After a long career in agricultural research in the UK and then in Africa, Richard Gibson ‘retired'and got an allotment. In his work, he had found that African smallholders often rejected varieties bred for them on research stations – and that pa

Viruses limit sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) production worldwide. Many sweetpotato landraces in East Africa are, however, largely virus-free. Moreover, some plants infected by the prevalent Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) may be able to re

Sweetpotato is usually propagated in Uganda by vine cuttings from mature crops, but sometimes sprouts from storage roots are used, especially in drought-prone areas. No information is available on whether the storage of roots of Ugandan cultivars are

The absence of formal institutions regulating water resources indicated a need to examine how informal governance works in semi-arid areas of the Lake Zone of Tanzania. Ostrom’s theory of common property resources was adapted to develop a questionn

It is shown for the first time how participatory variety demonstration (PVD) trials can establish modern varieties in informal seed systems in a developing country by targeting nodal multipliers occupying hub locations. A series of relatively few, sm

Seed systems are critical for deployment of improved varieties but also can serve as major conduits for the spread of seedborne pathogens. As in many other epidemic systems, epidemic risk in seed systems often depends on the structure of networks of

Sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) and Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (SPCSV) are the most common viruses infecting sweetpotato in Uganda. Field plots planted with graft inoculated plants of virus-free cultivars Beauregard, Dimbuka, Ejumu

Seed systems are critical for deployment of improved varieties, and serve as major conduits for the spread of seed-borne pathogens. Vegetatively propagated crops in low-income countries are particularly vulnerable to seed degeneration, where yield is

Sweet potato varieties are distributed in Uganda by three systems: formal, project-based and informal. In a partial formal system, the National Sweetpotato Program (NSP) breeds and tests both orange (O)- and white (W)-fleshed sweet potato (FSP) varie

Ugandan farmers preferred vine cuttings from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L) Lam.) plants maintained during the dry season in a swamp or by irrigation as planting material rather than cuttings from volunteer plants growing from unharvested roots. T
