Understanding gender dimensions of agriculture and climate change in smallholder farming communities por Jost, Christine, Kyazze, Florence Birungi, Naab, Jesse B., Neelormi, S, Kinyangi, James, Zougmoré, Robert B., Aggarwal, Pramod K., Bhatta, Gopal Datt, Chaudhury, M., Tapio-Bistrom, M.L., Nelson, S., Kristjanson, Patricia M.

“…Women appear to be less adaptive because of financial or resource constraints, because of male domination in receiving information and extension services and because available adaptation strategies tend to create higher labour loads for women. The climate analogue approach (identifying places resembling your future climate so as to identify potential adaptations) is a promising tool for increasing farmer-to-farmer learning, where a high degree of climatic variability means that analogue villages that have successfully adopted new CSA practices exist nearby. …”

Invitro wholeseedling assay for evaluating nonhost crop plant induction of germination of witch weed seeds por Ahonsi, M., Emechebe, A.

“…The new technique is considered simpler and requires less time, labour and materials. The results obtained for the different legume cultivars screened also suggest that large scale screening of groundnut cultivars for suicidal germination of Striga would be worthwhile in the development of control strategies for the parasite in the region.…”
