RIEPT Trials - Ecosystems E: Semievergreen Seasonal Tropical Forests
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/77675
Abstract
In 1978, CIAT"s Tropical Pastures Program, with the cooperation of national research institutions active in pastures research, took the initiative of forming the RIEPT (Red Internacional de Evaluación de Pastos Tropicales - i.e . lnternational Tropical Pastures Evaluation Network). Its central objectives were defined as, To contribute to the search for new pasture germplasm for the different production ecosystems…

Strategies for improving phosphorus acquisition efficiency of crop plants
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/44136
Abstract
In many low input agricultural systems, phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting mineral nutrients for plant production. Although applying P fertilizer, if available, is the most performing practice, this should be accompanied by other measures. The use of genetically enhanced plants with improved P acquisition efficiency may represent a…

Abstract
The extent and structure of the genetic variability of traditional varieties of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) have been little documented, despite considerable evidence for this crop's great varietal diversity in traditional agroecosystems. We used microsatellite markers to assess…

Germplasm Collection Gaps and Species Richness of Wild Relatives of Important Root, Tuber and Banana Crops.
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/77653
Abstract
The wild relatives of crops represent a major source of valuable traits for crop improvement. These resources are threatened by habitat destruction, land use changes, and other factors, requiring their urgent collection and long-term availability for research and breeding from ex situ collections. We propose a method to identify gaps in ex situ collections (i.e. gap analysis) of crop…

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted in the neotropical savannas of Carimagua, Colombia to test the hypothesis that Brahman females subjected to sustained grazing undernutrition as heifers can attain high reproductive performance as mature cows if allowed to make compensatory gains. In Experiment 1, weaned heifers were subjected to…

Abstract
In order to identify the principal constraints and trends for common bean production and commercialization and the priorities for future common bean research in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), a priority setting process was developed at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). The results suggested that the principal…
