Ecogeography and utility to plant breeding of the crop wild relatives of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/68377
Abstract
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are a rich source of genetic diversity for crop improvement. Combining ecogeographic and phylogenetic techniques can inform both conservation and breeding. Geographic occurrence, bioclimatic, and biophysical data were used to predict species distributions, range overlap and niche occupancy…

Analysis of quality control in the informal seed sector: case of smallholder bean farmers in Bondo Sub-County, Kenya
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/76558
Abstract
Common bean is the most widely grown and consumed grain legume in Kenya. However, its contribution to nutrition and income has not been fully felt by smallholder farmers in western Kenya due to low yields. Good quality seed, if used with complementary practices can increase bean productivity. This study…

Abstract
The usefulness of a continental digital soil map (AfSoilGrids250) was investigated at two levels relevant for agricultural fertiliser recommendations in Rwanda (point locations and administrative sector unit averages). Analysis of 900 soil samples for pH and soil organic carbon (SOC) revealed that fine spatial…

Scope and Strategies for Regulation of Nitrification in Agricultural Systems?Challenges and Opportunities
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)
Abstract
Nitrification, a microbial process, is a key component and integral part of the nitrogen (N) cycle. Soil N is in a constant state of flux, moving and changing chemical forms. During nitrification, a relatively immobile N-form (NH4+) is converted into highly mobile nitrate-N (NO3-). The nitrate formed is susceptible to losses via leaching and…
