Screenhouse-based shade-tolerance assessments of coffee and bean varieties, and cover crops, to optimize multi-strata intercropping in African smallholder systems

Frontiers in Agronomy
IntroductionIntercropping annuals with perennials such as banana, coffee and trees is widespread in East and Central Africa, where farms are typically small and fragmented.

Seedling length test in the evaluation of the physiological quality of Erythrina velutina Willd seeds /
Teste de comprimento de plântula na avaliação da qualidade fisiológica de sementes de Erythrina velutina Willd

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2009
Amongst the vigor tests, the test of length of seedlings has potential to give complementary informations to the germination test and makes possible to estimate the potential of emergence of seedlings in the field.

How Input Subsidies Boost Food Security in Developing Countries: Micro‐Level Evidence From Zambia

Review of Development Economics, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 2067-2082, August 2026.
ABSTRACT While previous studies have examined the effects of input subsidies on income and yields, we study their impact on food security, measured through household dietary diversity, a key dimension of nutritional well‐being—examined across specific pathways.

Women's Off‐Farm Employment and Dietary Quality in Rural Africa

Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 77, Issue 2, Page 477-492, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Most households in rural Africa are involved in smallholder farming, but off‐farm employment is an important additional income source for many. Previous research has analysed links between off‐farm employment and well‐being, but mostly at the household level, not considering that household members may be affected differently.

When Numbers Mean Money: Pest Precision Sampling in High‐Density Mango Crops

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 333-339, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of sampling plans is essential for assertive decision‐making in integrated pest management programs. The present study aimed to develop a plan for monitoring major mango pests in high‐density mango crops in Brazil. For this purpose, the influence of the position of the branch to be sampled in the canopy (internal and external ...

A Step Toward Rainfall Erosivity Mapping Over Türkiye Using Kriging With External Drift

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study maps rainfall erosivity (R factor) across Türkiye by integrating station‐based observations with satellite‐based precipitation data. The Modified Fournier Index (MFI) derived from CHIRPS was first validated against ground measurements and subsequently incorporated as auxiliary information within a kriging with external drift (KED) framework.

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.
