Should Household Consumption and Expenditures Surveys (HCES) be used for nutritional assessment and planning? por Murphy, Suzanne, Ruel, Marie T., Carriquiry, Alicia

“…Another concern is the lack of information on the variability of consumption over time, making it difficult to estimate the distribution of usual consumption, and thus the prevalence of nutrient inadequacies or excesses. Other potential limitations might be addressed by improvements to the HCES questionnaires, such as including information on foods that are available but not consumed and those that are consumed outside the home. …”

Changing fish trade and demand patterns in developing countries and their significance for policy research por Delgado, Christopher L., Courbois, Claude

“…In the ten years preceding 1993, the net value of fisheries exports from developing countries went from less than a third of net developing country exports of sugar, beverage crops and tropical specialty products combined, to a level exceeding that total. While real fish prices have remained relatively stable since 1970, real beef prices have declined by 300 percent, suggesting that a rally in meat prices would further accentuate the shift to fish. …”

Germination ecology of two troublesome Asteraceae species of rainfed rice: Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata) and coat buttons (Tridax procumbens) por Chauhan, Bhagirath S., Johnson, David E.

“…Neither species emerged from depths exceeding 3 cm. Seedling emergence and seedling dry matter of both species were greatly reduced with the addition of crop residue to the soil surface at rates equivalent to 4 to 6 t ha−1. …”

Stress response versus stress tolerance: a transcriptome analysis of two rice lines contrasting in tolerance to phosphorus deficiency por Pariasca-Tanaka, Juan, Satoh, Kouji, Rose, Terry, Mauleon, Ramil, Wissuwa, Matthias

“…Genes responding to P supply far exceeded those differing between genotypes. Genes associated with internal P remobilization/redistribution and soil P solubilization/uptake were stress responsive but often more so in intolerant Nipponbare. …”

Vegetation as “Reed Diffusers” Accelerate the Hydrological Cycle of Arid Land surface por Govind, Ajit

“…This issue has to be carefully considered while developing agricultural projects in oasis environments. Excessive agriculture or date palm cultivation even with judicious water management could permanently damage oasis ecosystems and we need to find the right balance.…”

Capacity building of stakeholders in Niger Office on seed production of drought tolerant rice varieties and system of rice intensification in Mali por Sidibe, M, Keita, B., Dossou-Yovo, E.R.

“…The trainings contributed to significant progress towards adoption targets, with over 65,196 stakeholders sensitized and 22,280 farmers trained in climate-resilient practices, exceeding dissemination targets. The outcomes demonstrate a strong foundation for large-scale scaling of drought-tolerant rice technologies and intensive rice cultivation systems to improve productivity and resilience in Mali’s rice sector.…”

Diagnosis of sorghum production and its market in Côte d’Ivoire por Diby, N’Nan, Mobio, Jacob Aubin, Kanon, Landry Alban, Deffan, Khando Prudence, Sangare, Salimata, N’Da, Hughes Annicet, Bouniol, Alexandre

“…Sorghum, the fourth most important cereal in Côte d’Ivoire, accounts for approximately 3% of national cereal production, with an annual output exceeding 70,000 tons. Cultivated mainly by smallholder farmers in the northern regions, it serves multiple purposes: human consumption, traditional brewing (local malting), and animal feed. …”

Non-pathogenic trade-offs of wastewater irrigation por Qadir, Manzoor, Scott, Christopher A.

“…Aside from microbiological hazards, the practice can pose a variety of other potential risks: excessive and often imbalanced addition of nutrients to the soil; build-up of salts in the soils (depending on the source water, especially sodium salts); increased concentrations of metals and metalloids (particularly where industries are present) reaching phytotoxic levels over the long term; and accumulation of emerging contaminants, like residual pharmaceuticals. …”

Determining optimal groundwater table depth for maximizing cotton production in the Sardarya Province of Uzbekistan por Qureshi, Asad Sarwar, Eshmuratov, Davron, Bezborodov, G.A.

“…However, to achieve maximum potential yields of cotton (5-6 t ha1), leaching of excessive salts from the root zone through freshwater application would be imperative. …”

Temperature and deactivation of microbial faecal indicators during small scale co-composting of faecal matter por Germer, J., Boh.M.Y., Schoeffler, M., Amoah, Philip

“…The reduction of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Salmonella senftenberg in test containment systems placed in the core of the compost piles was very efficient, exceeding 5 log10-units in all cases, but recolonisation from the cooler outer layers appeared to interfere with the sanitisation efficiency of the substrate itself. …”

Farmers' practices and community management of irrigation: why do they not match in Fatnassa oasis? por Ghazouani, Wafa, Marlet, S., Mekki, I., Harrington, Larry W., Vidal, Alain

“…The extension of date palm plantation and technical dysfunctions played a less important role as they were counterbalanced by cancellation of irrigation in some plots. At the eld scale, excessively long irrigation duration resulted from the joint effects of small elds, poor maintenance of eld-level water delivery systems, uncontrolled night irrigation events and low farmer commitment. …”

The impacts of climate change on tropical and subtropical horticultural production por Mathur, P.N., Ramírez Villegas, Julián Armando, Jarvis, Andy

“…An increase of 2°C in temperatures will pose a strong pressure on existing crop varieties (temperature thresholds could be exceeded in highly niche-specific and/or temperaturesensitive crops), whilst shifts in rainfall patterns could significantly alter harvests by altering fruit filling periods and delaying vegetative growth, to not speak about the effects of increased CO2 concentrations, the effects on agricultural pests and diseases, and on soil quality, most of which are still highly uncertain and remain under- or unexplored.…”
