Phenotyping of a M. maximus founder population for breeding purposes for its BNI potential, biomass production, forage quality and nitrous oxide emissions
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/100867
Abstract
Modern agricultural systems in the tropics are characterized by low resource use efficiency, low productivity and demand large extensions of land. To tackle this scenario, improved pastures have enormous potential to contribute towards a sustainable livestock model…

Gross nitrogen transformation rates do not support previously described BNI capacities of selected Brachiaria genotypes
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/103641
Abstract
Nitrification is one of the key processes leading to water contamination and greenhouse gas emissions (N2O) in pasture systems. As vast areas of tropical pastures are nitrogen (N) limited, grasses from the Brachiaria genus have adapted to reduce N losses and increase N use efficiency by releasing…

Identification of Urochloa humidicola hybrids with waterlogging tolerance and Biological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI) capability
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/100870
Abstract
Soil waterlogging (flooding of the soil) is a major limitation to pasture productivity due to the slow diffusion of gases in water that reduces plant growth, as O2 availability in the root zone decreases (Cardoso et al., 2014).
Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) is a process where…

Determining ideal sites for a pilot experiment in Colombia to trial new forages in East Africa
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/100869
Abstract
The livelihood of approximately 37 million people of the East African (EA) region is highly dependent on livestock. As the pressure for livestock products heightens with growing populations, already harsh environmental conditions are predicted only to worsen (Fisher et al. 2005; Thornton et al. 2007). In Cali, Colombia, the…

Abstract
Intra-household surveys permit us to recognize the individual preferences and perceptions of different household members. They also allow us to analyze gender gaps,
bargaining power and empowerment. However, having multiple responses complicates household level analysis such as estimating agricultural yields and adoption rates. This infographic presents…

International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/98258
Abstract
Among Plant Genetic Resources for Agriculture, landraces are excellent genetic materials for developing new varieties. Due to their genetic diversity, these populations have maintained potentially useful alleles for increasing valuable traits in crops. A diet mostly relying on pulses as source of proteins could not guarantee a proper intake…
