The multiple benefits of crop diversity
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/129661
Abstract
One of the effective strategies for smallholder farmers to adapt to climate change is to diversify their production, e.g., through adding better adapted crops and/or crop varieties to their current basket of crop and variety choices. In this video, produced under the umbrella of the Integrated Seed Sector Africa Theme 3 on Agrobiodiversity, Seeds and Climate Change, farmers from Zimbabwe and researchers from Ghana, Kenya and Zambia, explain the…

Collaboration agreement for the development of new tropical pasture hybrids
Feed is the among the highest cost in livestock production across the tropics. Possibly the highest cost factor of all, contributing 50 to 70% of production cost. Forages are one of the most cost-efficient pathways to increase production efficiency of livestock production in the tropics. Moreso, improved forages have critical effects on efficient use of…

Climate variability indices for ecological and crop models in R: the climatrends package
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130416
Abstract
Abiotic factors play an important role in most ecological and crop systems that depend on
certain levels of temperature, light and precipitation to initiate important physiological events
(Schulze et al., 2019). Understanding how these factors drive the physiological processes is
a key approach to provide recommendations for adaptation and biodiversity conservation in
applied ecology studies. The…

Organising Tree Seed Supply for National Forest and Landscape Restoration Targets: Experiences from Asia
South and Southeast Asian countries have set targets to restore tens of millions of hectares of degraded forests and landscapes during the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration by 2030. Achieving these targets requires billions of tree seed and seedlings, but seed sources for native species are widely lacking after decades of forest…

Xanthomonas wilt of banana
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/128837
Abstract
Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) is a major banana disease affecting small-holder farms in East and Central Africa. While BXW management practices have been introduced across extensive regions, achieving high levels of disease control and/or eradication has proven difficult. Resurgence of BXW in managed sites and the transmission to new regions are ongoing problems. In this chapter we present an overview of the disease epidemiology followed by the state-of-the-art of BXW…
