The recovery of teat wall thickness and teat tissue density after machine milking by Löfstrand, Jenny

“…After the 30 minutes the teat wall kept decreasing until next milking due to the increase of intramammary pressure. Teat changes can be measured with different methods and in this study, the measurements from a cutimeter were compared to the measurements from an ultrasound machine. …”

A land management based approach to integrated Striga hermonthica control in subSaharan Africa by Berner, D.A., Carsky, R.J., Dashiell, Kenton E., Kling, J., Manyong, Victor M.

“…In the recent past, prior to increased production pressure on land, S. hermonthica was controlled in African farming systems by prolonged crop rotations with bush fallow. …”

Weeds in human affairs in subSaharan Africa: implications for sustainable food production by Akobundu, I.

“…Parasitic and perennial weeds dominate the savanna vegetation zones whereas rapidly growing annual weeds overwhelm crops in the forest vegetation zones. High weed pressure coupled with inefficient weed control practices have tied up a disproportionate percentage of SSA's economically active population in the primary task of food production and also have kept crop yields down. …”

Ecological sustainability and environmental risks of agricultural intensification in inland valleys in Benin by Djagba, J.F., Zwart, Sander J., Houssou, C.S., Tenté, B.H.A., Kiepe, P.

“…Agricultural enhancement in inland valleys, which undermines environmental sustainability, was assessed using 'Driving Force–Pressure–State–Impact–Response' approach in four agro-ecological zones of Benin. …”

Effect of soil moisture and organic matter levels on plantain root reaction to Radopholus similis by Rotimi, M., Speijer, P., Waele, D. de

“…Highest root weight was obtained in a medium that supported low densities of R. similis, suggesting that low nematode pressure could enhance root growth of Agbagba.…”

Biological control of an agricultural pest protects tropical forests by Wyckhuys, Kris A.G., Hughes, A.C., Buamas, C., Johnson, Anne, Vasseur, Liette, Reymondin, Louis, Deguine, J.P., Sheil, D.

“…Though often perceived as an environmentally-risky practice, biological control of invasive species can restore crop yields, ease land pressure and thus contribute to forest conservation. …”

Raising the profile of woodfuels in the forest landscape restoration agenda by Harvey, C.A., Guariguata, Manuel R.

“…In landscapes where woodfuel use is prevalent, FLR initiatives should consider enhancing wood fuel supply by growing trees, promoting fuel‐efficient cookstoves and kilns, and shifting pressure from natural forests and woodlands to planted trees. …”

Selection biases and spillovers from collective conservation incentives in the Peruvian Amazon by Giudice, R., Börner, J., Wunder, Sven, Cisneros, E.

“…Conservation effects on contracted land were negligible because communities were not chosen according to high deforestation threats, and they self-enrolled low-pressure forest areas for conservation. Occasional non-sanctioned contract incompliance contributed to these outcomes. …”

The extent and economic significance of cultivated forage crops in developing countries by Fuglie, Keith, Peters, Michael, Burkart, Stefan

“…Raising yields of forage crops can increase the availability and affordability of livestock products as well as reduce pressure on increasingly scarce land resources by enabling greater herd densities on existing pasture. …”

The effect of land inheritance on youth migration and employment decisions in Rwanda by Byishimo, P., Hirpa Tufa, A., Yami, M., Alene, A., Feleke, S., Abdoulaye, Tahirou, Manyong, Victor

“…Increased population density coupled with low education rates has increased pressure on natural resources, especially land. This paper assessed the effect of land inheritance on youth migration and employment in Rwanda using the 2010/11 and 2013/14 Integrated Household Living Conditions Surveys (EICVs) data collected from 8160 households by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR). …”

Editorial: Forage crop improvement for improved livestock production and nutrition by Pereira, J.F., Jiyu Zhang, Jessup, R., Jones, Christopher S.

“…Improved forages can increase animal production per unit head and may also allow higher grazing intensity (more animals per hectare), leading to lower pressure on grazing land which is the most predominant way of feeding livestock. …”

Harmonious governance frameworks for water reuse: guidelines for planners, investors, project designers and operators by International Water Management Institute

“…Effective governance is central to successful water reuse in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where water scarcity is intensifying due to population growth and agricultural pressure. This IWMI brief under the ReWater MENA project outlines a thirteen-step approach for designing inclusive, functional governance frameworks that accommodate the diverse range of formal and informal stakeholders in water reuse from ministries and farmers to NGOs and private operators. …”
