Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Modeling of Temperature Extremes Behaviour in GhanaTwumasi-Ankrah Sampson, Nyantakyi Agyei KwadwoThis paper focuses on modeling the extreme maximum temperature in Ghana using the extreme value theory. This is to inform decision-makers to help them plan appropriate risk mitigating measures to reduce the damage caused by drought. The block maxima with Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) and the General Pareto (GP) (with “all excesses” and decluster peaks) were used on 113 years … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2019 · 7,121 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyzing Food Security through Flood Recession Farming: A Case Study of the Upper East Region, GhanaJohn Aloba Atubiga, Alobit Baba AtubigaSustainable Development Goals one and two aim at reducing poverty and eradicating hunger by the year 2030. However, the realization of these goals, especially among subsistent farmers in Africa, is marred by the occurrence of climatic events such as floods and drought which have retarded crop production in the sub-region. This means that there is a need to explore other … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 5 Dec 2022 · 5,653 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Seasonal Temperature on the Genotypic Variability of Flowering Duration in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) in NigerSani Daouda Ousmane, Mouhamadou Mounkaila Boureima, Maman Nassourou Lawali et al.Heat stress is a major contributor to crop losses worldwide. Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a staple crop for inhabitants of arid and semi-arid regions of the world, due to its extraordinary adaptation to drought and high temperatures. Climate change points to an overall increase in temperature, the effect of which on crop growth and productivity remains to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Nov 2022 · 6,127 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants.
