Unraveling the Complexity of Coffee Leaf Rust Behavior and Development in Different Coffea arabica Agroecosystems
(2020)
Crop health management systems can be designed according to practices that help to reduce crop losses by restricting pathogen development and promoting host plant growth. A good understanding of pathogen and host dynamics, ...
Shade effects on moisture relations of agroforestry systems
(1999)
Although competition of shade trees for water with shaded crops has been a major argument in favor of the removal of shade trees in agroforestry systems, experimental results do not always confirm that shade trees increase ...
Coffee growers make improved pest management decisions through group learning and experimentation by crop stage
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 1999)
Farming families try to produce profitable crops with available resources, but they still face conditions of variability and uncertainty. Rainfall variability between 3 to 6 months affects crop vigor and phenology, pest ...

Agroforestry in China: present state and future potential
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 1997)
In China, major agroforestry systems are estimated to cover 45 million ha. Agrosilviculture is a dominant practice. Aquasilvicultures, e.g. tree-fish-arable crop and tree-fish-livestock systems, are alternatives for land ...

Biodiversity in the cacao agroecosystem: shade management and landscape considerations
The ability of cacao farms to harbor biological diversity—particularly forest dependent species—is known for only a few taxa (primarily ants and birds) and from a few sites. Much of what we suspect to be true of cacao farms ...
