Analysis of Adoption of Improved Groundnut Varieties in the Tropical Legume Project (TL III) States in Nigeria
This study analyzes through descriptive statistics and an Average Treatment Effect (ATE) framework data on the adoption of improved groundnut varieties in Nigeria.
Legume seed production for sustainable seed supply and crop productivity: case of groundnut in Tanzania and Uganda
This article uses a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate different seed production models for groundnut seeds in Tanzania and Uganda.
Translational genomics for achieving higher genetic gains in groundnut
This article describes advances in translational genomics in the groundnut to facilitate faster trait dissection, gene discovery and accelerated genetic improvement for developing climate-smart varieties.
A Case of Mistaken Identity? Measuring Rates of Improved Seed Adoption in Tanzania Using DNA Fingerprinting
This study used household survey data from Tanzania to test the alignment between farmer-reported and DNA-identified maize seed types planted.
Genetics of Stay-Green Trait and Its Association with Leaf Spot Tolerance and Pod Yield in Groundnut
This study was designed to determine the genetic control of the stay-green trait and its relationship with leaf spot disease severity in groundnut. Results showed significant (p < 0.001) differences among the genotypes for early leaf spot (ELS), late leaf spot (LLS), leaf area under greenness (LAUG), SPAD chlorophyll meter readings (SCMR), and yield traits.
Profitability and profit efficiency of certified groundnut seed and conventional groundnut production in Northern Ghana: A comparative analysis
This study seeks to compare profitability and profit efficiency of certified groundnut seed (CGS) and conventional groundnut (CG) production in Northern Ghana using cross-sectional data.
Demand driven common bean variety development and promotion for enhanced productivity and production
This study provides an overview of Ethiopia’s common bean research program, which aims to develop in-demand bean varieties for enhanced adoption, improve food and nutrition security, and generate higher incomes for smallholder farmers.
Adoption of varietal and accompanying groundnut technologies in Sokoto and Kebbi States of Northwestern Nigeria
This paper summarises the outcomes of an adoption survey of new groundnut varieties in north western Nigeria.
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market‐demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes (TL) with a total investment of about US$ 67 million funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
