Variance component estimations and mega‐environments for sweetpotato breeding in West Africa.
The current study was aimed at identifying mega‐environments in Ghana and evaluating adaptability of superior sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] genotypes from a targeted breeding effort. Three sets of genotypes were evaluated in multi‐environment trials (MET). Twelve sweetpotato varieties were evaluated across nine environments representing t...
A Planetary Health Perspective on Agroforestry in Sub-Saharan Africa
...
Human activities change the structure and function of the environment with cascading impacts on human health, a concept known as “planetary health.” Agroforestry—the management of trees with crops and livestock—alters microclimates, hydrology, biogeochemistry, and biodiversity. Besides the nutritional benefits of increased fruit consumption, howeve...

Analysis of phenotypic stability in 25 cowpea genotypes across six environments
Twenty-five cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L) genotypes were evaluated across six contrasting environments for phenotypic yield stability. Combined analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes and the main effects. A1B×D, BC×M, L1B×M, A1B×M, and BA×I were the best performing and stable genotypes. The non-parametric analysis ...
The interrelation of environmental and social factors and man’s mental health
The authors focus on the issues of the influence of socio-environmental factors on human health in the article. A number of socio-environmental issues are considered in the context of sustainable psychological development. The issues of demography and socio-hygienic monitoring are also touched upon. The ways of further development of scientific res...
