In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), maize ( Zea mays L.) is both a cash crop and an important staple crop. However, Striga hermonthica infection constrains its production productivity. A total of 159 hybrids from 21 international trials were evaluated under -infested (STRINF) non-infested (STRNON) conditions at Mokwa Abuja, Nigeria, 2010 to 2021. The data used (i) determine the genetic enhancements in grain yield adaptive traits (ii) assess repeatability identification promising hybrids....
Abstract Regular measurement of realized genetic gain allows plant breeders to assess and review the effectiveness their strategies, allocate resources efficiently, make informed decisions throughout breeding process. Realized estimation requires separating trends from nongenetic using linear mixed model (LMM) on historical multi‐environment trial data. The LMM, accounting for year effect, experimental designs, heterogeneous residual variances, estimates best unbiased estimators genotypes...
Summary Fried sweetpotato quality is important for variety adoption in West Africa. To inform breeding efforts, the study developed a product profile chunk fries using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods. Root characteristics, processing attributes, in‐mouth attributes appearance of fried were critical to final quality. Raw roots should be hard, have smooth skin no off‐odours. Peeled hard slice not sticky. Stickiness moist surface indicate high moisture content, associated with...
This study examined the relationship between exposure to gender-responsive agricultural communication channels and sweet potato knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAPs). Our data, collected from men women farmers in 300 households, showed that a higher proportion of applied good after participating demonstration (and also seeing video or otherwise). The ratio who used sand storage sprouting technology was lowest among unexposed highest exposed both demonstration. findings suggest multi-channel...
