Managing tropical forages field genebanks at CIAT
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/69830
Abstract
Two main reasons are identified for maintaining permanent field collections of tropical forages: (1) the inability to produce reliably sufficient and viable seed, and (2) outcrossing or highly heterozygous species where particular genotypes or populations should be conserved. The history, origin and management of tropical forage field collections maintained at CIAT are…

Soil macrofauna in agricultural landscapes dominated by the Quesungual Slash-and-Mulch agroforestry system, western Honduras
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/44111
Abstract
Smallholder agroforestry systems often incorporate features that are associated with abundant, diverse soil macrofauna populations. This study sampled soil macrofauna communities across four major land uses present within agricultural landscapes where the Quesungual Slash-and-Mulch Agroforestry System (QSMAS) has been increasingly adopted by smallholder farmers in…

Abstract
Evaluation of natural Stylosanthes germplasm leading to the release of 8 commercial cultivars began in South America in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Perceived deficiencies in existing germplasm, including anthracnose susceptibility, led to the initiation of Stylosanthes breeding projects as early as 1979…

Eco-Efficiency: from vision to reality
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/54656
Abstract
The notion of eco-efficiency – first put forward by the private-sector at the time of the 1992 Earth Summit – has since been taken up by experts in agriculture as a guiding principle for research. Eco-efficient agriculture, according to a CIAT report, is competitive and profitable as well as sustainable and resilient, thus generating multiple benefits for the poor, especially when…
