Assessing the welfare of smallholder pigs in Vietnam using a pilot protocol por Sinh Dang-Xuan, Le Thi Thanh Huyen, Tu-Quynh Ha, Do Van Duc, Le Tien Dung, Han Anh Tuan, Unger, Fred, Doyle, Rebecca, Toribio, J.-A.

“…This pilot proved that the welfare assessment protocol is feasible and provided lessons for its future use in other low-to-middle income countries. It also found that low-cost interventions are urgently needed to address water access and undernutrition in order to improve the welfare of smallholder pigs and the production of these farms.…”

Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers' fields in northern Nigeria por Ronner, E., Franke, A.C., Vanlauwe, Bernard, Dianda, M., Edeh, E., Ukem, B., Bala, A., Heerwaarden, Joost van, Giller, Kenneth E.

“…Moreover, although the yield response to P and I was similar, I was more profitable due to its low cost. Only 16% of the variability in control yields could be explained by plant establishment, days to first weeding, percentage sand and soil exchangeable magnesium. …”

Mapping direct seeded rice in Raichur district of Karnataka, India por Gumma, Murali K., Uppala, D., Mohammed, I.A., Whitbread, Anthony M., Mohammed, I.R.

“…The results clearly demonstrated the usefulness of multiple-sensor imagery from MOD09Q1, Landsat-8, and RISAT-1 in mapping the rice area and practices accurately, routinely, and consistently. The low cost of imagery backed by ground survey, as demonstrated in this paper, can also be used across rice growing countries to identify different rice systems.…”

Total value of phosphorus recovery por Mayer, B.K., Baker, L.A., Boyer, T.H., Drechsel, Pay, Gifford, M., Hanjra, Munir A.

“…While this motivation is increasingly being recognized, little P recovery is practiced today, as recovered P generally cannot compete with the relatively low cost of mined P. Therefore, P is often captured to prevent its release into the environment without beneficial recovery and reuse. …”
