Ghana: 12 February, 3:00 to 4:30 pm
What are on-going research for development activities are already
AVCMP and RSSP (AGRA- DANIDA – AFD), CORAF-Influence of variety and soil fertility management on productivity and profitability-Cropping systems research on rice – soybean (rotation, strip cropping, inoculation) on resource use efficiency-Influence of new formulation (fertilizers) on productivity of rice based cropping systems-Participatory evaluation of maize, sorghum, cowpea and rice varieties
-ICRISAT:-Sorghum variety testing
N2 Africa-Putting nitrogen fixation work for small holder farmers in legume – cereal based cropping systems
AGRA – SHPMaize based cropping system
-IWMI/ ARI / WRI
-Assessing the potential of dry season farming and supplementary irrigation on rice and vegetable productionRainwater and soil conservation management specifically identifying and monitoring
CIDA – AFRICARICE – FRI - SARI Survey data on consumer preferences for rice-Survey qualitative and quantitative post harvest losses of rice-Evaluation of mini-combine harvester -Introduce and test improved parboiling equipment
-IFDC/AGRA/DANIDA-Farmer to market access (reduce transaction cost etc..)-Training and promoting aggregation of commodities-Facilitation of market access -On-going vegetable testing activities (fertilizer management – tomato and pepper)
SARI-Soybean – maize rotation for striga management -Evaluation of sorghum and soybean varieties for drought tolerance- Animal feeding strategies (e.g. pigeon pea, maize etc..) as livestock feed
-SANREM CRSP - Evaluation of integrated crop, soil and water management practices to enhance productivity of cereal-legume cropping systems. natural resource management-- Improved water harvesting, erosion and soil fertility techniques -Influence conservation agricultural practices (e.g. crop residue, tillage and nutrient practices) on cereal – legume based systems
INTSORMIL CRSP- Effects of tillage, nitrogen and cropping systems effect on sorghum yield, water and nutrient use- Evaluation of response of genotypes to tillage and nitrogen-Testing of Integrated nutrient management practices
PEANUT - CRSP-Management of weeds, leafspot (genotypes etc..)-Create awareness about aflatoxin problem-Varietal improvement
IPM CRSP- Testing of IPM techniques
IFDC-SARI-Influence of contour bunds on water conservation on enhanced maize productivity
IITA - Drought Tolerance Maize for Africa -Evaluating drought and striga tolerant and nitrogen use efficient maize varieties
-Purdue University -cowpea storage
CORAF-Improving seed systems
AVRDCVegetable production systems enhancement
Ghana UniversitiesKNUSTUDS
What is the key opportunity or enhancement that the project could support
SANREM CRSP- up scaling selected integrated soil, water and crop management practices for sustainable improvement of cereal – legume based cropping systems-up scaling of water, tillage and residue management systems in cereal – legume cropping system.
-INTSORMIL CRSP- Striga management in cereal – legume systems- Up-scaling improved integrated fertilizer management- Up-scaling of integrated water management practices-Evaluation of genotypes for drought tolerance and nitrogen response
Peanut - CRSP Training on aflatoxin and testing kits
N2 AFRICA-Increase legume productivity- Better agronomy of legume systems
-SARI -Institutional and human capacity; and analyses for plant and soil analysis capacity
AVCMP and RSSP (AGRA- DANIDA – AFD), CORAF-Up-scaling existing technologies of rice based cropping systems-Introduction of vegetable in cereal – legume based production systems
-IWMI/ ARI / WRI-Irrigation implements for small holder farmers -Fostering rainwater management integration -Processing and market linkages of soybeans-Farm equipment for small holding farmers
