"The 2010 RUFORUM Biennial Conference was the second in the series. The main objective of the Biennial conferences is to provide a platform for agricultural research for development stakeholders in Africa and beyond to actively exchange findings and experiences, while at the same time learning lessons towards improving performance of the agricultural sector and ultimately people’s livelihoods. The biennial conference is RUFORUM’s most comprehensive meeting for the diversity of stakeholers in agriculture. It is especially dedicated to graduate students and their supervisors, grantees in RUFORUM member universities and alumni. It is a platform for peer review, quality control, mentorship, networking and shared learning. This record contains an extended abstract accepted under the theme of agronomy".
Influence of temperature on yield of carrots
Abstract:
This study evaluated the influence of temperature on yield and
retinol content of two carrot cultivars. Both cultivars yielded
higher at lower (10 °C) than higher temperature (18 °C), but
retinol content was higher at 18 °C.
Cette étude a évalué l’influence de la température sur le
rendement et la teneur en rétinol de deux cultivars de carotte.
Les deux cultivars ont rapporté plus à la température inférieure
(10°C) qu’à la température supérieure (18°C), mais le contenu
de rétinol était plus élevé à 18 °C.
