ABSTRACT: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a very important food crop that is propagated vegetatively by roots in most parts of the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Africa produces over 54% of the world cassava and Nigeria is at the top of world production with 57 million tonnes. Like most Vegetative Propagated Crops (VPCs), this method of asexual reproduction makes them more vulnerable to pest and disease attacks. The bulkiness of cassava stems that serve as the planting materials (seed) together with low multiplication rate and perishability tend.....

ABSTRACT: La lutte contre les ennemis de culture est l’une des propriétés des producteurs dans les pays en voie de développement. Le Gouvernement de la République Démocratique du Congo a pris l’option de résoudre les problèmes de baisse de rendement de maïs dus aux attaques de ravageurs principalement la chenille légionnaire d’automne par l’utilisation des variétés résistantes distribuées par le Programme National de Développement agricole. Cette étude a pour objectif d’identifier les facteurs explicatifs de l’adoption des variétés améliorées de mais dans la commune rurale de Djuma......

ABSTRACT: Cereals are edible grains that belong to the grass family (Poaceae) and are widely cultivated for their carbohydrate-rich seeds, which serve as staple foods for a large portion of the global population. The present study aims to know the growth, instability and crop diversification of Cereals as they are most significant food crops which are grown in large extent and yielding more income to the farmers in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh with the......

ABSTRACT: Climate change poses a significant challenge to global agriculture, influencing food production, water availability, and ecosystem stability. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increasing greenhouse gas concentrations are disrupting traditional agricultural systems, particularly in developing countries where food security is already at risk. Projections suggest a global temperature rise of 1.4°C to 5.8°C by 2100, which could reduce crop yields, increase drought frequency, and escalate pest and disease outbreaks. Agricultural productivity is projected to decline by 3% to 16% globally by 2080, with some developing nations experiencing up to a 40% reduction in yields.......
