Agronomic biofortification is the deliberate use of mineral fertilizers to increase the concentration of a target mineral in edible portions of crops to increase dietary intake of the target mineral. Globally, increased ...

The paper examines the laws and policies that regulate corporate environmental practices in Ghana, with an emphasis on mining. In particular, the analysis of the legal and regulatory framework examines the extent to which ...

Water productivity has become a key requirement in sustainable crop production and environmental management. Defcit irrigation (DI) and partial root-zone drying irrigation (PRDI) are two strategies that have been exploited ...

The weed flora in an oil palm plantation situated in a semi-deciduous forest zone in Central Region of Ghana was assessed to identify the weeds and evaluate their abundance. The comprehensive stock of weeds obtained was ...

This paper presents early field lessons on Ghana’s Fertilizer Subsidy Program from two farming communities in the Central Region. A combination of quantitative and qualitative approach was used to assess the availability, ...

Sub-Sahara Africa is considered to be most vulnerable to climate variability including flooding. The frequency and severity of floods in Northern Ghana over the last decade has increased considerably. Through qualitative ...

Resource use conflict is an enduring problem for science and policy making. Using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with resource users, policy makers and key informants, we explored four case examples of ...

A laboratory microcosm incubation was conducted to study the influence of mixed cowpea-maize residues on N2O emission and N mineralization in a tropical acrisol. The soils were incorporated with different ratios of cowpea: ...

Rhizoboxes are soil-root compartments that may well provide the closest naturalistic conditions for studying root systems architectures (RSAs) in controlled environments. Rhizobox-based studies can however lead to ...

Wheat production in arid and semi-arid environments can be limited by water stress which hastens premature senescence and consequently lowers yield. ‘Stay green’ is a vital characteristic associated with the capacity of ...
