Assessing the importance of livestock water use in basins
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/82700
Abstract
Recent concern over food prices has triggered a renewed interest in agricultural production systems. While attention is focused mainly on cropping, a complete analysis of food production systems should recognise the importance of livestock as major consumers of resources – in particular water – and as providers of food and other products and services. We propose…

Exploring barriers to the agroecological transition in Nicaragua: A Technological Innovation Systems Approach
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/101294
Abstract
Latin America has historically been a vanguard of agroecology. In Nicaragua, an agroecological transition is occurring, with three decades of building a groundswell based on the farmer-to-farmer movement and the recent institutionalization of agroecology in national law. Yet, problems remain with agroecology’s…

Fruit set and plant regeneration in cassava following interspecific pollination with castor bean
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/105509
Abstract
The increasing demand for cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) for food and non-food uses in the tropics necessitates that its breeding for increased root productivity be made faster. The characteristic long breeding cycle and heterozygous nature of this crop, pose a major obstacle to its rapid genetic improvement. This…

An innovation perspective to climate change adaptation in coffee systems
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/101330
Abstract
Climate change is expected to have strong implications for smallholder coffee farmers and implementing adaptation measures would lessen their vulnerabilities. Adaptation measures have been identified in literature, but how these can be implemented remains unclear. Current certification programmes have the potential to provide guidance on how…

Root-zone hypoxia reduces growth of the tropical forage grass Urochloa humidicola in high-nutrient but not low-nutrient conditions
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/106600
Abstract
Abstract
Background and Aims
The perennial C4 grass Urochloa humidicola is widely planted on infertile acidic and waterlogging-prone soils of tropical America. Waterlogging results in soil anoxia, and O2 deficiency can reduce nutrient uptake by roots. Interestingly, both nutrient…

Salinity tolerance in chickpea is associated with the ability to ‘exclude’ Na from leaf mesophyll cells
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/105719
Abstract
Salinity tolerance is associated with Na ‘exclusion’ from, or ‘tissue tolerance’ in, leaves. We investigated whether two contrasting chickpea genotypes, salt-tolerant Genesis836 and salt-sensitive Rupali, differ in leaf tissue tolerance to NaCl. We used X-ray microanalysis to evaluate cellular Na, Cl, and K…
