Multi-Trait selection indices for identifying new cassava varieties adapted to the Caribbean Region of Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/114959
Abstract
In Colombia, the highest cassava production comes from the semi-arid region of the Atlantic Coast with relatively low yield for fresh consumption (≤11 t/ha). Development of improved varieties is based on a plant ideotype which integrates a group of desirable traits independently measured in the field. However, selecting high performance genotypes for several traits simultaneously…

Testing of commercial inoculants to enhance P uptake and grain yield of promiscuous soybean in Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/114998
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the potential of commercial mycorrhizal inoculants and a rhizobial inoculant to improve soybean yield in Kenya. A promiscuous soybean variety was grown in a greenhouse pot study with two representative soils amended with either water-soluble mineral P or rock P to assess product performance. The performance of selected mycorrhizal inoculants combined with…

The impact of diversified farming practices on terrestrial biodiversity outcomes and agricultural yield worldwide: A systematic review protocol
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/114983
Abstract
The expansion and intensification of agriculture have led to global declines in biodiversity. This paper presents a systematic review protocol to clarify under what management and landscape contexts diversified farming practices are effective at improving outcomes for terrestrial biodiversity, and potential trade-offs or synergies with agricultural…

A critical review of the current global ex situ conservation system for plant agrobiodiversity. I. History of the development of the global system in the context of the political/legal framework and its major conservation components
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115014
Abstract
The history of ex situ conservation is relatively short, not more than a century old. During the middle of last century, triggered by the realization that genetic erosion was threatening the existing landraces and wild relatives of the major food crops, global…

Distribution and ecology of wild lettuces Lactuca serriola L. and Lactuca virosa L. in central Chile
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115120
Abstract
Wild lettuces (Lactuca L.) may provide valuable genetic resources for crop breeding, but are also significant invasive weeds. Monitoring populations of these species is important, therefore, both to inform genetic resource conservation efforts as well as for non-native plant species control. We explored the occurrences, distributions, and characteristics of populations of wild Lactuca…

Negligible levels of mycotoxin contamination in durum wheat and groundnuts from non-intensive rainfed production systems
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115196
Abstract
Mycotoxins are chemical contaminants that are invisible, tasteless, chemically stable and survive food processing. Contamination along the agri-food chain is difficult to control since their production and spreading are due to numerous factors including temperature, relative humidity, insect infestation, and susceptibility of the host plant. This is a pilot study which…

Payments for the conservation of animal genetic resources in agriculture
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115241
Abstract
Financial incentives for the conservation of local breeds are intended to make breeding and keeping more economical. Fixed payments per livestock unit (LU) are common. A study from Slovenia was pub-lished in March in the journal “Animals”, 2021, 11, which examined how state subsidies for the conser-vation of animal genetic resources affect population numbers and how farmers react.
