more recently, inquire about the extent to which the respondent or another household member was involved in the ... -

Survey and management of potato pests in Uganda
(International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, 2019-12)Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food and income generating crop for its growers. The crop is also nutritionally rich in carbohydrates, vitamins (C and B), proteins, minerals (potassium) among other nutritional components. In Uganda, potato has been recognized as a crop with potential for nutrition security and income generation. Despite these benefits, average potato yield (4.8 t/ha) in Uganda is still comparatively lower than attainable global average yield (30 to 40 t/ha), owing ... -

Possibility of earlyseason culture of water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) in Yaku island
(2003)Early-season culture of water yam was required in Yaku Island, because of the long growing period, the concentrating work at the harvesting time, the lack of storehouse and so on. Thus we tried to search the early-maturing strains and use a plant growth regulator that promote the tuber enlargement. Then we found out the extremely early maturing strains introduced from high altitude area in the Kingdom of Nepal. On the other hand, foliar applications of gibberellins promoted the tuber enlargement. ... -
Distinction of mixed yam strains (Dioscorea alata L.) cultivated in Yaku Island
(2003)This study clarified we could effectively distinguish mixed water yam strains by observing the differences of morphology of the leaves and tubers in Yaku Island. However, there are considerable variations in morphology, so we may be able to more confidently distinguish strains by also employing the electrophoresis method using acetone powder.
