  • Effects of insecticides and cultivars on panicle-feeding insect pest infestations and grain yield of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in northern Ghana

    • Authors: Nboyine, Jerry A.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Opare-Obuobi, Kenneth; Yahaya, Iddrisu; Badii, Benjamin K.; Kusi, Francis; Yahaya, Asieku; Adazebra, Gloria (2021)

  • There were significant insecticide treatments × cultivars/genotypes interaction effects for Stenodiplosis sorghicola, Clavigralla tomentosicollis, Nezara viridula, Dysdercus fasciantus and Riptortus dentipes. Generally, pest infestations were higher in the untreated control compared to K-Optimal- or NSO-treated sorghum. Infestations were also higher in compact-headed cultivars (Dorado and Kapaala) compared to those with open heads (CSSOR 08-V01 and CSSOR 10-V07). Damage was approximately 1.7-fold higher in the untreated controls than in NSO or K-Optimal. Grain yields were about 14% higher in NSO or K-Optimal treated sorghum than in controls. Gross margins were between 16- and 35-fold ...

  • Remote Sensing-Based Proxies for Urban Disaster Risk Management and Resilience: A Review

    • Authors: Ghaffarian, S.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Kerle, N.; Filatova, T. (2018)

  • There was a 42% stunting prevalence. Prevalence of continued breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding were 92% and 50%, respectively. Most children (62%) fell into the low dietary diversity score group. The nutrient intake from complementary foods was below recommendations. The odds of stunting were higher in children >12 mo of age (odds ratio [OR], 1.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08–1.29). Exclusive breastfeeding (OR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.10–0.48) and deworming tablet use in the previous 6 mo (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07–0.80) decreased significantly the odds of stunting in children. Also, the body mass index of the caretaker (β = 0.08 kg/m2; 95% CI, 0.00–0.17) and dietary zinc intake (...
