1. SIMULATION OF CASSAVA YIELD UNDER DIFFERENT CLIMATIC SCENARIOS IN KILEMBWE, SOUTH-KIVU PROVINCE EASTERN DR CONGOClimate variability and change are projected to significantly impact agricultural production across Africa. This study assessed the effects of climate variability and change on cassava yield in Kilembwe, South-Kivu province Eastern DR Congo. The assessment relies on the DSSAT crop model simulation of cassava under current and future climate. The period 1980–2010 was used to represent the baseline, while future projection covers three periods including the near future (2010–2039), ... A.B. Yamungu, A. Egeru, M.J. Majaliwa, B.M. Dossa |
2. The roles of key public services on the adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies in coffee-based farming system of EthiopiaMany studies focused on the adoption studies of relatively expensive technologies such as improved varieties, inorganic fertilizers, and agricultural machines. However, limited empirical studies have been conducted on the adoption of improved agricultural practices such as intercropping, manure application, crop rotation with leguminous crops and forages, conservation tillage, and soil and water management practices which are tremendously important for climate change adaptation and mitigation...

3. Changes in climatic factors lead to the change in cultural wedging of rice in the Ivorian pre-forest zoneClimate change in the pre-forest zone of Cote d'Ivoire has led to a mismatch between cropping periods and new seasons, challenging the sowing periods usually recommended for rainfed rice cultivation in this area. Our study aims to determine the optimal sowing period for two rainfed rice varieties cultivated in this pre-forest zone of the country. The agroclimatic analysis carried out over the period 1980-2017 allowed to determine the optimal dates for sowing ri... C. Brou |
