Is poverty or wealth driving HIV transmission? by Gillespie, Stuart, Kadiyala, Suneetha, Greener, Robert

“…At a later stage, however, it has been argued that individuals with higher socioeconomic status tend to adopt safer sexual practices, once the effects of AIDS-related morbidity and mortality become more apparent, adding greater credibility to HIV prevention messages.…”

Climate analogues: Finding tomorrow’s agriculture today by Ramírez Villegas, Julián Armando, Lau, Charlotte, Köhler, Ann-Kristin, Jarvis, Andy, Arnell, N.P., Osborne, Tom M., Hooker, Josh

“…Users may use default criteria or choose from a variety of global climate models (GCMs), scenarios, and input data. Once analogue sites are identified, information gathered from local field studies or databases can be used and compared to provide data for further studies, propose high-potential adaptation pathways, facilitate farmer-to-farmer exchange of knowledge, validate computational models, test new technologies and/or techniques, or enable us to learn from history. …”

Performance of different herbicides in dry-seeded rice in Bangladesh by Ahmed, Sharif, Chauhan, Bhagirath Singh

“…Compared with the partial weedy plots (hand weeded once), oxadiargyl followed by ethoxysulfuron (4.13 t ha−1) provided a 62% higher yield in the boro season while oxadiargyl followed by a one-time hand weeding (4.08 t ha−1) provided a 37% higher yield in the aman season.…”

The double tragedy of irrigation systems in Tamil Nadu, India: assessment of the replacement of traditional systems by private wells by Kajisa, Kei

“…Our statistical analyses find that, once the tanks deteriorate, the rice yield of farmers who have no access to wells and thus rely solely on traditional irrigation systems will decrease, whereas those of farmers with well access will not be affected. …”

Mastitis treatment in Karnataka: Results from a qualitative scoping survey by Hiremath, Arpita, Hoffmann, Vivian, Rao, Manaswini, Shenoy, Ashish

“…Farmers in India typically treat animals for mastitis only once clinical signs appear, using broad-spectrum antibiotics that may accelerate development of resistant pathogens (Chauhan et al. 2018; Mutua et al., 2020). …”

Inclusive agricultural insurance for sustainable wheat intensification as a pathway to smallholder resilience in Ethiopia by Ebrahim, Mohammed

“…The model will combine remote sensing, geospatial, and ground-truth agronomic data through machine learning and simulation to enable accurate yield prediction and premium estimation. Once calibrated, it will function with minimal inputs like NDVI, weather data, and location ensuring cost-effective, scalable, and timely payouts. …”

The sustainability of rangeland to cropland nutrient transfer in semi-arid West Africa: ecological and social dimensions neglected in the debate by Turner, M.

“…However, these analyses have ignored the large influence of village-level agronomic and livestock management on the parameters used in such calculations. Once the temporal and spatial aspects of rangeland-cropland nutrient transfer are considered, it is shown that the dynamic sustainability of the process is determined, not simply by rangeland/cropland ratios and livestock stocking rates, but by differences in grazing and manure management at the village and household levels. …”

Herbage yield and quality of Gliricidia sepium under different cutting heights and defoliation frequencies by Tarawali, G., Iji, P.A., Chionuma, P.C., Obot, U.

“…Accession HYB yielded more dry matter than three other accessions harvested once. Cutting to 0.7 m yielded more leaves than cutting at lower heights. …”

Relative palatability and seasonal agronomic performance of selected pasture legumes for species mixtures in dry-subhumid West Africa by Peters, Michael, Tarawali, Shirley A., Schultze-Kraft, Rainer

“…A positive relationship was established between the ability to retain green leaves in the dry season and palatability. Once established, the two C. brasilianum accessions out-performed the other legumes in their ability to stay green and retain leaves in the dry season; related to the ability to retain green leaves under drought conditions, C. brasilianum ILRI 155 was among the most palatable legumes in the dry season. …”

Acceptability of forage legumes for improved fallows - first experiences of agro-pastoralists in subhumid southwest Nigeria by Muhr, L., Tarawali, Shirley A., Peters, Michael, Schultze-Kraft, Rainer

“…With cropping and dry-season feeding strategies increasingly being limited by land availability, the agronomic performance of some of the tested legume species, in particular Stylosanthes guianensis, promised substantial productivity gains once they could be integrated into the traditional fallow system. …”

Contribution of permafrost soils to the global carbon budget by Schaphoff, S., Heyder, U., Ostberg, S., Gerten, D., Heinke, J., Lucht, W.

“…We find that vegetation responds more rapidly to warming of the permafrost zone than soil carbon pools due to long time lags in permafrost thawing, and that the initial simulated net uptake of carbon may continue for some decades of warming. However, once the turning point is reached, if carbon release exceeds uptake, carbon is lost irreversibly from the system and cannot be compensated for by increasing vegetation carbon input. …”

Climatic Change and Groundwater: India?s Opportunities for Mitigation and Adaptation by Shah, Tushaar

“…For India, groundwater has become at once critical and threatened. Climatic change will act as a force-multiplier; it will enhance the criticality of groundwater for drought-proofing agriculture and simultaneously multiply the threat to the resource. …”

Evidence of differences in trypanosusceptibility in East African Zebu cattle by Rowlands, G.J., Mulatu, W., D'Ieteren, G.D.M., Nagda, S.M.

“…In other words, cows with abilities to maintain PCVs at higher levels than others appeared to pass on this same characteristic to their calves, particularly once calves approached two years of age. The co-heritability between the PCV of a dam and the PCV of her two year old offspring measured simultaneously over a 6-month period was 0.43 + 0.16 when corrected for frequencies of parasitaemia and treatment. …”

Factors affecting farmer demand and pour-on treatments in Ethiopia by Wangila, J., Swallow, B.M., Tesfamichael, N., Okello, O., Kruska, Russell L.

“…Since December 1992, farmers have paid 3 Ethiopian Birr (US$0.50) for each pour-on treatment offered once a month at 9 supply centres. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and econometrics were used to identify and quantify effects of different economic, demographic and spatial factors on farmer demand for the pour-ons. …”
