Long-term effects of shade and input levels on coffee yields in the Pacific region of Nicaragua
(CIRAD, Montpellier (France), 2020)
The suitability and profitability of coffee cultivation in Central America are at risk due to pest and disease outbreaks, price fluctuations and climate change. Proper shading is claimed to be one of the most promising ...
Siting Marine Protected Areas with Area Targets Protecting Rural Incomes, Fish Stocks, and Turtles in Costa Rica
(2020-04)
With many countries seeking to increase the area conserved in marine protected areas (MPAs) to achieve the Convention on Biodiversity’s protected area targets by 2020, we employ a bioeconomic model to determine which ...
Shade tree Chloroleucon eurycyclum promotes coffee leaf rust by reducing uredospore wash-off by rain
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2020)
addition, may interact with environment. To better understand shade trees effects on coffee leaf rust (CLR), we
studied three disease stages separately: sporulation, uredospore wash-off by rain, and uredospore deposition ...
The positive association between natural vegetation, native coccinellids and functional diversity of aphidophagous coccinellid communities in alfalfa
(2021-01)
1. A greater taxonomic and functional diversity of natural enemies in agroecosystems is frequently positively associated with more effective pest control, due to the complementarity of species or traits. But this diversity ...
Measured ammonia emissions from tropical and subtropical pastures: A comparison with 2006 IPCC, 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC, and EMEP/EEA (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme and European Environmental Agency) inventory estimates
(American Dairy Science Association, Champaign, IL, EUA ; Elsevier, Ámsterdam, Países Bajos, 2020)
Agriculture is the largest source of ammonia (NH3) emissions. As NH3 is an indirect greenhouse gas, NH3 measurements are crucial to improving greenhouse gas emission inventory estimates. Moreover, NH3 emissions have wider ...
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, ...
Contribución de la cobertura arbórea a la compensación de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de fincas productoras de leche en el sur oriente de Guatemala
(2023-04-11)
Identificar las principales fuentes de emisión de GEI y determinar el balance de carbono en fincas lecheras con diferentes niveles de innovación tecnológica en la región sureste de Guatemala. Se seleccionaron 30 fincas con ...
Total litterfall and leaf‑litter decomposition of Theobroma grandiflorum under different agroforestry systems in the western Colombian Amazon
(Springer, 2023)
The objective of this study was to quantify the amount of litter accumulated on the soil and the rate of decomposition in multistrata successional agroforestry systems with Theobroma grandiflorum as mainly crop, compared ...
An assessment of silvopastoral systems condition and their capacity to generate ecosystem services in the Colombian Amazon
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-06-14)
Livestock production in the Colombian Amazonia is typically dual-purpose (meat and milk) based on silvopastoral systems. We aimed to assess how the ecological condition of these systems correspond to the ecosystem services ...
