SNP panels for the estimation of dairy breed proportion and parentage assignment in African crossbred dairy cattle
Publicado 2021“…Understanding the relationship between genetic admixture and phenotypic performance is crucial for the optimization of crossbreeding programs. The use of small sets of informative ancestry markers can be a cost-effective option for the estimation of breed composition and for parentage assignment in situations where pedigree recording is difficult. …”

Occurrence and postharvest strategies to help mitigate aflatoxins and fumonisins in maize and their co-exposure to consumers in Mexico and Central America
Publicado 2022“…We discuss common post-harvest practices, and recommended practices to reduce mycotoxin contamination, including optimum grain drying (to decrease moisture content below 14%); grain sorting (with the potential to reduce AFs and FBs levels by 40–95%); use of grain conditioning agents, grain quality-management, and hermetic storage technologies and optimization of storage conditions. The effects of grain processing, including baking, roasting, popping, and nixtamalization on reducing AFs and FBs (15–80% for AFs, 17–100% for FBs) are also reviewed. …”

Cost analysis: methods, tools and gender-integration guidelines
Publicado 2025“…By identifying key cost drivers and variations across interventions, they enable the design of programs that optimize resource. Cost analyses are crucial for: • resource allocation: cost analyses support informed decision-making for efficient resource distribution, ensuring the highest return on investment (ROI) • project prioritization: by evaluating the costs and benefits of various projects, teams can prioritize those that deliver the most value • operational optimization: cost analyses help identify opportunities for improvement, enabling teams to streamline operations, reduce costs and enhance efficiency. …”

Genotype and environmental interactions in Maize (Zea mays L.) across regions of India: implications for hybrid testing locations in South Asia
Publicado 2025“…Further, identifying discriminative and representative locations for hybrid evaluation ensures efficiency and cost optimization. Therefore, this study was an extensive evaluation of elite maize hybrids across 12 locations in India to determine the G×E interactions in order to identify representative sites for CIMMYT product profiles for gaining resource efficiency while achieving enhanced genetic gains. …”

IPMomics: from genomics to extension for integrated pest management of cowpea: Proceedings of the 5th World Cowpea Research Conference, held at Palm Beach Hotel, Saly, Senegal. 27...
Publicado 2012“…The “systems” perspective of organism communities provided through IPM-omics may also facilitate the effective evaluation, modification, and optimization of IPM strategies. However, any resultant IPM program for crop pests will also require that extension agents, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have the ability to easily access and deploy the IPM research findings through information and communications technologies. …”
