Replication Data for: Opportunities for sustainable intensification of coffee agro-ecosystems along an altitudinal gradient on Mt. Elgon, Uganda
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/93212
Abstract
During the months of April and May 2014, vegetation structure was measured on the 150 selected plots. The altitude and plot boundary coordinates were recorded using Garmin eTrex GPS. Plot size was calculated based on plot boundary coordinates in R Statistics (R Core Team, 2014) using the sp package (Pebesma and Bivand 2005). The number of coffee…

Cassava Diseases Evaluation - Edaphoclimatic Zone 4: Medium Altitude Tropics
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/102444
Abstract
CIAT systematically evaluates all germplasm accessions in diverse sites in Colombia, to obtain a broad characterization of adaptation to different soils and climates, resistance to many pests and diseases, and quality traits. The information is used primarily to select parents which can potentially contribute characters requested by national programs. Based on these evaluations, some generalized conclusions can be…

Replication data for: "Application of thermography for monitoring stomatal conductance of Coffea arabica under different shading systems"
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/93211
Abstract
The primary objective of the data collection was to analyse the relationship between leaf temperatures and stomatal conductance. Data were collected under both environmentally controlled (laboratory) conditions as well as field conditions. Major variables studied and produced include thermographic indices derived from temperature measurements…

Household Survey Data on Cost Benefit Analysis of Climate-Smart Soil Practices in Western Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/90414
Abstract
This household survey was conducted among 88 respondents by CIAT in three counties of western Kenya (Bungoma, Kakamega, and Siaya) in 2016. The main aim of the project was to conduct a cost benefit analysis of eight climate-smart soil (CSS) practices, as a step toward understanding whether they were beneficial or not both from a private and social point of view. This knowledge could then be…

Abstract
This data was collected in seven west African countries namely Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Benin, Gambia and Senegal. In 2012, the Danish government funded seven projects in west Africa to help small scale farmers adapt to the negative effects of climate change. These projects were implemented by West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research…

Abstract
Beef cattle have high market demand in Vietnam and the Dak Lak local government encourages the development of beef value chains. Household surveys were carried out in Cu Jut and Ea Kar districts and farming systems and production specialization were found to differ in each district. Ea Kar farmers were more specialized in livestock production while Cu Jut farmers were more…

Replication Data for: Characterization of common bean germplasm for resistance to terminal drought
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/96252
Abstract
Traits related with drought resistance in common beans. A set of 16 bean genotypes belonging to the Middle American gene pool were evaluated under field conditions with two levels of water supply (irrigated and drought) over two seasons. Lines SEN 56, BFS 29, NCB 226 and SER 16 showed high grain yield in both irrigated and terminal drought conditions, while RCB 593 and G 40001 showed high…

Replication Data for: Climate change adaptation of coffee production in space and time
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/99234
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’ livelihoods. The objectives of this paper are (i) to quantify…

Abstract
Current advances in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics revealed the genomic background of rice, a staple food for the poor people, and provided the basis to develop large genomic variation databases for thousands of cultivars. Proper analysis of this massive resource is expected to give novel insights into the structure, function, and evolution of the rice…

Universal Soil Loss Equation
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/78466
Abstract
The rainfall erosivity (R) and soil erodibility (K) factors of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) were determined on two sites in the Colombian Cauca Department over a five year period when rainfall was mostly lower than average. The results showed that the high erosion potential of the soils can be attributed more to high rain erosivity than soil erodibility. The R factor explained between 59 and 81% of the variation in soil loss recorded on continuously…
