https://hdl.handle.net/10568/55964
Abstract
Results of research work carried out in Africa on the response of beans to NPK fertilizers, liming, S and other secondary/micronutrients, and organic manures are reviewed. Band or spot placement of P, fertilizer management in multiple crop systems, and correlations between soil data, yields, and plant response are also discussed. The frequent response to the…

Association genetics of bunch weight and its component traits in East African highland banana (Musa spp. AAA group)
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
Abstract
Bunch weight increase is one of the major objectives of banana improvement programs, but little is known about the loci controlling bunch weight and its component traits. Here we report for the first time some genomic loci associated with bunch weight and its component traits in banana as revealed through a genome-wide association study. A banana-breeding…

Emergence of robust precipitation changes across crop production areas in the 21st century
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/100496
Abstract
A warming climate will affect regional precipitation and hence food supply. However, only a few regions around the world are currently undergoing precipitation changes that can be attributed to climate change. Knowing when such changes are projected to emerge outside natural variability—the time of emergence (TOE)—is critical…
