The effect of aerobic soil conditions, soil volume and sowing date on the development of four tropical rice varieties grown in the greenhouse por Clerget, Benoit, Bueno, Crisanta

“…Pot size had only a small effect whereas aerobic soil conditions slowed down the rate of leaf initiation, which consequently delayed panicle initiation and heading date and thus increased the duration of the tillering phase and finally the number of tillers. Surprisingly, the four varieties showed a significant response to sowing date, especially IR72, which headed 21 days later and after the expansion of two more leaves in the May sowing. …”

Women, irrigation and social norms in Egypt: ‘The more things change, the more they stay the same?’ por Najjar, Dina, Baruah, Bipasha, El Garhi, Aman

“…These factors enabled women to participate meaningfully in public institutions related to irrigation, such as water user associations (WUAs). Finally, we discovered that desire and ability to participate in WUAs declined dramatically for both women and men when institutional support was withdrawn or eroded. …”

Crop-livestock integration and technology choices for improving fodder availability, livestock productivity and famers’ income in West Africa por Kumar, Shalander, Pramanik, Soumitra, Umutoni, Clarisse, Rich, Karl M., Bado, Vincent, Whitbread, Anthony

“…Whole-farm scenarios developed with assistance from stakeholders and experts consultations were used to measure and illustrate possible impacts, testing different technical (livestock breeds, health intervention), and institutional innovations (markets, policies). Finally, the analysis helped in identifying strategies for integrating suitable dual-purpose crops and cultivars, and type of livestock to improve livestock productivity, marketability, and income for improving rural livelihoods, and increasing availability of animal-sourced food in Niger and Burkina Faso.…”

The role of genotyping in measuring improved variety adoption and impact: Advances, challenges, and policy directions por Melesse, Mequanint B., Maredia, Mywish K., Wossen, Tesfamicheal, Odeny, Damaris, Spielman, David J., Michelson, Hope, Waza, Showkat Ahmad, Kamunye, Kelvin, Alene, Arega, Dar, Manzoor H., Afari-Sefa, Victor, Pingali, Prabhu

“…The review also highlights methodological innovations to reduce DNA fingerprinting costs and explores how fingerprinting can inform monitoring, evaluation, and scaling of agricultural innovations. Finally, we outline key research and policy priorities to mainstream DNA fingerprinting into national agricultural systems and to support more evidence-based, accountable, and equitable food policy.…”

Alternative U.S. biofuel mandates and global GHG emissions: The role of land use change, crop management and yield growth por Mosnier, Aline, Havlík, Petr, Valin, Hugo, Baker, J., Murray, B., Feng, S., Obersteiner, Michael, McCarl, B.A., Rose, S.K., Schneider, U.A.

“…In fact, higher levels of the mandate mean lower net emissions within the U.S. but when the emissions from the rest of the world are considered, the US biofuel policy results in almost no change on GHG emissions for the RFS2 level and higher global GHG emissions for higher levels of the mandate or higher share of conventional corn-ethanol in the mandate. Finally, we show that if the projected crop productivity would be lower globally, the imbalance between domestic U.S. …”

Does access to small scale irrigation promote market oriented production in Ethiopia? por Hagos, Fitsum, Makombe, Godswill, Namara, Regassa E., Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele

“…Increased support to education can, thus, help in the long-term to transform traditional subsistence agriculture into more market-oriented agriculture. Finally there are unobserved site specific effects, related to location and other covariates, which influence market participation and volume decisions.…”
