Analysis of forest-related policies for supporting ecosystem services-based forest management in Bangladesh por Ahammad, R., Stacey, N., Sunderland, T.C.H.

“…Given this, we recommend that the current policies should consider ecosystem services-based management goals and decision-making in order to maximise the local benefits of forests and trees in the contexts of diverse social-ecological systems. Different specific forest- and tree-based ecosystem services should be clearly identified in the current forestry and other natural resource management policies in order to enhance the synergy between forests and competing land management practices.…”

Effect of combining organic manure and inorganic fertilisers on maize–bush bean intercropping por Ndengu, Gift, Mponela, Powell, Tamene, Lulseged D., Chataika, Barthlomew, Chirwa, Rowland, Sileshi, Gudeta G.

“…An on-farm trial managed by smallholder community members was conducted to assess the influence of various soil fertility management options and cropping systems on the yield of two bush bean genotypes (SER45 and SER83) in two agro-ecological zones of Malawi. The farmer-managed trials were laid out in split-plot design, with the bean genotypes as main plots and a combination of the soil fertility management options (i.e., no input, manure, fertiliser and fertiliser + manure) and cropping systems (i.e., sole crop and intercrop) as subplots. …”

Silvopastoral systems for offsetting livestock emissions in the tropics: A case study of a dairy farm in Costa Rica por Brook, R., Forster, E., Styles, David, Mazzetto, A.M., Arndt, Claudia, Esquivel, J.M., Chadwick, David R.

“…Despite the rapid expansion of cattle farming in the tropics, notably in Latin America, there is little robust evidence on the extent to which trees are able to mitigate the effects of cattle farming in this ecological zone. This article describes a case study conducted on a large, specialised dairy farm in Costa Rica, where two-thirds of the field boundaries are live tree fences. …”

Genotypic Variation for Low Striga Germination Stimulation in Sorghum “Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench” Landraces from Eritrea por Yohannes, Tadesse, Ngugi, Kahiu, Ariga, Emanuel, Abraha, Tesfamichael, Yao, Nasser, Asami, Pauline, Ahonsi, Monday

“…But besides drought stress, the obligate root-parasitic flowering plant Striga hermonthica is an equally economically important biotic stress in agro-ecological zones where soils are marginal. Notwithstanding widespread and intense Striga infestation, genetic variations in defence mechanisms against the parasite have been reported. …”

Assessment of yield stability of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) using genotype and genotype-environment interaction biplot analysis por Linus, R.A., Olanrewaju, O.S., Oyatomi, O., Idehen, E.O., Abberton, M.

“…The accessions that were chosen have been suggested as suitable parental lines for breeding programs aimed at enhancing grain yield in the agro-ecological zones that were evaluated. This study’s findings identify BGN accessions with adaptability and stability across selected environments in Nigeria, suggesting specific accessions that can serve as suitable parental lines in breeding programs to enhance grain yield, thereby holding promise for improving food security.…”
