Adaptability and Stability of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Accessions under Diverse Environments and Herbicide Treatments by Abou-Khater, Lynn, Maalouf, Fouad, Jighly, Abdul-Qader, Rubiales, Diego, Agrawal, Shiv Kumar

“…Significant Genotype x environment (GE) interaction was found for the days to flowering (DFLR), plant height (PLHT) and grain yield (GY). Performance and stability of the accessions regarding PLHT and GY were assessed using four different stability parameters: cultivar superiority, static stability, Wricke’s eco-valence and Finlay and Wilkinson’s regression model. …”

Results from rapid-cycle recurrent genomic selection in spring bread wheat by Dreisigacker, Susanne, Pérez Rodriguez, Paulino, Crespo-Herrera, Leonardo A., Bentley, Alison R., Crossa, José

“…RCRGS was also associated with some changes in important agronomic traits that were measured (days to heading, days to maturity, and plant height) but not selected for. To account for these changes, we recommend implementing GS together with multi-trait prediction models.…”

Datasets from fertilized improved and local varieties of cassava grown in the highlands of South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo by Munyahali, W., Birindwa, D.R., Pypers, P., Swennen, R., Vanlauwe, B., Merckx, R.

“…The data complement the recently published paper “Increased cassava growth and yields through improved variety use and fertilizer application in the highlands of South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo” (Munyahali et al., 2023) [1]. Data on plant height and diameter were collected throughout the growing period of the crop while the data on the storage root, stem, tradable storage root, non-tradable storage root and harvest index were determined at 12 months after planting (MAP). …”

Associations of maternal resources with care behaviours differ by resource and behaviour by Basnet, Sulochana, Frongillo, Edward A., Nguyen, Phuong Hong, Moore, Spencer, Arabi, Mandana

The role of agriculture in reducing child undernutrition in Nigeria by Amare, Mulubrhan, Balana, Bedru, Ogunniyi, Adebayo

“…The results show that agricultural productivity growth has a positive effect on child nutritional outcomes, measured by child height-for-age and weight-for-age. The main channel through which agricultural productivity growth affects child nutritional outcomes is by increasing food production for own household consumption. …”

Addressing a neglected problem: Community-based management of acute malnutrition by Hodge, Judith, White, Jessica

“…SEVERE ACUTE MALNUTRITION (SAM)—extremely low weight for one’s height—is a life-threatening condition affecting mostly children under five years of age. …”

Africa’s progress toward meeting current nutrition targets by Haddad, Lawrence James, Ag Bendech, Mohamed, Bhatia, Komal, Eriksen, Kamilla, Jallow, Isatou, Ledlie, Natasha

“…Improved nutrition in Africa means many more children will live past the age of five, their growth will be less disrupted, and they will gain in height and weight. Their cognitive abilities will develop more fully, allowing them to learn more both in and outside of school. …”

Land reform and child health in the Kyrgyz Republic by Kosec, Katrina, Shemyakina, Olga N.

“…We find that young children aged 0-5 exposed to land privatization for longer periods of time accumulated significantly greater gains in height and weight, both critical measures of long-term health and nutrition. …”

Modern input promotion in sub-Saharan Africa: Insights from Asian green revolution by Rashid, Shahidur, Dorosh, Paul A., Malek, Mehrab, Lemma, Solomon

“…Results suggest that Asian policies differ from the current wave of African input subsidy programs in three important ways: (i) instead of focusing mostly on seed and chemical fertilizer, input promotion in Asia involved a package approach involving investments in agricultural R&D, irrigation, promotion of domestic fertilizer, and investments in rural roads; (ii) farmers in three of four countries paid higher prices (net taxed) for fertilizer during the height of the green revolution, suggesting that it was the profitability, not the subsidy, that was central to increasing fertilizer use; and (iii) Asian countries did not target input subsidies, but given leakage and diversion estimates of targeted programs, it is unclear whether targeting would have been more cost‐effective. …”

Stunted child - overweight mother pairs: an emerging policy concern? by Garrett, James L., Ruel, Marie T.

“…Stunting was defined as height-for-age < - 2 SD of the reference population and maternal overweight as a body mass index (BMI) of > 25 kg/m 2 . …”

Dietary diversity is associated with child nutritional status: evidence from 11 demographic and health surveys by Arimond, Mary, Ruel, Marie T.

“…We used data from 11 recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) to examine the association between dietary diversity and height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ) for children 6–23 mo old, while controlling for household wealth/welfare and several other potentially confounding factors. …”

A step forward in breeding for ratooning ability in rice by Henry, Amelia

“…Some existing varieties have been identified to have good ratooning ability (although this 16 often depends on multiple factors such as soil moisture and stubble cutting height). Some QTLs 17 related to ratooning have been identified (eg Hu et al., 2022), but very little breeding work 18 (crossing and selecting) has been conducted for ratooning ability and currently no rice variety 19 has been released specifically for its ratooning ability. …”
