  • Changes in rainfall characteristics in Wenchi and Saltpond farming areas of Ghana 
    Quagraine, Kwesi Akumenyi; Klutse, Nana Ama Browne; Nkrumah, Francis; Adukpo, David Cudjoe; Owusu, Kwadwo (University of Cape Coast, 2017-03-28)
    Ghana’s economy heavily relies on agriculture, which is predominantly rainfed across its agro-ecological zones. As a result of this, it is vulnerable to rainfall variability, which tends to have a major impact on the ...
  • Food security and climate change in drought-sensitive savanna zones of Ghana 
    Armah, Frederick A.; Odoi, Justice O.; Yengoh, Genesis T.; Obiri, Samuel; Yawson, David O.; Afrifa, Ernest K. A. (University of Cape Coast, 2010-09-04)
    Desertification, climate variability and food security are closely linked through drought, land cover changes, and climate and biological feedbacks. In Ghana, only few studies have documented these linkages. To establish ...
  • Impact of prolonged rainy seasons on food crop production in Cameroon 
    Yengoh, Genesis T.; Tchuinte, Augustin; Armah, Frederick Ato; Odoi, Justice O. (University of Cape Coast, 2010-07-20)
    This study set out to examine why agricultural production in differing agroecological zones of the same country responds differently to a common environmental event (an extension of the rainy season). We find that the heavy ...
  • Spatio-temporal variations in the incidence and severity of maize streak disease in the Volta Region of Ghana 
    Asare-Bediako, E.; Kvarnheden, A; Puije GC, van der; Frimpong K, Agyei; Amenorpe, G; Appiah-Kubi, A; Lamptey, JNL; Oppong, A; Mochiah, MB; Adama, I; Tetteh, FM (University of Cape Coast, 2017)
    The study was conducted to assess the influence of different agro-ecological zones and cropping seasons on the incidence and severity of maize streak disease (MSD) in Ghana. Field surveys were conducted in two districts ...
