Complex controls and non-linear responses of the climate system to global warming make it difficult have clear-cut predictions future precipitation amounts timelines. It is, however, evident from current observations that some unusually high rates flooding droughts are occurring threatening food security in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The impact change is immense on SSA though contributes least globally. Crops face lots growth challenges which reduce their productivity under drought flood...
Abstract A considerable proportion of applied nutrients are adsorbed by the calcite surface calcareous soils, making them unavailable to plants. combination organic amendments and fertilizers can improve nutrient retention mineralization, also reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. two-years field experiment was undertaken investigate impacts inorganic fertilizer, biochar silicon on uptake, growth, yield post-harvest soil chemistry in using rice ( Oryza sativa L.) as a test crop. The...
A 2-year field experiment was conducted in 2012 and 2013 at the research fields of CSIR-Crops Research Institute to determine best agronomic practices for establishment cultivation Chia (Salvia hispanica) insect pests diseases associated with plant. The study also determined nutritional composition plant under Ghanaian environment. A split-plot trial 2 planting methods (direct seed; from seedling) as main plot 3 density (10,000 plants/ha; 20,000 plantst/ha; 40,000 plantst/ha) subplot were...
Foliar application of fertilizers can guarantee nutrient availability to beans, leading higher yield and seed quality. Different approaches including glycine have been used improve mineral status plants toward safer products improved human health. However, limited research has undertaken understand the response beans amino Zn Mg foliar fertilizer in Ghana. This study was conducted investigate effect zinc, magnesium, combined zinc magnesium on two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties...
The global temperature increase of 1.1°C over the past decade and human population growth are already escalating competition for water in locations where is scarce, adversely affecting agriculture. Water-smart farming was developed to address challenges associated with availability, access use agricultural water. It complements practices goals related climate-smart encompasses several climate-responsive food cropping systems, water-saving methods, tools, technologies grow sustainably....
Two field experiments were conducted at Ellembelle and Jomoro districts in the Western region of Ghana where rubber cultivation is a predominant farming activity. The objective study was to assess effect plantain intercropping systems on selected soil properties. experiment arranged randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. treatments sole crop (R), (P) three intercrop comprising an additive series plantain: one row (PR), two rows (PPR) (PPPR). Generally, agroforestry...
Wood vinegar (WV) is a biostimulant and biopesticide that contains pyroligneous acid used as crop growth enhancer biocontrol agent, but insufficient information exists on WV’s effects soil quality cowpea production in Ghana. A field study (2 years) was conducted to determine the appropriate method of applying WV for health production, economic benefits WV. Assessments were nodulation, shoot biomass, yield, value–cost ratio, enzymes, respiration, microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN),...
<p>The study evaluated staking options to address the problem of deforestation for sustainable yam production in Forest and Forest-Savannah Transition zones Ghana. A split-plot design with three varieties (Dente, Water Yam TDR95/19177 line) (No staking, Vertical Trellis 50% 30% number vertical stakes 2012 2013 respectively) as main plots subplots respectively were used. Results revealed a significant (<em>P</em> <span style="text-decoration:...
Abstract The persistence of inoculants from year to in soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivation and the residual benefits production are pertinent adopting such practices sub‐Saharan Africa countries as Ghana. A study was conducted determine effect commercial rhizobium on selected soil health parameters after three cropping seasons. experimental design a split‐plot. main plot consisted cultivars (Jenguma, Afayak, Songda), subplot comprised peat‐based bradyrhizobium (Biofix, Legumefix,...
Modelling and multiple linear regression were used to explore the reason for low maize yield in Atebubu-Amantin West Mamprusi Districts of Ghana, Africa. The study evaluated yields on twenty farms against measures soil fertility, agronomic attributes water availability. Correlations between yield, rain, crop density, weed biomass, low, no single factor could explain yields. A 50-year virtual experiment was then set up using Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) interactions...
Cultivation of yams by rural households contributes to food supply and income generation. Notwithstanding the importance this crop, yam production has been stagnating, threatening livelihoods security. Contrary traditional systems in Ghana, an alternative system that integrates pigeonpea is being proposed mitigate constraints existing through replenishing soil fertility, provision stakes for staking, providing nutritious grains farmers. The purpose study was explore farmers’ determine...
Yam production along the West African yam belt is challenged with deteriorating soil fertility and unavailability of stakes, resulting in decreased productivity, farmers' livelihood. This study evaluated resource use productivity pigeonpea-yam cropping systems Ghana's forest forest-savannah transition zones from 2017 through 2019 seasons. Pigeonpea was established either an alley or as a border during season, while cultivated 2018 2019. A split-plot design system (yam planted alleys...
