1. Drivers of Post-harvest Aflatoxin Contamination: Evidence Gathered from Knowledge Disparities and Field Surveys of Maize Farmers in the Rift-valley Region of Kenya Maize-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 Download paper
2. Detecting the Impact of Hail Damage on Maize Crops in Smallholder Farms Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Derived Multispectral Data Natural disasters such as hailstorms are now frequent and negatively impact smallholder farmers' livelihoods. In these events, there is a need for robust and innovative techniques for monitoring the extent of their damage in smallholder croplands to optimise production. In this regard, this study sought to evaluate the utility of drone-derived multispectral data in estimating crop health elements (i.e., equivalent water thickness (EWT), chlorophyll content, and leaf area index (LAI) of maize...
