- Workshop on Biological Control of maize pests in rural areas, with special reference to the Larger Grain Borer, Prostephanus truncatus, and the future development of the post-harvest sector in Sub-Saharan Africa.

 - Les activites post-recolte font partie d?un systeme qui comprend toutes les etapes et tous les acteurs agissant dans ce domaine, depuis la production jusqu?a la consommation. Par consequent, l?adoption d?une approche de systeme s?avere necessaire des lors qu?il s?agit d?analyser les contraintes et d?introduire des [...]

 - MB of anthropogenic origin is, however, estimated to cause between 5 and 10 % of total ozone depletion in the earth's stratosphere. Ozone depletion increases the level of UV-B radiation which has been linked to skin cancer, eye cataracts, and degradation of the immune system. [...]

 - Damage and losses caused by rodents are well documented. Diseases transmitted by rodents to man are often widespread, and in some cases still lead to epidemics. In post-harvest systems financial losses caused by rodent pests are particularly high, because crops have attained their highest value. [...]

 - The potato post-harvest chain is characterised by a diversified system of actors and operations (see figure 1). On-farm operations (harvesting, sorting) are generally done in a way that they meet the demand of the market. There are various marketing options of the individual farmer in [...]

 - No continent depends as much on root crops in feeding its population as does Africa. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) occupies an important position in Ghana's agricultural economy. Very little documentary evidence is available on the evaluation of current cassava post-harvest techniques and the magnitude of [...]
