Located within the Sahel region, Senegal faces several agricultural production challenges. Limited rainfall, poor soil fertility, and insufficient agronomic inputs all contribute to low pearl millet [ Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] yields. This study was initiated assess potential for increasing yields through intercropping (living cover) mulching (desiccated practices. During 2013 2014 growing seasons, intercropped with cowpea Vigna unguiculata Walp.], mungbean radiata Wilczek], or grown...
Summary Seeds can deteriorate rapidly under high heat and humidity, making it challenging potentially costly to store orthodox seeds effectively in the tropics, thereby affecting agriculture development. This work explores effectiveness of novel, low-cost technologies for storing warm, humid, resource-constrained environments, focusing on maintaining viability already dry prior storage. okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench), sorghum Sorghum bicolor velvet bean Mucuna pruriens DC) were...
Smallholder farmers raising pigs in northern Thailand rely heavily on banana stalks as a fermented feed source, but struggle to reproduce plants fast enough keep up with consumption. This study evaluated variety of techniques for rapidly multiplying plants, using appropriate and affordable smallholder order help meet this demand. Propagation Musa (ABB) cv. ‘Kluai Nam Wa’ were conducted greenhouse field experiments both lowland upland areas Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. In experiments, six...
While maintaining adequate levels of soil fertility can be a challenge on any farm, those the resource-limited smallholder farms tropics requires options that are also affordable, practical, and appropriate in such challenging conditions. This research endeavor was designed to compare adaptability potential four legume species promoted as Green Manure/Cover Crops (GMCC’s) Southeast Asia. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), Jackbean (Canavalia ensiformis), Lablab (Lablab purpureus), Ricebean...
A Small Farm Resource Center (SFRC) is an informal in-situ extension model used for testing promising agricultural and rural livelihoods options on a physical central site, with some measure of methodology. There need to evaluate SFRCs as research-extension models operating outside formal government advisory services. Seven located in Southeast Asia were studied classify methodologies adopted by those centers, efficacy, provide recommendations amplifying their On average 2013, 21.1 years...
