Growth Performance and Cost-Effectiveness of Farm-Made and Commercial Tilapia Starter Diets in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) Fingerling Production in Ghana
This study investigated the growth performance and cost-effectiveness in producing an average of 2.0 g Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings using a farm-made tilapia starter diet (ARDECFEED) and two commonly used commercial ones (MULTIFEED and RAANAN) by tilapia hatchery operators in Ghana. -

Reactions of some confectionery groundnut accessions to plant parasitic nematodes infection
Investigations were conducted at four locations in Ghana during 2011 growing season to evaluate some confectionery groundnut accessions reactions to plant parasitic nematodes infection. -
Food safety concerns of fast-food consumers in urban Ghana
In Ghana, out-of-home ready-to-eat foods including fast food generally have been associated with food safety problems. Notwithstanding, fast food production and consumption are increasing in Ghana and therefore this study sought to determine the food safety issues of importance to consumers and the extent to which they worry about them. -
Performance evaluation of prototype mechanical cassava harvester in three agro-ecological zones in Ghana
Large-scale cassava harvesting, especially during the dry season, is a major constraint to its industrial demand and commercial production. -
Exploratory and multidisciplinary survey of the cowpea network in Tolon-Kumbungu district of Ghana: A food sovereignty perspective
An exploratory survey of selected deprived communities in the Tolon-Kumbungu district of northern region of Ghana was conducted in August 2007 by a multi-disciplinary team of social scientist, food technologist, plant breeder and food nutritionist. -
Fast Food in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana: Characteristics, Availability and the Cuisine Concept
Fast food has been extensively debated but most studies have focused on one or two of its characteristics. Using the cuisine concept, we propose a more comprehensive approach to the study of fast-food characteristics and availability, while taking cultural context into account. The objectives of this paper are to explore the usefulness of the cuisine concept and to provide some insight into fast food characteristics and its availability in the Greater Accra Region (GAR) of Ghana. -
Combining Ability of Extra‐Early Maize Inbreds Derived from a Cross between Maize and Zea diploperennis and Hybrid Performance under Contrasting Environments
Knowledge of the genetic mechanisms conditioning drought tolerance in maize is crucial to the success of hybrid breeding programs aimed at developing high-yielding cultivars under drought. -
Seasonal nitrogen dynamics in lowland rice cropping systems in inland valleys of northern Ghana
Farmers in the inland valleys of northern Ghana are challenged with nitrogen (N) deficiency as a major production constraint of rainfed lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.).
