Biological control of Imperata cylindrica, Beed, F., Charudattan, R. and Den Breeyen, A., in: Proceedings of the 4th International Weed Science Congress, 20-24 June 2004, Durban, South Africa, pages 33, 2004.
 
Abstract:
An overview will be provided of the prospects for the biological control of the rhizomatous grass Imperata cylindrica [(L.) Raeuschel]. Imperata cylindrica is an undisputed target for control technologies in West Africa as it reduces crop yields and causes the abandonment of agricultural land for resource poor farmers. Biological control can provide an environmentally friendly, sustainable and selective method that will be adopted if it provides advantages over alternative control strategies. The influence of variation between biotypes of I. cylindrica will be considered in relation to their control by a single biological organism. The potential of fungal pathogens recovered from surveys in West Africa will be evaluated including Colletotrichum caudatum, Drechslera gigantea, Exserohilum rostratum, Glomerella cingulata and Puccinia rufipes. Malaysian isolates of C. caudatum have previously been tested as a biocontrol agent against the biotype there and isolates of D. gigantea and E. rostratum from USA were included in bioherbicide preparations against an USA biotype of I. cylindrica. Puccinia rufipes could potentially control this weed; as it is a biotroph, it is likely to act as a physiological sink to deplete the carbohydrate reserves stored in the rhizomes. It is the mobilisation of this stored carbohydrate which facilitates this weed’s competitive advantage to rapidly produce leaves following disturbance to the ecosystem, such as in slash and burn agriculture. This rust pathogen has also been observed, along with other biotrophs, in South Africa, where I. cylindrica is not considered a weed.

Challenges and lessons when using farmer knowledge in agricultural research and development projects in Africa, Van Asten, P., Kaaria, S., Fermont, A. and Delve, R. J., in: Experimental Agriculture, volume 45, number 1, pages 1-14, ISSN 0014-4797, 2009. [DOI]
 
Abstract:
Farmer participatory research (FPR) approaches are now considered mainstream and are especially applicable for developing appropriate technology options in complex, diverse and risk-prone regions, where local adaptations are crucial. Although the advantages of using farmer knowledge to guide scientific research are numerous and well documented, the challenges and potential pitfalls that befall biophysical researchers, in particular, when using FPR approaches have received much less attention, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Our experiences show that in certain cases, the methods used to collect farmer knowledge are flawed, leading to inaccurate or incomplete information being gathered. This potentially leads to the development and promotion of unsustainable, unprofitable or socially unacceptable technologies. This paper uses a series of examples to illustrate that discrepancies between farmer and researcher observations may occur because (i) farmers and scientists may not have sufficient insight into the systems complexity, (ii) farmers and scientists use different reference frameworks, and (iii) methodological errors may lead to farmers intentionally or unintentionally providing false or {\^a}??desired{\^a}?? information to achieve (short-term) benefits. This paper concludes by providing guidelines to improve the integration of farmer and scientific knowledge in order to develop appropriate technology options that are both environmentally sound and adaptable to local conditions

Efficiency of food production under old and new technology: the case of farmers within and outside the Extension Package Program in Ethiopia, Alene, A. and Hassan, R. M.*, in: Journal of Developing Areas, volume 41, number 2, pages 233-249, 2008.
 
Abstract:
This paper measures the technical, allocative, and economic efficiencies of farmers within and outside the Extension Package Program (EPP) in high and low potential agro-ecological zones in eastern Ethiopia. Within-group farmer efficiencies are analyzed relative to respective technologies to examine performance variation under traditional and improved technology. The results showed considerable efficiency variation not only among farmers outside EPP who mainly used traditional technologies, but also among farmers within the EPP who used improved technological packages. The results further showed that, in the high potential zone, farmers within the EPP used a superior technology, whereas both groups in the low potential zone used a homogenous technology, confirming the lack of appropriate technologies for less-favored agricultural areas. Education, credit, and the share of the leading cropping system are significantly related to production efficiency. The results suggest that an integrated credit, extension, and input supply system with appropriate technologies would raise food production efficiency.

Prospects for cassava breeding in sub-Saharan Africa in the next decade, Dixon, A. and Ssemakula, G., in: Journal of Food, Agriculture and Environment, volume 6, number 3&4, pages 132-138, ISSN 1459:0255, 2008.
 
Abstract:
Cassava is an appropriate commodity to feature in Africa's future economic development. As the crop rapidly changes from a basic foodstuff to a source of income and employment for rural populations, there is a parallel need to increase productivity, marketing opportunities and profitability. This calls for development and/or the introduction of technologies that will drive down costs of production, harvesting, processing and marketing to make cassava competitive with other raw materials and improve the quantity and quality of cassava products for diversified uses. The development and delivery/promotion of productivity-enhancing technologies and adding value will attract urban consumers and industries, create demand, stimulate increased production and provide more income for producers, processors and traders. This paper highlights prospects for cassava breeding in sub-Saharan Africa in the next decade with a view to meeting these challenges.
