https://hdl.handle.net/10568/44151
Abstract
This paper evaluates the utility of the `learning selection' model of the early adoption process, based on a constructivist conceptual framework, to explain farmers' adoption and rejection of two soil-improving technologies alley farming and the use of Mucuna cover crops. The analysis showed that Mucuna was more…

Effect of drought on Oryza glaberrima rice accessions and Oriza glaberrima derived-lines
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/42031
Abstract
Rice varieties response to drought has been extensively studied and many lines have been released, but identifying new tolerant lines is still a challenge for scientists due to the complexity and the specificity of this constraint over environments. Three sets of field experiments were conducted between 2006 and 2008 at Africa Rice…

Abstract
The larva of the bean pod weevil (BPW), Apion godmani Wagner (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), causes serious yield losses in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Mexico and Central America, by consuming the seed as it develops in the immature pod. Resistance to the BPW was identified in bean…

Abstract
Crossbred Duroc × Hampshire-Landrace (D × HL) pigs from 24 litters were assigned at 56 days of age to either a standard corn-soybean meal-type diet containing 16% protein or a similar diet containing 10% protein. Of 66 pigs fed 16% protein (53 females, 13 males), 13 females and three males were chosen at random after 42 days on test to constitute the control…

Abstract
If we are to breed common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for durable resistance to diseases, we must understand pathogenic variation and find sources of resistance. Our first objective was to determine the patterns of pathogenic variation found among isolates of Phaeoisariopsis griseola (…
