Abstract:

Adequate maternal nutrition prior to pregnancy is important for maternal health and favourable pregnancy outcomes. However, information on the dietary intakes of NonPregnant, Non-Lactating (NPNL) women in Ghana is lacking. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken to compare the dietary intakes of NPNL women of children aged 2 to 5 years who are either living in the Coastal (n=79) or Guinea Savannah (n=89) zones. Data were collected using various methods namely interviewer administered socio-demographic questionnaire, 24hr dietary recall records, with data collected on one working and one non-wo

Abstract:

The Ghana Meteorological Agency delineated Ghana’s geographical space into four agro-climatic zones namely the north, transition, forest and coastal zones. Since the demarcation in the 1960s, previous studies have rarely provided a more dis-aggregated agro-climatic zone map in tandem with contemporary climate change and variability. The continued use of this age-old classified zones is a disservice to the public. In this study, therefore, we evaluated the existing agro-climatic zone map of Ghana and reconstructed it to a more appropriate and dis-aggregated map that reflect current climate chan

Five CuO treatments, 0, 1, 3, 6 and 9 kg/ha, were applied to maize in 1988–90, and grain yield was consistently and significantly increased by the 1 kg/ha CuO treatment. Five S treatments, 0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 kg/ha, were applied to maize in 1989–90, and all treatments increased grain yield significantly in 1989, but only the 10 kg/ha S treatment increased grain yield significant

Seed provenance is an important component determining seed quality in forest restorations. Collection of seeds from diseased-free agro-ecological zones for reforestation programs in Ghana is key. To contribute to knowledge, a research was conducted to assess the effect of provenance on seed-borne mycoflora prevalence, germination and initial seedling disease incidence of Khaya Senegalensis seeds in three agro-ecological zones of Ghana. Four seed-borne fungi in three genera namely Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Colletotrichum sp. and Penicillium sp. were isolated from Khaya Senegalensis seeds co

Abstract:

Understanding the genetic diversity of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) landraces is useful for effective characterization and ex-situ conservation of germplasm. The analysis of genetic diversity of eighteen cowpea landraces collected from five agro-ecological zones in Nigeria was reported in this study. Five individuals per landrace were genotyped with six polymorphic microsatellite markers. Three to 5 alleles with a mean of 3.833 were detected. Mean Polymorphic information content (PIC) and observed heterozygosity of the markers were 0.5721 and 0.2433, respectively. Analysis of Molecular

Abstract:

Indigenous guinea fowl is an important animal resource for improving rural household income. In order to provide molecular data for a sustainable management of this poultry resource, an assessment of the genetic diversity and phylogenic relationships was undertaken on seven guinea fowl phenotypes from two agroecological zones (Dry Savannah and Atakora) of Togo. Genotyping was carried out using 18 microsatellite markers on 94 individuals from Dry Savannah (59) and Atakora (35) zones. The results obtained showed a high genetic diversity, with six as an average alleles per locus and an observed h
