Supporting Formal and Informal Seed Systems for African Leafy Vegetables

Fresh weight and leaf area measurements were taken of 12 varieties of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) and nightshade (Solanum spp.) each after field plots were harvested. Plants were arranged in a randomized complete block design with two replicates. Six of the twelve varieties of each species were formal seed while the others were purchased through informal networks.
