Ecophysiology and Nutrition of Cocoa
Cocoa trees are directly impacted by immediate environment on how the crop perform during each stage of its development. Cocoa is susceptible to... -
Crop ecological aspects and modelling of cocoa production
Using a mix of experimental and 3D modelling approaches the project aims at understanding pruning effect on cocoa tree functioning and production. -
How do maize plants respond to agronomic management practices?
The improvement of crop breeding and agronomic practices play important roles in alleviating food shortages by increasing maize yield. However,... -
Cocoa-climate-forest Interactions
Climate change is expected to impact negatively on cocoa production. However, eco-physiological response of cocoa tree, effects of elevated... -
How pyrethrum can both attract and deter insects
Pyrethrum Tanacetum cinerariifolium and some other species in the genus Tanacetum are perennial species that produce pyrethrins that are used as... -
3D modelling of plant species coexistence under light competition
A key question in understanding the structure of a natural vegetation is how plants of different heights within the canopy can co-exist. -
