Do wealthy farmers implement better agricultural practices? An assessment of implementation of Good Agricultural Practices among different types of independent oil palm smallholder... by Jelsma, I., Woittiez, Lotte Suzanne, Ollivier, J., Dharmawan, A.H.

“…This implies that farmers across different typologies opt for a low-input low-output system for a myriad of reasons and that under current conditions, initiatives such as improving access to finance or availability of good planting material alone are unlikely to significantly improve the productivity and sustainability of the smallholder oil palm sector.…”

Genetic variability and population structure of Ethiopian Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) germplasm assessed through phenotypic traits and simple sequence repeats markers by Teklu, D.H., Shimelis, Hussein, Abebe, A.T., Mashilo, J., Zhang, X., Zhang, Y., Dossa, K., Shayanowako, A.I.T.

“…The SSR markers revealed gene diversity and polymorphic information content values of 0.30 and 0.25, respectively, showing that the tested sesame accessions were genetically diverse. Cluster analysis resolved the accessions into two groups, while population structure analysis revealed four major heterotic groups, thus enabling selection and subsequent crossing to develop breeding populations for cultivar development. …”

Lifetime productivity of dairy cows in smallholder farming systems of the Central highlands of Kenya by Rufino, Mariana C., Herrero, Mario, Wijk, Mark T. van, Hemerink, L., Ridder, N.A. de, Giller, Kenneth E.

“…Evaluation of lifetime productivity is sensible to target interventions for improving productivity of smallholder dairy systems in the highlands of East Africa, because cows are normally not disposed of based on productive reasons.
