Potential of Herbicide-Resistant Rice Technologies for Sub-Saharan Africa

Weed-inflicted yield losses in rice equate to half the current rice imports in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and African rice farmers have a limited range of effective and affordable weed management technologies.

Trial Site Comparison (Homologue)

This tool shows the location of CGIAR variety trial sites on Google Maps, and overlays a layer indicating the climatic similarity (in terms of rainfall and temperature regimes) over space from the user-selected trial site.

Crop Production: SPAM

Dragging and dropping the red marker (Droppr) to any location in SSA provides information on:
• Country name
• District name
• Average cropping intensity (SPAM)
• Crop name (SPAM)

NASA-Power Daily Time Series

Drag and drop the Droppr on any location in SSA to return historical monthly averages on rainfall, max and min temperatures.

Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD)

The Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD), jointly developed by FAO, IISAS, ISSCAS, and JRC, is a mapping unit-based soil property database.

CRU Monthly Climate Time Series (1901-2002)

Allows users to view and download monthly climate data over the period 1950-2000 for any user-selected location.

Regional Groupings

Many of HarvestChoice's spatial analyses are done using raster datasets at various spatial resolutions (e.g., 1 km, 10 km, or 50 km grids).

WorldClim Mean Monthly Climate (1950-2000 averages)

Allows users to review, graph and download data on average climatic conditions for monthly rainfall, min and max temperatures. Both current and future climates are plotted.

DREAM (Dynamic Research Evaluation for Management 3.1)

DREAM is a partial equilibrium, single commodity, multi-region, economic surplus model for assessing the potential economic benefits of technology diffusion and adoption (including technology spillover).
