1. Tomato yield and economic performance under organic and mineral fertilizer applications in coastal TogoResearch efforts towards enhancing vegetables production are still needed in Togo. We assessed tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) yield and associated economic returns under three soil fertility management strategies in a 3-yr period study. Three tomato varieties were used including: MONGAL-F1 (V1), SUMO-F1 (V2) and COBRA 26-F1 (V3). The fertilization regimes were: no fertilizer application as the control (F1), application of 200 kg of N15P15K15 + 100... J.M. Sogbedji, M. Lare |
2. détermination du bilan minéral partiel des exploitations agricoles à base du coton à l’aide du modèle NUTMONLa dégradation des sols des exploitations agricoles constitue ces dernières années une des causes principales des baisses de rendements au champ. A cet effet, la détermination quantitative des éléments nutritifs des sols cultivés peut contribuer à concevoir des stratégies de gestion durable de la fertilité de ces sols. C’est dans cette optique que 30 exploitations agricoles à base de coton ont été... A. Komlan, K. Kokou zovodu, A. Bassarou, G. Esso-iheyou, P. Justin |
3. The roles of key public services on the adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies in coffee-based farming system of EthiopiaMany studies focused on the adoption studies of relatively expensive technologies such as improved varieties, inorganic fertilizers, and agricultural machines. However, limited empirical studies have been conducted on the adoption of improved agricultural practices such as intercropping, manure application, crop rotation with leguminous crops and forages, conservation tillage, and soil and water management practices which are tremendously important for climate change adaptation and mitigation....

4. Water Application Efficiency of an Ultisol in Response to Climate Change in Two Agroecological Zones of NigeriaIrrigation and fertilizer application are management practices farmers have adopted to increase food production for the growing population. This has improved crop nutrient absorption and the efficiency of fertilizer applied to the soil. This is essential to reduce plant water stress in a climate changing environment. This study investigated and compared water application efficiency under manual sprinkler irrigation with capillary irrigation method on ultisols located in rainforest and derived... I.A. Egbebi, D.J.

5. Drivers of Post-harvest Aflatoxin Contamination: Evidence Gathered from Knowledge Disparities and Field Surveys of Maize Farmers in the Rift-valley Region of KenyaMaize-dependent populations in sub-Saharan Africa are continually exposed to aflatoxin poisoning owing to their regular consumption of this dietetic cereal. Being a staple in Kenyan households, consumption of maize-based meals is done almost daily, thereby exposing consumers to aflatoxicoses. This study assessed awareness levels, knowledge disparities and perceptions regarding aflatoxin contamination at the post-harvest phase among farmers in the Rift-valley region of Kenya. Households were randomly... G.W. Gachara, R. Lahlali, R. Suleiman, B.M. Kilima |
