Growing food crops in dryland conditions

Recently published in The Tropical Agriculturalist series, this manual by John Ashley explains the effect of drought on crops and the mechanisms of drought tolerance in food crops such as sorghum, maize, cowpea, and cassava. It also explores genetic improvements and farming practices that can increase productivity in the semiarid tropics, thereby suggesting future strategies and priorities for research.
