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. ...
¿Cómo diseñamos y ejecutamos el Proyecto Cacao Centroamérica para estimular al sector cacaotero de Centroamérica?
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2013)
Tree diversity in a tropical agricultural-forest mosaic landscape in Honduras
(Scientific Reports, 2022-11-03)
Biodiversity decline in the tropics requires the implementation of comprehensive landscape management where agricultural systems are necessarily an integral element of biodiversity conservation. This study evaluates the ...
Modeling age and yield dynamics in Coffea arabica pruning systems
(Elsevier, 2022)
The maintenance of rejuvenated, productive plant tissue through regular and frequent pruning is essential to sustain high and stable coffee yields. Different coffee pruning systems have been described by means of well-written ...
Arboles de guayaba (Psidium guajava L.) en pastizales. 1. Producción de fruta y potencial de dispersión de semillas
(Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA), 1985-07)
Se estudió la influencia de las flores y de los frutos en distintos estadios de desarrollo sobre el crecimiento vegetativo en un cultivar de soja de hábito de crecimiento indeterminado. Plantas noduladas del cv. Williams ...
Trees as hotspots: Using forest, trees, and agroforestry to foster diverse sustainable landscapes
(Agricultural Systems, 2022)
Forests, trees, and agroforestry (FTA) are ecosystem hotspots. They exemplify the contributions of biodiversity to sustainable and resilient landscapes, green circular economy and to sustainable agriculture and food systems ...
ShadeMotion: tree shade patterns in coffee and cocoa agroforestry systems
(Springer, 2022-10-25)
Shade trees in coffee and cocoa agroforestry systems provide valuable livelihoods and other ecosystem services. Unfortunately, most shade canopies are sub-optimally designed and managed and the reasons behind this ...
Efecto de tres tratamientos pregerminativos sobre la germinación y viabilidad de las semillas de Enterolobium cyclocarpum (Jacq) Griseb
(Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA), 1984-01)
Non-treated seeds of Enterolobium cyclocarpum (Jacq} Griseb achieved a 9% germination 30 days after planting. Soaking the seeds in concentrated sulfuric acid and in boiling water raised germination up to 87% and 83% ...
Above‑ground biomass models for dominant trees species in cacao agroforestry systems in Talamanca, Costa Rica
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Tree biomass allometric models are essential to estimate biomass, carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in cacao agroforestry systems and other land uses with woody perennial species. A total of 34 trees of Cordia ...
Shade canopy density variables in cocoa and coffee agroforestry systems
(Springer Nature, 2023-12-18)
An estimated 3.4 million hectares of cocoa and 9.7 million hectares of coffee are cultivated, globally, under shade trees, i.e. in agroforestry systems. Shade canopies are characterized in terms of tree density (N, trees ...
