Monitoring changes in the cultivation of pigeonpea and groundnut in Malawi using time series satellite imagery for sustainable food systems
To assess the expansion of areas used in the production of pigeonpea and groundnut resulting from the release of new varieties in Malawi, this article discusses how the spatial distribution of cropland areas was mapped using MODIS NDVI 16-day time-series products (MOD13Q1) at a spatial resolution of 250 m for the years 2010–2011 and 2016–2017.
Assessment of genetic variability among groundnut accessions under natural rosette disease infestation in Malawi
Groundnut production in East and South Africa is low due to several constraints. Success in the development of resilient varieties rides on genetic diversity in available germplasm for key traits in question. This study was undertaken to dissect the magnitude of variability among groundnut accessions.
Genotype-by-environment interactions for grain yield of Valencia groundnut genotypes in East and Southern Africa
The objectives of this study were to evaluate Valencia groundnut genotypes for yield stability and classify environments to devise appropriate breeding strategies. Seventeen multi-location trials were conducted in six countries, viz., Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zambia, from 2013 to 2016.
