Field efficacy of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) for managing soil arthropods and Cercospora leaf spots damage for increased yield in peanut

Plant Protection Science, 2013
Field efficacy of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) for managing soil arthropods and Cercospora leaf spots damage to peanut was studied in Ghana from 2008 to 2010.

Fermentation Potentials of Baobab Pulp Extract in Soy Yoghurt Production

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
The research work was about the importance of sourcing for alternative inoculants to replace the main inoculants regularly used for yoghurt production. The search for baobab pulp extract as replacement yielded result, as soy yoghurt was successfully produced.

Deforestation and Efficiency: Insights From Forest Transition in the Brazilian Cerrado

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper estimates technical efficiency (TE) and environmental efficiency (EE) of agricultural production at the municipal level of the Brazilian Cerrado in 2006 and 2017, and investigates their underlying mechanisms in relation to forest transition theory.

Determining the optimal inoculant rate to maximize soybean productivity in the Guinea Savanna agro-ecological zone of Ghana

Scientific Reports
Soybean productivity in sub-Saharan Africa is often constrained by low soil fertility and limited biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). This study evaluated the effects of different rhizobial inoculant rates (0, 5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 g kg−1 seed) on growth,

Browsing in a heterogeneons savanna

Ecography, 2000
Large herbivores generally depend on and interact with a food resource that is heterogeneous at different spatial scales. Plants allocate resources to rapid growth or to defence mechanisms depending on the availability of resources relative to loss of resources from herbivory. Herbivores select food and feeding habitats in order to maximize intake rate

Herbarium‐based measurements are reliable predictors of fresh plant traits in Neotropical Myrtaceae

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Herbarium specimens are increasingly used to extract morphological traits for ecological and evolutionary studies, yet the effects of tissue desiccation on trait measurements remain poorly understood. Here, we tested two hypotheses: (H1) whether higher tissue water content leads to greater measurement changes after herborization and ...

Reflecting on research produced after more than 60 years of exclosures in the Kruger National Park

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2022
Herbivores are a main driver of ecosystem patterns and processes in semi-arid savannas, with their effects clearly observed when they are excluded from landscapes.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Optimizing maize varietal response to nitrogen fertilization in the Guinea Savanna agroecological zone

Discover Plants
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important cereal crop in Ghana but yields still fall short of potential due to poor soil fertility and suboptimal nitrogen (N) management.
