Trends in research using plant genetic resources from germplasm collections: from 1996 to 2006
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/35569
Abstract
This paper examines how the use of genebank materials has changed from 1996 to 2006 using a similar survey by Dudnik et al. (2001) of reports published in 1996 as a baseline. Articles published in four journals generally used by genetic resource scientists were analyzed in each 2006 issue, as was done by Dudnik et al. in 2001…

Broadening the perspective of zero-deforestation interventions in Peru by incorporating concepts from the global value chain literature
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116120
Abstract
Global narratives around the links between deforestation and agricultural commodity production have led to the application of voluntary zero-deforestation agreements between companies, governments, and civil society. The continued tropical deforestation warrants a re-examination of this approach in order to customize its application for a particular…

Evaluation of DSSAT-MANIHOT-Cassava model to determine potential irrigation benefits for cassava in Jamaica
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116143
Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important food crop, especially in developing countries, because of its resilience and ability to grow in conditions generally inhospitable for other crops. However, tropical crops like cassava are not as frequently modeled compared with crops from temperate locations. The objective of this research was to calibrate the CSM-MANIHOT-Cassava…

Inter-microbial competition for N and plant NO3− uptake rather than BNI determines soil net nitrification under intensively managed Brachiaria humidicola
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116148
Abstract
Brachiaria humidicola (syn. Urochloa humidicola) has been acknowledged to control soil nitrification through release of nitrification inhibitors (NI), a phenomenon conceptualized as biological nitrification inhibition (BNI). Liming and N fertilization as features of agricultural intensification may suppress BNI performance, due to a…

Toward a feminist agroecology
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116247
Abstract
Agroecology is gaining ground as a movement, science, and set of practices designed to advance a food systems transformation which subverts the patterns of farmer exploitation currently entrenched in dominant agricultural models. In order for agroecology to achieve its espoused twin aims of social and ecological wellbeing, women and other historically marginalized stakeholders must be empowered and centered as the movement’s protagonists. The importance of…

Are tree seed systems for forest landscape restoration fit for purpose? An analysis of four Asian countries
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116441
Abstract
High-quality, suitably adapted tree seed at volume is a key component for the implementation and long-term success of forest landscape restoration (FLR). We analysed the tree seed systems in four Asian countries—the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and India—which have committed to restore in total over 47.5 million hectares of degraded lands by 2030. We assessed the national seed…

Estimating yield components, limiting factors, and yield gaps of Enset in Ethiopia using easily measurable above-ground plant traits
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116468
Abstract
The quantification of yield for different enset products has mainly been based on farmers’ estimates, which are often inaccurate. Several allometric models have been developed to overcome this challenge. Building on past work, the current study developed allometric models for enset fiber, kocho, and bula yield estimation. Enset yield limiting factors and…

Abstract
Social cohesion plays a key role in processes of peacebuilding and sustainable development. Fostering social cohesion might present a potential to enhance the connection of natural resource management and peacebuilding and better functioning of sustainable land use systems. This contribution explores the nexus between social cohesion,…

Spent pleurotus ostreatus substrate has potential for managing Fusarium Wilt of Banana
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116504
Abstract
A range of basidiomycetes including the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus (Po) can suppress plant pathogens such as Fusarium spp. With the current increase in production and
consumption of Po in Uganda, the spent Po substrate (SPoS) could be an alternative to manage Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by the soil borne pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, race 1 (Foc). This study determined…

Contribution of biofertiliser (Frateuria auranta) in an integrated potassium management package on growth of apple banana
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116635
Abstract
Bananas demand high amounts of potassium for optimal growth and productivity, yet deficiencies are widespread amid the low input production strategy of smallholder farmers in Uganda. Of the potassium pool in the soil, 90% - 98% is unavailable for plant uptake. Judicious application of fertilisers is required to alleviate soil fertility problems complemented with manures…
