Arachis pintoi: Potential for risk reduction/productivity increase in livestock systems of the Colombian Orinoquía region
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/111080
Abstract
In parts of the foothills of the Colombian Orinoquía region, bovine livestock production takes place on poorly drained soils. The region is dominated by extensive grazing systems with Brachiaira humidicola cv. Humidicola. This grass has shown high adaptation potential under temporal waterlogging…

High-Andean oat (Altoandina) as alternative for Colombia’s high-altitude dairy systems: an economic analysis
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/111084
Abstract
In the Colombian high-altitude tropics (2200-3000 m.a.s.l.), Kikuyu grass (Cenchrus clandestinus) is the main feed source for the dairy system. This grass species has good characteristics regarding adaptability and productivity, but is affected by frost, grass bugs (Collaria sp.) and precipitation-related…

Abstract
When examining the growth factors of the Latin American economies, it is observed that the promotion of rurality through agricultural production appears as a necessary condition. This is essential, not only because of its direct effects on food supply or job creation, but also because of its contribution to economic growth, its…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/76255
Abstract
To meet rising demand for rice, it is estimated that the global rice production needs to increase by 116 million tons by 2035. Much of the increase has to come from smallholder rice farmers in developing countries. In this article, we review 25 evaluation studies on new rice technologies and practices that have been tried and used by smallholder rice…

Comparison of rice lines derived through anther culture and the pedigree method in relation to blast (Pyricularia grisea Sacc.) resistance
International Rice Research (IRRI)
Abstract
Crosses were made between Fanny (highly susceptible to blast) and 11 cultivars differing in blast resistance. Using the pedigree method (PM) segregating generations were evaluated and selected for blast resistance. Via anther culture (AC), doubled-haploids were obtained from F1 plants and from F2 blast-susceptible plants. Pedigree and anther culture-…

Assessing high-impact spots of climate change: spatial yield simulations with Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) model
International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)
Abstract
Drybeans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are an important subsistence crop in Central America. Future climate change may threaten drybean production and jeopardize smallholder farmersâ?? food security. We estimated yield changes in drybeans due to changing climate in these countries using downscaled data from global circulation models…
