Abstract
Markets for agricultural products with special quality,
environmental, and social attributes can provide a
profitable outlet for poor farmers in developing countries.
However, participation in high value markets requires
that farmers commit to deliver pre-identified volumes on

Variety selection and seed quality management in grain legume cultivation
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/98307
Abstract
A key aspect of grain legume crop cultivation is selecting and being able to access the seed of the right type and quality. This is becoming more challenging as grain legumes become cash crops and smallholder farmers transition from subsistence farming to market-oriented production.

Restoring soil fertility in the East African highlands through participatory research
World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF)
Abstract
Land degradation is the principal environmental factor behind declining percapita food production in sub-Saharan Africa. Causes include nutrient mining, soil erosion, poor land management and lack of resources. Risingpopulation pressure often obliges farmers to utilize vulnerable, sloping land withaggravated erosion and degradation (Figure 1). A major concern of many stakeholders in highland areas, besides…

Genetic Variability and Character Association for Grain Iron and Zinc Contents in Sorghum Germplasm Accessions and Commercial Cultivars
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)
Abstract
Sorghum a widely consumed cereal stapled in sub-tropical and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia. Sorghum is the second cheapest source of energy and micronutrients (after pearl millet). Micronutrient malnutrition, primarily the result of diets poor in bio-available vitamins and minerals, causes blindness and anemia…

Abstract
Seeds provide an efficient method for disseminating pathogenic organisms to different locations; more than 50 percent of the major bean diseases are seed borne. Mechanical damage, which may occur during harvesting, threshing and/or planting can affect seed viability, germination, and result in contamination by microorganisms. Seed pathogens can be controlled with protectant fungicides that penetrate the…
