Analysis of the factors influencing the adoption of digital extension services: evidence from the RiceAdvice application in Nigeria by Amoussohoui, R., Arouna, A., Bavorova, M., Verner, V., Yergo, Wilfried, Banout, J.

“…Using the RiceAdvice as case study, we used choice experiment and the alternative-specific mixed logit model to determine most preferred business profile and analyze its determinants.Findings: The preferred business profile was predicted by gender, age, education level, rice production experience, technology knowledge, contact with extension agents, rice farm size, and household income. 49.4% of farmers selected cash payment after harvest at 9.70 USD/hectare for more than two seasons-contract as first adoption approach. …”

Gender differences in perceptions of climate change and eventual impacts: An intra-household analysis from groundwater depleted zones of Bangladesh by Jahan, Hasneen, Abdullah al Amin, A.K.M., Akhter, Tahmina, Saiful Islam, Abu Hayat M., Rahman, M. Wakilur, Mainuddin, Mohammed, Karim, Fazlul, Sayemd, Sheikh Mohammad

“…There were significant spatial differences in the responses across husbands and wives. The discrete choice modeling approaches employed to explore the determinants of perceptions by husbands and wives illustrated that wives living in high-water-scarce areas and medium-water-scarce areas with higher education and age were more likely to perceive climate change and its eventual impacts, whereas husbands’ age and education were negatively allied with their perceptions. …”

Improved crop productivity and soil properties under varying planting densities of Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth. and Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. in Congo Basin by Mapenzi, N., Katayi, A.L., Bauters, M., Masimane, J., Schure, J., Kweyu, R., Nabahungu, N.L.

“…However, smallholders are limited in their choice of agroforestry species and the spacing. Hence, this study comparatively evaluated the effects of P. macrophylla (native) and A. auriculiformis (exotic) legume tree species on soil macronutrients and food crops’ yield during four cropping seasons. …”

Differences between the strength of preference-performance coupling in two rice stemborers (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae, Crambidae) promotes coexistence at field-plot scales by Horgan, Finbarr G., Romena, Angelita M., Bernal, Carmencita C., Almazan, Maria Liberty P., Ramal, Angelee Fame

“…In contrast, SSB did not demonstrate oviposition preferences under the same screenhouse conditions, but did oviposit less on the wild rice Oryza rufipogon Griff. than on domesticated rice varieties during a choice experiment. Despite differences in preference–performance coupling, larval survival and biomass across 10 varieties were correlated between the two species. …”

Changes in insecticide resistance and host range performance of planthoppers artificially selected to feed on resistant rice by Horgan, Finbarr G., Garcia, Charle Patrick F., Haverkort, Fay, de Jong, Peter W., Ferrater, Jedeliza B.

“…We found that planthoppers with long-term exposure to resistant hosts (particularly IR62 with the Bph3(t) and BPH32 gene loci, and PTB33 with the Bph3(t), BPH32 and BPH26 gene loci) gained virulence against related varieties with the same and different resistance genes, but planthoppers adapted to the resistant host IR65482-4-136-2-2 (BPH10 locus) had reduced performance on phylogenetically distant plants with distinct resistant genes. In choice bioassays, avirulent planthoppers showed marked preferences for susceptible lines, whereas virulent planthoppers were less selective of varieties. …”

Virulence adaptation in a rice leafhopper: Exposure to ineffective genes compromises pyramided resistance by Horgan, Finbarr G., Bernal, Carmencita C., Vu, Quynh, Almazan, Maria Liberty P., Ramal, Angelee Fame, Yasui, Hideshi, Fujita, Daisuke

“…Furthermore, green leafhoppers reared on the susceptible GRH4-NIL for 20 generations showed equal preferences for T65 and GRH2/GRH4-PYL in choice bioassays. Our results indicate that previous long-term exposure to ineffective genes (including unperceived resistance genes) could dramatically reduce the durability of pyramided resistance. …”
