Baseline GHG emissions from the agricultural sector and mitigation potential in countries of East and West Africa by Brown, S., Grais A, Ambagis S, Pearson T

“…To address this question, we first estimated the business-as-usual emissions of greenhouse gases from the agricultural sector using the IPCC framework and land cover datasets based satellite imagery for the base year 2006 for four East African countries— Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, and five West African countries—Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Niger, and Senegal. We found the total emissions to be in the order of about 129 million t CO2e/yr., with emissions from activities related to livestock dominating (84% of the total). …”

Morphological variation and reproductive incompatibility of three coconutmiteassociated populations of predatory mites identified as Neoseiulus paspalivorus ( Acari: Phytoseiidae) by Sourassou, N.F., Hanna, R., Zannou, I., Moraes, G. de, Negloh, K., Sabelis, M.W.

“…However, laboratory studies recently conducted have shown large differences in feeding behaviors and biological characteristics among individuals collected from three geographic origins: Brazil (South America), Benin and Ghana (West Africa). As morphologically similar specimens do not necessarily belong to the same species, we evaluated under laboratory conditions, reproductive compatibility between the specimens from three geographic locations to ascertain their conspecificity. …”

Screening of water yam (Dioscorea alata L.) genotypes for reactions to viruses in Nigeria by Odu, B.O., Asiedu, Robert, Shoyinka, S.A., Hughes, J.A.

“…Field evaluation also showed that TDa 291 (a landrace genotype from Puerto Rico), TDa 87/01091, TDa 96-4, TDa 95-163 and TDa 289 from Nigeria, and TDa 95-25 (a landrace genotype from Ghana), had a low virus disease symptom rating. Overall screening results showed that two D. alata genotypes (TDa 289 and TDa 291) are good sources of resistance to YMV, DAV and CMV, and that they are tolerant to DaBV.…”
