Assessing Context-Specific Factors to Increase Tree Survival for Scaling Ecosystem Restoration Efforts in East Africa por Magaju, C., Winowiecki, Leigh Ann, Crossland, M., Frija, A., Ouerghemmi, H., Hagazi, N., Sola, P., Ochenje, I., Kiura, E., Kuria, A., Muriuki, J., Carsan, S., Hadgu, K., Bonaiuti, E., Sinclair, Fergus L.

“…Household socioeconomics and farms’ biophysical characteristics such as farm size, education level of the household head, land tenure, age of the household head had significant effects on seedling survival in both Ethiopia and Kenya while presence of soil erosion on the farm had a significant effect in Kenya. Soil quality ranking was positively correlated with tree survival in Ethiopia, regardless of species assessed. …”

Assessing the fodder potentials of drought-tolerant maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids in West Africa por Amole, Tunde A., Adekeye, Adetayo, Bakare, Bazit, Meseka, S., Mengesha, W., Menkir, A.

“…The mean values for ME were similar (P > 0.01) in both commercial hybrids (7.2 MJ/kg DM) and DT hybrid (7.2 MJ/kg DM), while the highest ME (7.6 MJ/kg DM) was recorded for the local check. Ranking of the hybrids based on grain yield, DMY, CP, ME, and IVOMD showed that cluster subgroup A3 (M1124–24, M1527-7, 30F32, and M1427-6) and A4 (M1427-3, SC637, and M1627-11) exhibited the best potential traits and can therefore be recommended for commercial cultivation following adoption trials by farmers.…”

Public spending on agricultural productivity and rural commercialisation: A comparison of impacts using an economy‐wide approach por Aragie, Emerta A., Balié, Jean

“…Productivity‐enhancing interventions such as input subsidy and irrigation development have superior output and welfare consequences, while policies aimed at smallholder commercialization such as infrastructural development aimed at cutting marketing margins have the least effect, suggesting a need to first prioritize relaxing supply constraints. This ranking of the agricultural policies is robust to the investment financing modalities considered. …”

Livestock water productivity in the Blue Nile Basin: assessment of farm scale heterogeneity por Haileslassie, Amare, Peden, Donald G., Gebreselassie, S., Amede, Tilahun, Wagnew, A., Taddesse, G.

“…Then we grouped the samples, using a participatory wealth ranking method, into three wealth groups (rich, medium and poor) and used structured and pre-tested questionnaires to collect data on crops and livestock management and applied reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and crop coefficient (Kc) approaches to estimate depleted (evapotranspiration) water in producing animal feed and food crops. …”

The proportion of anemia associated with iron deficiency in low, medium, and high human development index countries: A systematic analysis of national surveys por Petry, Nicolai, Olofin, Ibironke, Hurrell, Richard F., Boy, Erick, Wirth, James P., Moursi, Mourad, Angel, Moira Donahue, Rohner, Fabian

“…Iron deficiency is commonly assumed to cause half of all cases of anemias, with hereditary blood disorders and infections such as hookworm and malaria being the other major causes. In countries ranked as low, medium, and high by the Human Development Index, we conducted a systematic review of nationally representative surveys that reported the prevalence of iron deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, and anemia among pre-school children and non-pregnant women of reproductive age. …”

Unlocking farmer-preferred multipurpose forage mixtures: A tricot approach in Ethiopia por Mulatu, Kalkidan, De Sousa, Kaue, Ebrahim, Mohammed, Notenbaert, An, Abera, Wuletawu, Mwendia, Solomon, Girma, Eyuel, Jørgensen, Marit

“…Notably, soil cover and erosion reduction were key factors influencing this preference. The preference ranking likely reflects the most probable choices for adoption by livestock and forage producers in the study areas and potentially in similar environments. …”

Evaluation of feed resources availability and use for sustainable livestock production in the Northern highland systems of Lao PDR por Philp, Joshua Neil Monty, Soytavanh, Mienmany, Atieno, Mary, Jalonen, Riina, Mekonnen, Kindu, Gebreyes, Million, Pazos, Mateo, Peters, Michael

“…The application of the G-FEAST tool enabled the characterization of livestock feeding systems in highland mixed farming systems whilst examining the potential for gendered differences in management and constraint ranking. Participating households mainly practiced extensive pastoral agriculture in which cattle account for most tropical livestock units kept and derive most of their nutrition from grazing pastures, including significant areas of planted forage. …”

Genetic parameter estimates and selection gain for multiple traits in white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata) in Ghana por Darkwa, K., Adjei, E.A., Chamba, E.B., Sayibu, A., Amegbor, I.K., Agyapong, F.A., Sayibu, Z., Sayibu, I., Kangmennaang, M., Issifu, M., Agre, P.A., Adebola, P., Asfaw, A.

“…The genetic gain was, however, negative for tuber dry matter content compared to the check varieties, necessitating a modification of the current breeding scheme such that post-harvest food quality is not sacrificed for tuber yield. Ranking of the breeding lines based on the multi-trait selection index identified four lines (TDr1700004_014, TDr1700004_113, TDr1700001_112 and TDr1700002_090) with high genetic merits for all the economic traits. …”

Composition and in vitro gas production of whole stems and cell walls of different genotypes of pearl millet and sorghum por Zerbini, E., Krishan, C.T., Victor, X.V.A., Sharma, A.

“…Except at 12 h for sorghum, gas production of walls was significantly different between genotypes and ranked genotypes differently than gas of stems. Soluble sugars in the stems of both pearl millet and sorghum were positively correlated to gas production at 12, 24, and 36 h, and vice versa for cell walls. …”

Trade-offs between forage yields and feed quality of Lablab purpureus, and milk yields in relation to planting and harvesting schedules por Agyemang, K., Okike, Iheanacho, Makun, H.J., Magaji, S.O.

“…The resultant hays were fed to four groups each of five Bunaji lactating cows in an on-farm feeding trial over a 10-week period. Ranking the various harvests for yield, the hays for feed value, animal responses to the feed consumed and the quality of animal products on a linear scale (1 to 4) to estimate a composite utility index, showed that harvesting at 114 d after planting gave the most desirable overall benefits. …”
