Shade and Agronomic Intensification in Coffee Agroforestry Systems: Trade-Off or Synergy?
(2021)
Despite many years of research, there is still a lack of consensus as to the nature of the relationship between shade trees and agronomic intensification in coffee agroforestry systems. While some studies find unshaded ...
Genotype–environment interactions shape leaf functional traits of cacao in agroforests
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2021)
The outbreak of frosty (Moniliophthora roreri) and black pod (Phytophthora palmivora) in Central American cacao agroforests throughout the 1980s led to the breeding of Theobroma cacao clones resistant to these diseases. ...
Unveiling a unique genetic diversity of cultivated Coffea arabica L. in its main domestication center: Yemen
(2021)
Whilst it is established that almost all cultivated coffee (Coffea arabica L.) varieties originated in Yemen after some coffee seeds were introduced into Yemen from neighboring Ethiopia, the actual coffee genetic diversity ...
Planned behavior and social capital: Understanding farmers’ behavior toward pressurized irrigation technologies.
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2021-09)
Water scarcity is becoming a major challenge worldwide. The agricultural sector, as a main user of freshwater, may significantly increase its water use efficiency by promoting water saving strategies. This paper proposes ...
Eficiencias ecológicas para la producción sostenible del café en Centroamérica: Desarrollando la base para sistemas de producción alternativa
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica). Departamento de Agricultura y Agroforestería, 2021)
Servicios ambientales en cafetales multiestratos de América Latina
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica). Departamento de Agricultura y Agroforestería, 2021)
El café crece en una variedad de condiciones ambientales; por ejemplo, en diferentes gradientes altitudinales, tipos de suelo y varios regímenes de humedad; además, se maneja bajo diversas prácticas. Para maximizar el ...
Rehabilitation and renovation of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) agroforestry systems. A review
(INRAE, París (France) ; Springer-Verlag France (Switzerland), 2021-10)
Cocoa farmers must decide on whether to rehabilitate (Rh) or to renovate (Re) a cocoa orchard when its productivity declines due to ageing, disease outbreaks or other causes. Deciding on Rh/Re is often a complex, expensive ...
Shade tree identity rather than diversity influences soil macrofauna in cacao-based agroforestry systems
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Netherlands), 2021-09)
Humanity is facing a rapid decline in global biodiversity, caused mainly by tropical deforestation through industrial and smallholder agriculture. However, smallholder agriculture landscapes host areas containing home ...
Shade tree traits and microclimate modifications: Implications for pathogen management in biodiverse coffee agroforests
(Wiley Biotropica, New Jersey (Estados Unidos), 2021-04)
Diversified coffee agroforests modify microclimate conditions in comparison with monocultures, impacting the success of significant plant pathogens, such as Hemileia vastatrix, which causes coffee leaf rust (CLR). However, ...
Dispersal limitation, soil, and fire affect functional properties of tropical secondary forests on abandoned cattle ranching landscapes
(2021)
Forest age is a major predictor of secondary forest functional properties and through the chronosequence approach continues to be a principal focus in local, landscape, and regional-scale studies of secondary succession. ...
