The Role of the legume in the nitrogen cycle of productive and sustainable pastures por Thomas, Richard J.

“…For intensively managed temperate pastures producing 6‐15 t DM ha−1 yr−1 with a N content of 3·5%, a range of fixation of 120‐352 kg N ha−1 yr−1 is required. These simulations indicate how legume contents of 20‐45% of herbage DM could contribute to productive and sustainable (in terms of N) pasture systems of both temperate and tropical regions…”

Improving seasonal precipitation forecast for agriculture in the Orinoquía Region of Colombia por Fernandes, Katia, Muñoz, Angel, Ramírez Villegas, Julián Armando, Agudelo, Diego, Llanos Herrera, Lizeth, Esquivel, Alejandra, Rodríguez Espinoza, Jeferson, Prager, Steven D.

“…This is particularly relevant for stations that, due to discontinuity in their time series, are not included in station-only CCA models but are still in need of probabilistic seasonal forecasts. Finally, CFSv2 VQ performs better than precipitation as the predictor in CCA, which we attribute to CFSv2 being more internally consistent in regards to sea surface temperature (SST)-forced VQ variability than to SST-forced precipitation variability in the Orinoquía region.…”

Where Policy and Culture Collide: Perceptions and Responses of Swidden Farmers to the Burn Ban in West Kalimantan, Indonesia por Daeli, W., Carmenta, R., Monroe, M.C., Adams, A.E.

“…In addition to the agricultural value of fire, cultural and relational values are associated with fire use across sites and would be severed through fire prevention. Finally, we show that the burdens of the burn ban for farmers and forests were most pronounced in the NP and T sites where farmers are most reliant on traditional agriculture, have the fewest livelihood alternatives and least external support to fight uncontrolled fires.…”

Ethnobotanical characterization of scarlet eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum L.) varieties cultivated in Benin (West Africa) por Aguessy, S., Idossou, R., Dassou, A.G., Loko, Y., Yelome, O.I., Gbaguidi, A.A., Agre, A.P., Dansi, A., Agbangla, C.

“…It appears that eggplant production is still traditional and is of limited use in Benin. Finally, the currently collected germplasm was proposed for further evaluation using morphological and molecular markers to provide breeders with traits of interest for developing better eggplant varieties and hybrids that are suitable for local environmental conditions and production systems.…”
