PMID: 32863892
Agron Sustain Dev. 2020;40(4):25. doi: 10.1007/s13593-020-00630-7. Epub 2020 Jul 09.

Crop varieties should fulfill multiple requirements, including agronomic performance and product quality. Variety evaluations depend on data generated from field trials and sensory analyses, performed with different levels of participation from farmers and consumers. Such multi-faceted variety evaluation is...

How the growing world population can feed itself is a crucial, multi-dimensional problem that goes beyond sustainable development. Crop production will be affected by many changes in its climatic, agronomic, economic, and societal contexts. Therefore, breeders are challenged to...

Trait profile of maize varieties preferred by farmers and value chain actors in northern Ghana.

Agronomy for sustainable development
