Geographic distribution of Colombian spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) via ecological niche modeling: a prediction for the main tropical forages’ pest in the Neotropics
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116101
Abstract
Spittlebug complex (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) includes the main tropical pests in Central and South America in cultivated pastures. We aimed to estimate the potential distribution of Aeneolamia varia, A. lepidior, A. reducta, Prosapia simulans, Zulia carbonaria, and Z. pubescens throughout the Neotropics using ecological…

NYMPHSTAR: an accurate high-throughput quantitative method for whitefly (Aleurotrachelus socialis Bondar) resistance phenotyping in cassava
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/127998
Abstract
Whitefly (Aleurotrachelus socialis Bondar) is an important pest causing high economic losses in cassava production systems in the north of South America. It reduces the plant’s photosynthesis by colonizing the cassava leaves and either directly feeding on their phloem sap or excreting substances that allow the growth of sooty mold and the consequent…

Understanding the complexity of disease-climate interactions for rice bacterial panicle blight under tropical conditions
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/117965
Abstract
Bacterial panicle blight (BPB) caused by Burkholderia glumae is one of the main concerns for rice production in the Americas since bacterial infection can interfere with the grain-filling process and under severe conditions can result in high sterility. B. glumae has been detected in several rice-growing areas of Colombia and other countries of Central and Andean regions…

Strengthening banana seed systems among smallholder farmers in Bugiri District, Uganda
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181998
Abstract
Farmer-managed banana seed systems support biodiversity but risk spreading pests and diseases. As demand for high-quality disease-free seed grows, formal seed systems with strict standards offer a solution. However, guidance on how to effectively integrate these systems and key actors remains limited, hindering sustainable banana production. The study investigates interactions between formal and farmer-…

Enteric methane mitigation strategies for ruminant livestock systems in the Latin America and Caribbean region: A meta-analysis
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/114504
Abstract
Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) is a developing region characterized for its importance for global food security, producing 23 and 11% of the global beef and milk production, respectively. The region’s ruminant livestock sector however, is under scrutiny on environmental grounds due to its large contribution to enteric methane (CH4) emissions and influence on…

Canopy cover evolution, diurnal patterns and leaf area index relationships in a Mchare and Cavendish banana cultivar under different soil moisture regimes
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119202
Abstract
The biggest abiotic threat to banana (Musa spp.) production is water deficit, but physiological indicators in plantations are lacking. Canopy Cover (CC) seems to be a relevant parameter, but so far not used in banana fields. Field experiments were conducted to determine the effect of optimal irrigation (FI) versus rainfed (RF) on CC and…

Restoring soil health from long-term intensive Robusta coffee cultivation in Vietnam: “A review”
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/175123
Abstract
Robusta coffee, a vital cash crop for Vietnamese smallholders, significantly contributes to the national economy. Vietnam is the largest exporter of Robusta coffee, supplying 53% of the global market. However, this success has come at a cost. Decades of intensive Robusta coffee cultivation in Vietnam have led to severe soil acidification and biodiversity loss, favoring soil-borne pathogens.…

Trait–environment interactions influence tree planting success in Peruvian tropical dry forests
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/176728
Abstract
Tropical dry forests (TDFs) are among the most endangered ecosystems globally, despite their critical socio‐ecological importance. In recent decades, tree planting initiatives have been widely implemented to restore these forests, yielding mixed results. To enhance restoration effectiveness, it is imperative to adopt a predictive approach, focusing on the drivers of seedling performance and how…

Germplasm variability-assisted near infrared reflectance spectroscopy chemometrics to develop multi-trait robust prediction models in rice
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130484
Abstract
Rice is a major staple food across the world in which wide variations in nutrient composition are reported. Rice improvement programs need germplasm accessions with extreme values for any nutritional trait. Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) uses electromagnetic radiations in the NIR region to rapidly measure the biochemical composition of…
