Small businesses, potentially large impacts: the role of fertilizer traders as agricultural extension agents in Bangladesh by Mottaleb, Khondoker Abdul, Rahut, Dil Bahadur, Erenstein, Olaf

“…Thus, this study concludes that small rural traders in Bangladesh are working as agricultural extension agents and provide necessary fertilizer application information to resource-poor farmers.This is a case study based on Bangladesh – an emerging economy in South Asia. The findings of the study may not be generalized for other countries.To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that confirms the role of agricultural input sellers as the extension agent in developing countries.…”

Genetic relationship of tropical region‐bred temperate japonica rice (Oryza sativa) plants and their grain yield variations in three different tropical environments by Lee, Jeom-Sig, Torollo, Gideon, Ndayiragije, Alexis, Berchmans Bizimana, Jean, Choi, Il-Ryong, Gulles, Alaine, Yeo, Un-Sang, Jeong, O-Young, Venkatanagappa, Shoba, Kim, Bo-Kyeong

“…Fourteen japonica rice varieties and lines adapting to tropical environments were developed in the Philippines (tropical Asia) between 2008 and 2014. Their genomes were characterized by genomewide single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, and their grain yields were examined in the Philippines during the wet and dry seasons and in a high‐altitude area of Burundi (tropical Africa). …”

Response to direct selection for grain yield under drought stress in rice by Venuprasad, R., Lafitte, H.R., Atlin, G.N.

“…Drought is a major cause of yield loss in rain‐fed rice (Oryza sativa L.), grown on over 40 million ha in Asia. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of direct selection for yield under drought stress in upland rice in populations derived from crosses between irrigated high‐yielding cultivars and upland‐adapted cultivars. …”
