Nutrient sources and their application in cassava cultivation
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/90957
Abstract
This chapter discusses various sources of nutrients to be applied to prevent soil nutrient depletion, as well as the optimum rates, times and methods of their application. It also describes how computer models can predict site-specific nutrient requirements and balanced fertilizer rates to maximize nutrient use efficiency, increase farmers’ profits and…

How Have Markets Affected the Governance of Agrobiodiversity?
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/99386
Abstract
This book chapter is focused on the role of markets (especially those of agricultural products) as a form of agrobiodiversity governance. The expansion of these global agricultural product markets during the past two decades has generally furthered the simplification of agricultural and food systems, reducing the diversity within crop and animal species.…

Access to Early Generation Seed: Obstacles for Delivery of Climate-Smart Varieties
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/98416
Abstract
Changing climates in eastern and southern Africa will require farmers to adjust which crop varieties they grow in order to adapt to changing patterns of weather, pests and diseases. Delivering more suitable, climate-smart crop varieties requires well-functioning seed systems in which actors work in harmony across the supply chain.…

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/89191
Abstract
Cassava is a key food security staple and a competitive feedstock for multiple industrial processes and end uses. Farmers grow hybrids which are reproduced vegetatively. Several programs have used the same breeding scheme for the last 40 years. Significant progress has been made, particularly with the first improved varieties released in the 1980s and 1990s. However, gains slowed down…

Abstract
The most important constraints for bean production in Peru are lack of breeding programs, inadequate management practices, lack of integrated pest management, and low production of improved seed. Therefore, the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones y Promocion Agraria Grain Legume Program has proposed developing low cost technology, improving on-farm…

Abstract
In coastal Ancash, Peru, on-farm studies were conducted on fertilization (0-0-0 and 40-60-0 kg/ha NPK), density (90,000 and 120,000 plants/ha), and weed control (2 and 3 manual weedings, resp.) to determine their effect on yields of beans in monoculture. Significant differences among treatments were found as well as a relationship between…
