Singa, D. D.; Tumbo, S. D.; Mahoo, H. F.; Rwehumbiza, F. B. R.; Lowole, M. W. (2013)

Crop production in semi-arid Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is limited by over-reliance on rainfall, which is erratic and inadequate. Rainwater conservation and irrigation are needed to avert drought effects and dry spells, and ...
Maize cultivar specific parameters for decision support system for agrotechnology transfer system (DSSAT) application in Tanzania

Mourice, S. K.; Rweyemamu, C. L.; Tumbo, S. D.; Amuri, N. (2013)

In order to develop basis for tactical or strategic decision making towards agricultural productivity improvement in Tanzania, a new approach in which crop models could be used is required. Since most crop models have ...
Enhancing response farming for strategic and tactical management of risks of seasonal rainfall variability

Admassu, H.; Mahoo, H. F.; Rwehumbiza, F. B. R.; Tumbo, S. D.; Mogaka, H. (2014)

Seasonal rainfall variability, particularly the uncertainty with respect to the direction and extent that variability will assume in a given season, forms the greatest source of risk to crop production in semi-arid areas ...
Accuracy of Giovanni and Marksim software packages for generating daily rainfall data in selected bimodal climatic areas in Tanzania

Kahimba, F. C.; Tumbo, S. D.; Mpeta, E.; Yonah, I. B.; Timiza, W.; Mbungu, W. (Tanzania Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014)

Agricultural adaptation to climate change requires accurate, unbiased, and reliable climate data. Availability of observed climatic data is limited because of inadequate weather stations. Rainfall simulation models are ...
