Influence of integrated soil fertility management on the vegetative growth parameters of zea mays in the Guinea savanna eco-zone of Ghana
All over the world, attention has been drawn to the use of eco-friendly biochar application to improve crop productivity. In Ghana, there are available potential feedstocks left unused and can be used for the production of biochar. -
Spatial prediction of soil organic carbon stocks in Ghana using legacy data
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a major driver of the multiple functions of soils in the delivery of ecosystem services. While the spatial prediction and mapping of SOC stocks are of key importance for land managers to understand the synergies between SOC management and soil health, a spatially-explicit map of the distribution of SOC stocks in Ghana is non-existent. -
Integrated rice-fish farming as a business. The case of Golinga irrigation scheme small farmers
The purpose of the Golinga Rice-fish farming project was to improve the capacities of members of a Farmer Based Organization (FBO) to carry out environmentally friendly, sustainable rural farming business using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques at the Golinga Irrigation Project (GIP) in northern Ghana. -
The physico-mechanical influence of dehydroxylized activated local kaolin: A supplementary cementitious material for construction applications
This work presents the effect of partially replacing metakaolin with Portland limestone cement to produce mortars for construction. Teleku Bokazo kaolin was explored as a SCM in the production of mortars. -
Survey of Soil Arthropod Pests and Assessment of Yield Loss in Peanut
Soil arthropod pests are important constraints to peanut production in Ghana. Surveys of peanut fields were conducted from 2003–2005 to identify and estimate densities of key soil arthropod pests, and also to quantify their damage to peanut in the three regions (Northern, Upper East and Upper West) of northern Ghana. -
Influence of Agricultural Information Sources on The Practices And Livelihood Outcomes of Cassava Farmers in Eastern Region Of Ghana
Cassava farmers have a variety of information needs; however, these information requirements are unmet by the public extension agents. -
Development of biogas resources and technologies in Ghana, a survey
Due to rapid global population growth and urbanization, there is corresponding increasing demand for energy. This increasing demand has necessitated the need to explore alternative sources of energy -
Peanut Arachis hypogaea response to weed and disease management in northern Ghana
Weeds and diseases can reduce peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) yield or increase cost of production to maintain acceptable yield. -
