Animal health and genetics—Issues and controversies for ILRI research by International Livestock Research Institute

“…6) In terms of forage crop improvement, we cannot really use the genetic information generated unless we have proper phenotyping at hand - this is lacking. We need to better match genetics with conventional phenotyping.7) An important role for ILRI concerns ethics: We need to generate evidence, communicate evidence effectively, facilitate its appropriate use. 8) Fertility management and sex-fixing of cattle (through mass insemination) has the potential in pastoral areas recovering from droughts to accelerate herd recovery rates. …”

Site-specific nutrient management for rice using soil properties to adjust phosphorus and potassium supply from compound NPK fertilizer by Girsang, Setia Sari, Castillo, Rowena L., Syam, Mahyuddin, Zaini, Zulkifli, Kartaatmadja, Sunendar, Suyamto, Dela Torre, Judith Carla, Pabuayon, Irish Lorraine B., Limpiada, Romalene A., Waluyo, Helmi, Samijan, Budiono, Rohmad, Hatta, Muhammad, Nurhayati, Kamandalu, Ngurah Bagus, Susanto, Bambang, Parhusip, Dorkas, Abidin, Zainal, Buresh, Roland J.

“…"Context or problem: Compound fertilizers containing nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) are often applied to rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Asia, but the fixed P:K ratio of these fertilizers can restrict the adjustment of P and K rates to match crop needs. …”

Approaches to reinforce crop productivity under rain-fed conditions in sub-humid environments in Sub-Saharan Africa by Chikowo, Regis, Zingore, Shamie, Nyamangara, Justice, Bekunda, Mateete A., Messina, Joseph, Snapp, Sieglinde S.

“…Firstly, an approach is described that varies nitrogen (N) fertilizer application across growing seasons, by adjusting N application rates to match current season rainfall trends. The approach offers opportunities for farmers to increase crop productivity to >6 t ha−1 in high agro-potential areas, compared to a ceiling of 4.5 t ha−1 for the fixed fertilization model, while minimizing economic losses due to investments in N fertilizer during drought years. …”
