The yield gap: closing the gap by widening the approach
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/77120
Abstract
The yield gap has arisen again as a focus for agricultural research to ensure food security and economic growth for farmers around the world. To examine this renewed interest, we carried out a review of key literature in the field of yield gap analysis to identify important gaps in research and analysis. In so doing, both the complexities in yield gap studies…

Characterizing herbivore resistance mechanisms: spittlebugs on brachiaria spp. as an example
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/41624
Abstract
Plants can resist herbivore damage through three broad mechanisms: antixenosis, antibiosis and tolerance. Antixenosis is the degree to which the plant is avoided when the herbivore is able to select other plants. Antibiosis is the degree to which the plant affects the fitness of the herbivore feeding on it.Tolerance is the…
