The present data is from a long-term trial set at Msekera Research Station in Zambia to monitor and evaluate the the longer term effects of conservation agriculture practices on soil quality, soil water dynamics, weeds, pests/diseases and crop yield. The treatments set to investigate this are: T1: Control plot 1 (CPM1); traditional farmers practice...

This trial is designed with 1 conventional farmers practice and 4 conservation agriculture (CA) treatments in 5 replications; Plots are subdivided into a continues maize area and a maize/legume (sunnhemp) rotation to investigate the effect of CA practices on soil quality and system productivity. The trial was set in the growing season of 2005 and is still...

This data set is from a long-term (2010-2016) trial set in sandy soils. The study seeks to monitor and evaluate the effects over time of conservation agriculture (CA) practices on crop yield, soil quality, weeds, pests and diseases. The trial was set as a randomised complete block design with the following treatments: T1: Check plot (CP); traditional...

The purpose of the study was (1) to assess the economic viability of custom-hire service for ZT in CSISA's target districts in Bihar, the development of ZT service provision businesses over time, and constraints to further business expansion; (2) to assess service providers’ resource endowment, risk exposure, risk preferences, and risk management...

The purpose of the study was (1) to assess the performance of ZT wheat as compared to conventional-tillage wheat in farmers' fields in six CSISA target districts in Bihar; (2) to assess farmers’ resource endowment, risk exposure, risk preferences, and risk management practices; (3) based on (2), to identify influencing factors of farmers' awareness and...

This study contains spring wheat yield data (1st, 2nd, and 3rd WYCYTs and 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th SATYNs) from 136 international environments that were used to evaluate the predictive ability of different models in diverse environments by modeling G×E using the pedigree-derived additive relationship matrix (A matrix).

The objective of this work set is to demonstrate the best options currently available for the management of conservation agriculture (CA) practices in different communities in Mozambique. Eleven communities were selected from the districts of Sofala, Tete and Manica (approximately 100 to 200 families in each community) to host these demonstration sites...

The present data is based on on-farm demonstration sites set in Malawi to demonstrate the best options available at the moment for the management of drought-tolerant maize varieties and conservation agriculture practices in Balaka, Machinga and Zomba communities. Crop yields in southern Africa are generally low compared to the world average and the...

On-farm demonstration plots were set in Zambia to demonstrate the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) technologies as compared to the traditional farmers practice (ploughing with a mouldboard plough). The CA treatments included basins (BA), ripping (RI) and direct seeding with a direct seeder (DS) and direct seeding with a jab planter (JP). Also...

This repository contains the data and scripts used in the study titled "Crop diversification in conservation agriculture is critical for climate adaptation"

BIO-R is a set of R programs that do biodiversity analysis of molecular data, in order to calculate heterozygosity, diversity among and within groups, shannon index, number of effective allele, percent of polymorphic loci, Rogers distance, Nei distance, cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling 2D plot and 3D plot. You can included external groups for...

The Semi-Arid Wheat Screening Nursery (SAWSN) is a single replicate trial that contains diverse spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) germplasm adapted to low rainfall, drought prone, semi-arid environments typically receiving less than 500 mm of water available during the cropping cycle. CIMMYT' s breeding approach attempts to combine high yield...

International Durum Yield Nurseries are replicated yield trials designed to measure the yield potential and adaptation of superior CIMMYT-bred spring durum wheat germplasm that have been developed from tests conducted under irrigation and induced stressed cropping conditions in northwest Mexico. These materials have been subjected to numerous diseases...
