Increasing fertilizer access and use is an essential component for improving crop production
and food security in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, given the heterogeneous nature of …

Smallholder farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) currently grow rainfed maize with limited
inputs including fertilizer. Climate change may exacerbate current production constraints …

Context The rapid emergence of COVID-19 could have direct and indirect impacts on food
production systems and livelihoods of farmers. From the farming perspective, disruption of …

Introduction Uncertainty in the yield of maize due to variability in weather is a major
challenge to smallholder farmers in Sub Sahara Africa. This study explores the potential of …

The environmental conditions in customered speed breeding practice are, to some extent,
empirical and, thus, can be further optimized. Crop and plant models have been developed …

Recommendations and decisions of crop management in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are
often based on traditional field experimentation. This usually ignores the variability of …

Modelling and multiple linear regression were used to explore the reason for low maize
yield in the Atebubu-Amantin and West Mamprusi Districts of Ghana, West Africa. The study …

Sensitivity analysis of DSSAT outputs to inputs parameters was conducted in two Canadian
locations: one for spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the semi-arid Prairies in Swift …

Smallholder agriculture is the bedrock of the food production system in sub-Saharan Africa.
Yields in Africa are significantly below potentially attainable yields for a number of reasons …

The yield gap and variability in maize under smallholder systems in two agroecologies in
northern Ghana were evaluated using a decision support system for agrotechnology transfer …
