Maize production in Ghana, is predominantly done under rain-fed conditions by poorly resourced smallholder farmers. The agro-ecological zones for maize cultivation in Ghana can be mainly grouped into four; Coastal savannah zone, forest zone, transition zone and Guinea savannah zone. Maize accounts ...
439 early and extra-early inbred lines including some widely used inbred lines by national maize breeders of the savanna agro-ecological zones of WCA, standard testers and parents of some early and extra-maturing hybrids released for cultivation in Nigeria, Ghana and Mali were assembled for this ...
The cultivation of Maize and Guinea corn in the northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria is faced with lots of Crop protection problems which hinder full scale production of these crops in that ecological zone. The problems range from biotic factors like vertebrate and invertebrate pests, disease pathogens...
The framework builds on the idea that the socioeconomic, political, and environmental factors that affect women’s and men’s lives and livelihoods are experienced differently depending on one’s own social position. This in turn affects the type of resources one has access to and controls, as ...
Gene flow in agricultural crops is important for risk assessment of genetically modified (GM) crops, particularly in countries with a large informal agricultural sector of subsistence cultivation. We present a pollen flow model for maize (Zea mays), a ma

Nigeria, Ghana, Benin and Burkina Faso account for 87% of this total. Maize makes a substantial contribution to the diets of rural and urban populations. Its cultivation in the region has gradually increased over the years (FAOSTAT, 2011, Smale et al., 2011) thanks to adoption of better ...
