Integrated crop management for cassava cultivation in Asia
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/90630
Abstract
The demand for cassava in Asia is expected to grow in the years to come, largely because of an increasing demand for animal feed, biofuels and multiple uses of starch. Increasing the quantity and quality of cassava products in response to growing demand requires careful and sustainable increases in cassava production. This chapter describes good agricultural…

Non-rice crops in rice-based farming systems in mainland Southeast Asia
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/73056
Abstract
In the five countries of Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA) that are the focus of this review, there is no questioning the importance of rice within the landscape, in the farming systems, in the diet, and even in cultural terms. Currently, an area of about 32 million ha is cultivated to rice each year (FAOSTAT, 2014), although with multiple rice…

Deep assessment of genomic diversity in cassava for herbicide tolerance and starch biosynthesis
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/78827
Abstract
Cassava is one of the most important food security crops in tropical countries, and a competitive resource for the starch, food, feed and ethanol industries. However, genomics research in this crop is much less developed compared to other economically important crops such as rice or maize. The International Center for…

Potential negative consequences of geoengineering on crop production: A study of Indian groundnut
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/77800
Abstract
Geoengineering has been proposed to stabilize global temperature, but its impacts on crop production and stability are not fully understood. A few case studies suggest that certain crops are likely to benefit from solar dimming geoengineering, yet we show that geoengineering is projected to have detrimental effects for…

Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a major staple crop in developing countries and a large source of raw material for industrial purposes as flour, starch, and ethanol. In July 2012, 24 cassava genotypes (corresponding to 1.85% of the accessions) with typical symptoms of frogskin disease (CFSD)…

Fungal endophytes in germinated seeds of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/70985
Abstract
We conducted a survey of fungal endophytes in 582 germinated seeds belonging to 11 Colombian cultivars of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The survey yielded 394 endophytic isolates belonging to 42 taxa, as identified by sequence analysis of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Aureobasidium pullulans was the…
