The CIAT’s cassava research took the initiative to contribute to such approach

The potential yield of bioethanol is apparently higher in cassava than for any other plant species, including the traditional bioethanol source crops such as maize, sweet sorghum and sugarcane. However, the gap between the potential experimental yields of cassava and the actual yields on farmers’ fields is more than fivefold . With the exception of …

The dispersion test was used as a routine procedure for all samples submitted to SCS Laboratories

In our studies this could not be shown, probably because the organic matter contents and release of N were comparably small and thus system related differences were not visible against the general “noise” of spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Determination of the impact of tillage on WSA did not result in a clear-cut trend suggesting that …

Agroforestry production systems decreased incomeinequality in the study area

Notwithstanding this concern the Gini coefficient still remains a popular inequality measure of total inequality and as a decomposable measure. Using the CV approach, we decomposed the total household incomes into three major categories of income namely; income from crops, income from timber products , and income from off-farm activities . We purposefully used CV …
