摘要

在加纳,花生仍然是主要的主食和重要的经济作物。种子质量是加纳花生生产成功的关键因素。一项针对加纳北部、上东区、上西区、波诺东区和阿散蒂地区200名花生种植者的调查记录了2019年他们对种子质量属性的看法。农民留存种子是种植种子的主要来源。高发芽率是种子在选择过程中的首要属性。农民们表示,将考虑对优质种子进行溢价。农民们还同意,与当地市场上的种子相比,认证种子和农民保存的种子在品种纯度、发芽率和幼苗活力方面都具有更高的质量。石荔枝是最受欢迎的品种。早熟是农民最期望的特征。这些发现支持有必要加大对种子质量的投资,以促进经过认证的种子生产,并有必要改善对在开放市场上销售的种子的监管。

Preferences for Seed Quality and Cultivar Characteristics of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) by Farmers in Ghana
Peanut remains a major staple and important cash crop in Ghana. Seed quality is a critical component of successful peanut production in Ghana. A survey of 200 peanut farmers documented perceptions of seed quality attributes in 2019 in the Northern, Upper East, Upper West, Bono East, and Ashanti Regions of Ghana. Farmer-saved seed was the main source of seed for planting. High germination rate was the primary attribute of seed in the selection process. Farmers indicated that a premium would be considered for high quality seed. Farmers also agreed that certified seed and farmer saved seed provided high quality relative to seed found in local markets with respect to cultivar purity, germination, and seedling vigor. Shitaochi was the most popular cultivar. Early maturation was the most desired characteristic listed by farmers. These findings support the need for greater investment in seed quality for certified seed production and the need for improved regulation of seed sold in open markets.
