The study was carried out on samples collected over a period of 10 years (1990 to 1999) in three Districts (Ejura-Sekyedumase, Afram Plains/North-Kwahu and Nkoranza) well – known for maize production in Ghana. The aim was to study the influence of storage locations on levels of ...
This study applied stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine the technical efficiency of maize production in northern Ghana using cross-sectional data from 360 maize farmers for the 2011/2012 cropping season. Farm size, seed, fertiliser and herbicides had a ...
Maize is an important cereal crop, however, its production is constrained by soil, terrain and, climatic limitations that lead to food security problems. A study was conducted on four benchmark soil series in Ghana; Bediesi, Techiman, Denteso, and Amantin to ...

Conclusion. Varieties, such as IWD-C3-SYN-F2 and OBATAMPA, and N rate of 90 kg N/ha are, therefore, recommended to be used for maize production by the resource-poor farmers in the Guinea Savanna Agro-Ecology of Ghana.Advances in AgricultureBawa, Alhassan...
crop. These types contain about twice the amount of lysine and tryptophan compared to their regular counterparts. Both yellow and white QPM open-pollinated varieties and hybrids are being used in Brazil, Mexico, Ghana, and other countries. Harder QPMs are suited for dry milling and alkaline ...
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...
