The Journal of Underutilised Crops Research, an open-access scholarly journal published by AOSIS, is a peer-reviewed online journal that aims to publish high-quality articles promoting research on indigenous, neglected, and underutilised crops. It will cover topics that aim to improve and expand knowledge on aspects related to:

  • crop production
  • genetics and breeding
  • pre- and postharvest management
  • integrated pest management
  • value chains and socio-cultural dynamics
  • resource protection and indigenous knowledge systems
  • food security, and sustainability (social, environmental, and economic).

  • Impact of soil moisture stress on growth and physiological traits of tepary bean genotypes 4th April 2025
    Background: In South Africa, tepary bean is cultivated by smallholder growers, mainly in the Sekhukhune District (Limpopo province), which is prone to drought. Currently, there are no significant breeding efforts aimed at cultivar selection and crop development, and the crop remains underutilised despite its potential value.Aim: To evaluate diverse tepary bean collections using physiological and growth attributes.Setting: Agricultural […]

  • Spider plant (Cleome gynandra) breeding priorities and preferences among landraces in Zimbabwe 18th October 2024
    Background: Participatory approaches such as participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and participatory variety selection (PVS) methods empower farmers to play a greater role in the decision-making process and in shaping the future improvement of crops. However, few studies have established breeding priorities and assessed variety preferences for spider plant, a nutrient-rich and medicinal crop mainly grown as […]

  • Bambara groundnut landraces response and tolerance to drought stress: A meta-analysis 20th August 2024
    Background: Drought stress severely limits agricultural productivity. Bambara groundnut, an underutilised legume, shows promise for its resilience to harsh environments, particularly drought. Drought duration and manipulation type have been used to evaluate the response of Bambara groundnut to drought stress. Although studies have explored the effects of drought duration and manipulation on Bambara groundnut, an understanding […]

  • Phenotypic plasticity of okra for yield and associated traits 8th April 2024
    Background: The genetic improvement of okra for the agro-ecological conditions requires adequate genetic background for understanding the inheritance of the traits and genetic control.Aim: To evaluate collection of okra accessions for their phenotypic plasticity and their relationships among tested accession.Setting: Field trail laid in a randomised complete block design of three replication.Methods: A total of 24 okra accessions were […]
