Modeling the impacts of climate change on the thermal and oxygen dynamics of Lake Volta
Climatic changes influence the thermal and oxygen dynamics of a lake and thus its ecological functioning. The impacts of climatic changes on tropical lakes are so far poorly studied and the extent of the effects is therefore uncertain, most investigations describing only potential effects. -
Simulation of climate characteristics and extremes of the Volta Basin using CCLM and RCA regional climate models
The extent to which statistical bias-adjusted outputs of two regional climate models alter the projected change signals for the mean (and extreme) rainfall and temperature over the Volta Basin is evaluated -
Econometric Modeling of the Epidemic Cost of Cape Saint Paul Wilt Disease on Coconut Cultivation in Ghana: A Case Study of MYD x VTT Hybrid Coconuts
ape Saint Paul Wilt Disease has destroyed several thousands of hectares of coconut plantings in the main coconut producing regions of Ghana namely, Western, Central, and Volta Regions. The capacity of the disease to decimate coconut populations in active disease foci threatens the coconut industry rehabilitation programmes in Ghana. -

Producing White Yam for the Export Market: The influence of Seed Sett Size and Planting Density on Tuber Sizes
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed sett sizes and planting density on the tuber size and yields of yam. The treatments were arranged in a split-split plot design with two premium Dioscorea rotundata varieties (Pona and Dente) as main plot. Seed sett sizes (farmers' sett size 350 g, half farmers' sett size 175g) as subplot and Planting density (6944 plt/ha; 8333 plt/ha; 10417plt/ha; 13889 plt/ha; 20833 plt/ha) as sub-sub plot in 2014. Minisetts (50 g) a popular yam multiplication technique was added in 2015. -
