In the low-income and resource-poor farming communities of northern Ghana where the bulk of maize is produced, farmers hardly include sulphur and micro nutrients in fertilization. This study shows that inclusion of sulphur, boron, and zinc could increase maize yield by up to 29% compared to non-inclusion. Whilst studies of secondary and micro nutrient inclusion ... Read more
The GlobE-wetlands project is an interdisciplinary project dealing with the effects of cropping activities on seasonal wetlands. While wetlands in sub-Saharan Africa are important sites for food production, especially in semi-arid regions, cropping activities may also have negative impacts on the integrity of agro-ecosystems.

However, this multipurpose crop, is seriously underutilized in Kenya. It is a plant which can be harvested in ... Read more
Visit: www.seku.ac.keThe purpose of the present research shall be to improve the fruit and seed yield of Moringa oleifera in Kenya thus enabling farmers to maximize benefits from this species by increased production per unit area for food, fodder and water purification. There is a high increase in human population, reduction of available land for cultivation ... Read more
Visit: www.seku.ac.keHen Mpoano is collaborating with the US Forest Service International Programs to conserve the Greater Amanzule wetlands. In the local Nzema dialect, Amanzule means water for communities. The wetlands comprise vast mangrove forests, coastal lagoons, estuaries and peat swamp forests that support critical biodiversity, traditional livelihoods and the local fishing economy in the Western region ...
