The objective is to characterize the morphological diversity within taro accessions of the genus Xanthosoma from four geographical areas of Côte d'Ivoire. The study took place in the central, eastern, western and southern geographical areas of Côte d'Ivoire, involving 119 accessions of taro genus Xanthosoma comprising four morphotypes (M1, M2, M3 and M7). These accessions have been characterized based on traits related to the plant's habit, leaves, main tuber and secondary tubers, revealing a considerable morphological diversity. The observed traits were highly discriminating, leading to the identification of four homogeneous classes. The morphotypes M1, M2, M3 and M7 played a crucial role in classifying the 119 accessions of the taro genus Xanthosoma , with each class exclusively containing one of the four morphotypes. Classes 1 and 2, containing the M2 and M1 morphotypes, respectively, were closely related. These results demonstrate that the majority of taro accessions in Côte d'Ivoire can be characterized by the presence of four morphotypes: M1, M2, M3 and M7. Taro breeding efforts could be directed based on these four Xanthosoma morphotypes.","PeriodicalId":7540,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Agricultural Research","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140415637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most important findings of this study reveal that the total water used in the production of red meat amounted to 46.68 billion cubic meters, representing 10.14% of the total water consumption in the agricultural sector during the period 1995 to 2022. The volume of water used in red meat production depends on several factors; with the most significant being the ratio of the area dedicated to fodder crops to the total cropped area and the ratio of the area of green fodder to the total area of fodder crops. Additionally, a 10% increase in the estimated amount of water used in red meat production results in a marginal 0.22% increase in overall water usage in the agricultural sector. This is attributed to a reduction in the area of green fodder and the Agricultural Development Fund's adoption of initiatives to enhance sheep multiplication and improvement. To achieve sustainable development goals in the face of water scarcity, the following actions are required: (1) persisting in the cessation of green fodder cultivation to conserve water for future generations, (2) leveraging virtual water obtained from imports and Saudi agricultural investments","PeriodicalId":7540,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Agricultural Research","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140415605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two split plot experiments laid out in a Randomized Complete Block design (RCBD) with three replications were established at Lyamungu-Kilimanjaro region and Burka-Arusha region based on the existing climatic gradient. Such data as, soil organic carbon, soil texture, growth characteristics and coffee yield were collected in the period from 2019 to 2022. Cuttings-propagated plants outperformed seed and grafted-counterparts in all aspects (p < 0.05). This could be due to the greater physiological maturity of cutting propagated plants, causing earlier production capability. Cuttings propagated plants had the highest yield 2800 and 3600 Kg ha -1 green coffee at Burka and Lyamungu sites, respectively. The grafted propagated plants had the lowest green coffee yield of 800 and 1700 Kg ha -1 at Burka and Lyamungu sites, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that cuttings propagated plants under the age of 4 years with the same rooting age as seed and grafted plants perform better in the field than seeds and grafted plants.","PeriodicalId":7540,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Agricultural Research","volume":"19 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140412134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the country’s maize is produced in the area despite its sandy soils and semi-arid climate. Crop rotation has been identified as a management practice which has potential to maintain and improve crop production and profitability. This study’s objective was to determine the effect of different rotational systems on the production and profitability of maize and soybean in this area. A field trial was set up where maize, soybean and cover crops were used to compare rotational systems with monoculture maize. Trials were monitored for three consecutive years with yield and enterprise data collected and analysed accordingly. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that although climate played a role, maize in rotational systems with soybean and cover crop performed 14% better than monoculture maize. In addition, soybean production and profitability increased up to 40% over time when incorporated with maize. These results emphasise the importance of crop rotation as a means of ensuring economic viability and agricultural sustainability. It is recommended that maize in the North-Western Free State be grown in rotation with soybean and cover crop to ensure sustainability.","PeriodicalId":7540,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Agricultural Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140414883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
