Perspective article: food security in tropical Africa through climate-smart plant health management por Neuenschwander, Peter, Borgemeister, C., Groote, H. de, Saethre, M.G., Tamò, Manuele

“…Resistant varieties are often the only way to control already established diseases and are a mainstay control method in combination with other practices. 5. Various bio-pesticides based on viruses, bacteria and fungi against insects have been commercialized or can be produced on-farm; they are to replace synthetic pesticides, which continue to have large negative impacts on the environment and human health. …”

High prevalence of porcine cysticercosis in slaughtered pigs in Rwanda: An abattoir survey por Shyaka, Anselme, Rujeni, Nadine, Kanyamibwa, Eric I., Kagabo, Geofrey, Fèvre, Eric M., Quinnell, R.J.

“…Porcine cysticercosis (PC) is an important public health problem, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, but limited information is available on the prevalence of infection in pigs entering the food chain. Existing diagnostic methods vary in accuracy and efficiency; whole carcass dissection is the most reliable method but is labour-intensive and destroys the carcass so can only be used in a research setting. …”

Targeting the poor in Mexico: evaluation of the selection of beneficiary households into PROGRESA por Skoufias, Emmanuel, Davis, Benjamin, de la Vega, Sergio

“…Soon after completion of the report by Skoufias, Davis and Behrman in June 1999 we were informed that PROGRESA had added new households to the list of beneficiaries through a process called densification" since it was felt that the original selection method was biased against the elderly poor who no longer lived with their children. …”

Transforming soil quality index predictions in the Nile River Basin using hybrid stacking machine learning techniques por Singha, Chiranjit, Sahoo, Satiprasad, Govind, Ajit

“…Eleven key soil quality indicators such as bulk density (BD), sand, silt, clay, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), calcium (Ca), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) were analyzed to estimate the observed SQI (SQIobs) using a PCA-based scoring method and geostatistical techniques. The SQIobs were validated against in-situ wheat yield. …”

Genetic variation associated with increased lambda-cyhalothrin resistance in Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in West Africa por Tossou, E., Tepa-Yotto, G., Goergen, G., Tchigossou, G., Tchouakui, M., Nguete, D.N., Amadou, L., Noussourou, M., Bokonon-Ganta, A., Wondji, C.S., Tamò, Manuele, Djouaka, R.F.

“…In this study, we characterized the strains from eighteen fall armyworm populations from different countries in West Africa, established their susceptibility profiles to the main insecticides and genotyped the target site resistance alleles. The RFLP-PCR method showed that the majority of the population tested was a corn strain (72.5–100%) compared to the probable rice strain (0–27.5%). …”

Spatial modeling of risk in natural resource management por Jones, Peter G., Thornton, Philip K.

“…Making decisions in natural resource management involves an understanding of the risk and uncertainty of the outcomes, such as crop failure or cattle starvation, and of the normal spread of the expected production. Hedging against poor outcomes often means lack of investment and slow adoption of new methods. …”
