Effect of Rainfall and Temperature Variability on Maize Yield in the Asante Akim North District, Ghana

How they used Delve

Researchers at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology used Delve to thematically analyze focus group discussions with maize farmers in Ghana's Asante Akim North District, alongside statistical analysis of rainfall and temperature trends against maize yield.

“Concerning the FGDs, they were thematically analyzed with the Delve software where emerging themes were identified and pertinent quotes from participants were used to emphasize the discussions.”
