Cratylia argentea – review of a tropical shrub legume: Biology and agronomy
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173726
Abstract
A comprehensive review, based on about 170 references, synthesizing research and development about Cratylia argentea, is presented to contribute to expand interest in its diffusion and use in animal production systems. The species has been widely evaluated, mainly in tropical America, with the objective to develop a shrub legume as an alternative to the fertile soils requiring Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia…

Cassava breeding and cultivation challenges in Thailand: Past, present, and future perspectives
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173721
Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) was introduced to Southeast Asia in the 16th–17th centuries and has since flourished as an industrial crop. Since the 1980s, Thailand has emerged as the leading producer and exporter of cassava products. This growth coincided with the initiation of cassava breeding programs in collaboration with the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), focusing…

Characterization of phenotypic traits associated with anthracnose resistance in selected common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) breeding material
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173746
Abstract
Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the major common bean disease worldwide causing complete yield loss under favourable disease conditions. This study aimed to determine phenotypic traits associated with anthracnose resistance for future use in breeding programmes. Twenty-two common bean varieties (CBVs) were selected basing on…

Fungicide evaluation against head smudge (Curvularia spp.) and its impact on yield and germination of tef (Eragrostis tef Zucc.)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173717
Abstract
Head smudge, caused by Curvularia spp., is the major disease of tef in the humid tef-growing areas of Ethiopia. Despite this, farmers continue producing tef without any disease management strategies, which is leading to substantial quantitative and qualitative losses. Hence, the field and laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the efficacy of seven…

Predictive assessment of climate change impact on water yield in the Meta River Basin, Colombia: An InVEST model application
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173754
Abstract
This paper presents a hydrological assessment of the 113,981 km2 Meta River basin in Colombia using 13 global climate models to predict water yield for 2050 under two CMIP6 scenarios, SSP 4.5 and SSP 8.5. Despite mixed performance across subbasins, the model was notably effective in the upper Meta River subbasin. This study predicts an overall increase in the basin’s…
