Abstract
Water shortage is an important limiting abiotic factor in agriculture, and the problem is expected to increase with climate change causing more frequent and more severe droughts in many areas. Banana needs vast amounts of water for optimal production. In commercial Cavendish export production systems, irrigation is routinely used, which has reduced the sense of urgency to exploit genetic…

Simulating forage yields and soil organic carbon under Brachiaria hybrid cv. Cayman in Tanzania with the CROPGRO perennial forage model
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/118228
Abstract
Land and soil degradation in cropping systems in sub-Saharan Africa has been exacerbated by inappropriate use of landscapes and poor management practices that result into environmental and subsequential social damages. Biophysical models are key to inform management activities that can restore degraded soils and ultimately improve yields and soil organic…

Report on the construction of portable NIRS equation to estimate forage quality in Brachiaria decumbens-ruzisiensis-brizantha species complex
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115963
Abstract
The nutritive value of Brachiaria Hybrids is one of the most important parameters in the forages breeding program at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). It supports the selection and identification of promising genotypes. Using Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) we have been able to estimate protein contents (CP),…

Abstract
Around the world, a small number of plant species serve as the primary source of food for the human population, yet these crops are vulnerable to multiple stressors, such as diseases, nutrient deficiencies and unfavorable environmental conditions. Traditional breeding methods for plant improvement may be combined with next-…
