Inheritance of resistance to Acanthoscelides obtectus in a wild common bean accession crossed to commercial bean cultivars
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/42984
Abstract
The bean weevil Acanthoscelides obtectus, is an important storage pest of common beans in Latin America and Africa. A few wild bean accessions from Mexico have been identified as highly resistant to the weevil. One accession, G 12952, was crossed to two susceptible bean cultivars differing in seed…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43399
Abstract
Six adult African-type hair sheep (BW = 40.3 +/- 6.3 kg) fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas were subjected to four treatments. Sheep were offered basal diets at a rate of 80 g of DM/kg of metabolic BW (equivalent to ad libitum access) consisting either of a low-…

Fine root dynamics of shaded cacao plantations in Costa Rica
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43461
Abstract
Root turnover may contribute a significant proportion of recycled nutrients in agroforestry systems and competition between trees and crops for nutrients and water may depend on temporal fine root regrowth patterns. Fine root biomass (? 2 mm) and fine root productivity were measured during one year in plantations of cacao (Theobroma cacao) shaded by Erythrina…

Simulating phosphorus responses in annual crops using APSIM : Model evaluation on contrasting soil types
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/44099
Abstract
Crop simulation models have been used successfully to evaluate many systems and the impact of change on these systems, e.g. for climatic risk and the use of alternative management options, including the use of nitrogen fertilisers. However, for low input systems in tropical and subtropical regions where organic inputs rather than fertilisers are the predominant nutrient management option…

Effects of size of ingestively masticated fragments of plant tissues on kinetics of digestion of NDF
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43401
Abstract
Ingestively masticated fragments were collected and sized via sieving. Different sizes of esophageal masticate and ruminal digesta fragments, and ground fragments of larger masticated pieces were incubated in vitro, and undigested NDF remaining at intervals of up to 168 h of incubation was determined. The ruminal age-…
