For scale efficiency to be improved, maize farmers in the various agro ecological zones of Ghana are encouraged to employ more of the production inputs available to them. For the farmers to be able to employ more of these inputs, cost of production inputs could be subsidized and credit ...
Current maize yields in Ghana average only one-third of their estimated potential, but this yield gap can be reduced by improving farming practices and gro... A Hill 被引量: 2发表: 2014年 Impact of Improved Maize Technology Package on Maize Yield Growth of Major Maize Growing Regions of Eth...
Hence, this study was designed to understand famers’ preferences for the different traits of DT maize and to estimate the implicit prices of preferred traits with a deliberate focus on drought tolerance in the drought prone communal farming areas of Zimbabwe. Several studies have examined trait ...
The experiment results indicated that water was the chief affection factor in Shapotou farming area, within the appropriate irrigation range, the increasing of irrigation can impel the increase in maturity earlier, the biomass and yield of maize. The effect of nitrogenous fertilizer to maize ...

The mother-baby trial model was adopted for the evaluation of these varieties in the major season of 2009 in three farming communities in the target agro-ecology. The Farmers variety showed poor yield performance in both the mother and baby trials and in the ranking of varieties by farmers ...
We present a pollen flow model for maize (Zea mays), a major staple crop in Africa. We use spatial properties of fields (size, position) in three small-scale maize farming communities in Zambia and estimate rates of cross-fertilisation between fields sown with different maize varieties (e.g...
(2023), there is a high degree of joint decision-making with regards to maize farming but men tend to exert more control over seed and other input purchase decisions. In general, the use of price promotions for agricultural inputs with strong credence and delayed experience attributes merits ...
Legumes such as groundnut, soybean, and cowpea also form an important part of the farming system. Legumes are usually grown solely in rotation with cereals but in some cases, they are intercropped with cereals. The degree of commercialization is low, and farmers depend mainly on their own ...
