Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been evident in the agricultural sector recently. The objective of AI agriculture is to control crop pests/diseases, reduce cost, and improve yield. In developing countries, faces numerous challenges form knowledge gap between farmers technology, disease pest infestation, lack storage facilities, among others. order resolve some these challenges, this paper presents pests/disease datasets sourced from local farms Ghana. dataset presented two folds; raw images...
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) contributes significantly to Ghana’s GDP and has made Ghana a recognized leader in the cocoa industry. However, there are myriad problems associated with bean quality. One such stems from farmers paying less attention required postharvest activities (fermentation drying) which quality losses. This study investigated effect of duration traditional heap fermentation period different drying methods: solar biomass hybrid dryer (SBHD) sun method (TSDM) on two varieties...
Bambara groundnut is an underutilized crop in Ghana with a lot of potential that can be harnessed to contribute food and nutritional security Sub-Saharan African countries. The recent experiment was conducted assess the genetic variability, heritability, association among yield components proximate composition groundnuts. Twenty-five (25) accessions were sourced from different agro-ecological zones. results analysis variance showed highly significant difference (p < 0.001) almost all traits...
A field experiment was conducted at the Research and Teaching Farm, School of Agriculture Technology (SOAT), University Energy Natural Resources (UENR), Dormaa Ahenkro Campus, Ghana, to determine genetic variability, heritability, advance, correlation among growth yield traits African yam bean in Ghana. There were significant differences ( <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"> <mi>p</mi> <mo><</mo> <mn>0.05</mn> </math> ) for studied, except days 50% emergence, petiole...
The oil palm leaf miner, Coelaenomenodera lameensis, is currently the most destructive pest of in Ghana and other African growing countries, causing significant losses fresh fruit bunch yield. Progressive pruning an method which done at same time as harvesting. This study evaluated impact progressive on miner population how these two factors (leaf pruning) affect yield Benso Oil Palm Plantation Public listed company (BOPP. Plc). Five distinct blocks plantation were selected for observations...
Two experiments were undertaken to evaluate the resistance of 5 parents and 20 hybrids dasheen taro (n = 25) developed through diallel method Phytophthora leaf blight disease which is also known as (TLBD). The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 replications assessed incidence (%) severity index (DSI%) among genotypes planted three (3) agro-ecological zones Ghana. In laboratory inoculated colocasiae isolates from Dormaa Ahenekro, Tano Dumasi Bunso Bono,...
The study was carried out to determine the nutritional and anti-nutritional composition of taro genotypes also phenotypic plasticity in two agro ecological zones Ghana. towns were Bunso semi deciduous forest (an upland) Tano Dumasi savannah transition agro-ecological (a waterlogged area) zone Eastern Ashanti regions respectively.Two (2) freshly harvested corms each genotype from location assessed for their (moisture, protein, carbohydrate, ash fat) (phytate, oxalate tannin) Data collected...
The experiment was conducted with the objective of estimating genetic variability and path coefficient analysis for yield related traits 45 newly released rice genotypes at research field Council Scientific Industrial Research – Crops Institute in Sokwai, Kumasi. Genotypic Coefficient Variation (GCV) were lower than Phenotypic (PCV) all indicates influence environment on traits. GCV PCV value ranged from 0.95% to 12.93% 2.95% 78.50%, respectively. Panicle length recorded moderate...
Abstract Background Many plant species worldwide cultivated for food have been neglected and are being underutilized despite their crucial contributions to security, nutrition income generation rural citizens, leading a nearly permanent diet deficiency. Taro ( Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott), an important crop in the family Araceae, is one of species. This study therefore focused on identifying potential challenges mitigating taro production utilization taro-producing areas Ghana formulate...
Rice is one of the major staple foods consumed in all part world including Ghana. The study was conducted at research field CSIR Sokwai to evaluate performance newly released rice varieties lowland ecology data collected were subjected analysis variance using Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research Version 2.0.1. revealed a highly significant variation among most agronomic traits studied except panicle length, moisture content, total weight 5 hills, percent content and lodging index....
Tigernut (Cyperus esculentus L.) is a nutritious, yet underutilised crop in Ghana. The objective of this study was to characterise Ghanaian tigernut accessions for proximate and mineral composition, as guide breeders varietal development. Field laboratory studies were conducted on 24 from major growing areas cultivated during the minor season (September - November), at Multipurpose Nursery University Education, Winneba, Asante Mampong nuts analysed (carbohydrate, energy, moisture, ether...
