Solid-seeded Soybeans in Eastern Oklahoma
Abstract
In September 1973 the Government of Cameroon started a national seed development and food production program with an initial creation of the Mission for the Development of Food Crops and Seed Production Around Metropolitan Areas (MIDEVIV). The responsibilities of this important organization have grown and specia~ized so that more emphasis was assigned to its seed development component by presidential decree in August 1984. Beginning in 1976 with the opening of the Seed Project (ProSem), the actual northern branch of MIDEVIV, special emphasis has been given to that area of Cameroon where the agricultural production presents problems inherent to soil erosion caused both by water and wind. As part of the governmental training program for agricultural scientists the MIDEVIV training opportunities cover various aspects involved in seed production and development. The MIDEVIV training plan includes management of seed agencies, seed production and field control, seed technology, soil and water management, machinery for seed production and processing, and extension programs. As part of this effort I was sent to Oklahoma State University for a degree in agronomy with emphasis in soil science.
