Genetic gains in tropical maize hybrids across moisture regimes with multi-trait-based index selection por Singamsetti, Ashok, Zaidi, Pervez Haider, Seetharam, Kaliyamoorthy, Vinayan, Madhumal Thayil, Olivoto, Tiago, Mahato, Anima, Madankar, Madankar, Kumar, Munnesh, Shikha, Kumari

“…Hybrid, moisture condition, and hybrid-by-moisture condition interaction effects were significant (p ≤ 0.001) for most of the traits studied. Eleven genotypes were selected in each moisture condition through MGIDI by assuming 15% selection intensity where two hybrids, viz., ZH161289 and ZH161303, were found to be common across all the moisture regimes, indicating their moisture stress resilience, a unique potential for broader adaptation in rainfed stress-vulnerable ecologies. …”

Analysis of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) trade in Cameroon: A trader's perspective of preferred varieties and market traits por Nchanji, Eileen Bogweh, Bella Ngoh, Siri, Toywa, Johnworker, Lutomia, Cosmas Kweyu

“…We recommend that common bean breeders should involve traders as important stakeholders whose market intelligence can be useful in developing improved bean varieties, which are demand-driven. Also, governmental and non-governmental agencies should promote improved common bean varieties to enhance productivity that meets the high demand in local and export markets. …”

Designing for empowerment impact in agricultural development projects: Experimental evidence from the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Gender Linkages (ANGeL) project in Bangladesh por Quisumbing, Agnes R., Ahmed, Akhter, Hoddinott, John F., Pereira, Audrey, Roy, Shalini

“…Our results also suggest some potential benefits of bundling nutrition and gender components with an agricultural development intervention; however, many of these benefits seem to be driven by bundling nutrition with agriculture. While we cannot assess the extent to which including men and women within the same treatment arms contributed to our results, it is plausible that the positive impacts of all treatment arms on women’s empowerment outcomes may have arisen from implementation modalities that provided information to both husbands and wives when they were together. …”
