Gender Analysis of Sweet Potato Production in Ghana
Gender issues have become key in agricultural research and activities mostly focusing on the differences between sexes in production. The Ghanaian traditional setting perceives farming as a man’s world due to its tedious and laborious nature. Gender distribution along the sweet potato value chain is vital in modern research as it affects adoption of technologies and output. This study cuts across various stages in sweet potato production with emphasis on gender analysis at various levels in production in 4 districts (Bawku municipal, Kwahu East, Twifo Ati Mokwa and Akatsi South) with total sample size of 120 farmers obtained through multi-stage sampling. -

Efficacy of Garlic (Allium Sativum) Bulb and Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) Rhizome Extracts in Controlling Seed-Borne Fungi of Rice (Oryza Sativa)
The efficacy of garlic bulb and ginger rhizome extracts were tested in-vitro at different concentrations against four seed-borne fungi (Aspergillus flavus, Bipolaris oryzae, Curvularia lunata and Fusarium moniliforme) isolated from rice. Bulbs of garlic and rhizomes of ginger were blended with distilled water to make 60% w/v and 40% w/v concentrations of botanical extracts. Surface of Potato Dextrose Agar plates were coated with 2 mls of the botanical extracts and sterile distilled water (control), inoculated with disc of the fungal isolates (8 mm) and incubated at 28°C.
