Some research conducted at Maseno University in Western Kenya and ICCAE-GSAS, Nagoya University since 2006 has shown good relationship between NERICA productivity and response to mild soil moisture stress and Nitrogen fertilization. Results from these experiments will be presented as one of the strategies of doubling rice production in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2018.  (Courtesy of Selim Guvener(casipphotos) (Background Photograph)) |
