Site-specific nutrient management advice and agricultural intensification in maize-based systems in Nigeria by Oyinbo, O.

“…Overall, this dissertation shows that there is high adoption potential of nutrient management DSTs for maize by extension agents, and of extension advice from such DSTs by farmers, which aligns with the widespread interest and investments in site-specific and digital tools for agricultural applications in developing countries. Yet, the findings show economically small but significant effects of DST-enabled SSNM recommendations on intensification of maize production. …”

Genetic Variation, Diversity and Genotype by Environment Interactions of Nutritional Quality traits in East African Sweetpotato by Tumwegamire, S.

“…The present study sought to contribute to the pre-breeding knowledge base required for the improvement of sweetpotato nutritional quality targeting β-carotene, dry matter, starch, sucrose and minerals (i.e Fe, Zn, Ca and Mg) as a sustainable strategy to reduce the problems associated with the micronutrient deficiencies and malnutrition among people in developing countries. The specific objectives of the study were to i) characterize selected East African sweetpotato accessions for storage root quality (dry matter, protein, starch, sucrose, ß-carotene, iron, zinc, calcium and magnesium) ii) determine the magnitude of GxE variation in orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) varieties of East African origin for yield and nutritional traits conducted across ecogeograhic zones of Uganda; and iii) study genetic relationships among and between OFSP and white-fleshed sweetpotato (WFSP) farmer varieties gene pools, and how these two phenotypic groups compare with non-African OFSP and WFSP accessions. …”
