Climate change adaptation of coffee production in space and time
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/77563
Abstract
Coffee is grown in more than 60 tropical countries on over 11 million ha by an estimated 25 million farmers, most of whom are smallholders. Several regional studies demonstrate the climate sensitivity of coffee (Coffea arabica) and the likely impact of climate change on coffee suitability, yield, increased pest and disease pressure and farmers’…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/68334
Abstract
Concentrations and identity of ions in the soil solution may affect soil phosphorus (P) reactions and P availability. In this study, the magnitude of these reactions was evaluated following the application of Minjingu phosphate rock (MPR) combined with chloride and carbonate salts of Na and Ca within an incubation experiment…

Effects of weather variability on crop abandonment
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/66593
Abstract
In Zambia, every year some parts of the maize fields are abandoned post-planting. Reasons for this are not clearly known. In this paper, we examine the influence of soil and climatic factors on crop abandonment using a six-year (2007–2012) panel data by modeling the planted-to-harvested ratio (a good indicator of crop abandonment) using a fractional and linear approach…

Influence of soil fertility on waterlogging tolerance of two Brachiaria grasses
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/67161
Abstract
As a consequence of global warming, rainfall is expected to increase in several regions around the world. This, together with poor soil drainage, will result in waterlogged soil conditions. <em>Brachiaria</em> grasses are widely sown in the tropics and, these grasses confront seasonal waterlogged conditions. Several studies have…
