Investigating Awareness and Usage of Electronic Resources by Research Scientists in Ghana
The study investigated the use of electronic resources/information by research scientists in Ghana. Specically, to investigate the awareness and level of use of electronic resources; perceived reliance, benets and impact of use of electronic resources on the research activities. -
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. -
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. -

Yield Stability of Photoperiod Sensitive Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) Accessions under Diverse Climatic Environments
Climate variability is a characteristic feature of the tropics where the summer monsoon starts from May/June and ends mostly in October, thus producing an unpredictably variable length December 9, 2011 of growing season. This results in serious challenges for the mainly substituent small holder farmers in the arid to semi-arid zones of the tropics. -
Physicochemical properties and sensory attributes of local snacks fortified with powdered fish processing by-products and an underutilized fish species.
Fish processing by-products and small pelagic fish could provide minerals and protein in diets of vulnerable populations as these could be more affordable than seafood. The study objectives were to determine the proximate nutrient content of tuna processing by-products and burrito fish and also assess the acceptability of fish powder-fortified local carbohydrate snacks. -
Response of Onion (Allium Cepa L.) Cultivar ‘Bawku Red’ to Irrigation Frequencies in Northern Ghana
Low yield and poor quality of onions produced from the Sudan Savannah Agro-ecological Zone of Ghana among other factors attributed to lack of appropriate cultivars for cultivation, poor knowledge of plant spacing and storability. These factors have the potential of lowering income levels of farmers and wasting precious agriculture land. Field and storage experiments were conducted at Bawku in the Upper East Region of Ghana from 2015 to 2016 to investigate the response of cultivar and spacing on growth as well as yield and shelf-life of onions. -
Soil Fertility for Sustainable Crop Production: A Case Study of Gyerentor in Kete Krachi, Oti Region of Ghana.
Soil fertility management is important for sustainable crop production. In the bid to boost the agricultural development in Ghana, Krachi Farm Ltd, identified Gyerentor in Kete Krachi within the West District of the Oti Region, formally Volta Region as a potential area for cashew, cowpea, maize and mango production
