    • Unraveling Ecophysiological Mechanisms in Potatoes under Different Irrigation Methods: A Preliminary Field Evaluation 

      Silva-Díaz, Cecilia; Ramírez, David A.; Rodríguez-Delfín, Alfredo; Mendiburu, Felipe de; Rinza, Javier; Ninanya, Johan; Loayza, Hildo; Quiroz, Roberto (2020)
      Potatoes—a global food security and staple crop—is threatened by dry spells in drought-prone areas. The use of physiological thresholds to save water while maintaining a reasonable tuber yield has been proposed, but their ...
    • Unraveling the Complexity of Coffee Leaf Rust Behavior and Development in Different Coffea arabica Agroecosystems 

      Murley, Isabelle; Pico, Jimmy; Granados, Eduardo; Boudrot, Audrey; Tixier, Philippe; Virginio Filho, Elías de Melo; Cilas, Christian; Avelino, Jacques (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, ...
    • Validating South Sudan as a Center of Origin for Coffea arabica: Implications for Conservation and Coffee Crop Improvement 

      Krishnan, Sarada; Pruvot-Woehl, Solene; Davis, Aaron P; Schilling, Tim; Moat, Justin; Solano, William; Al Hakimi, Amin; Montagnon, Christophe (Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021)
      Cultivated Arabica coffee outside Ethiopia is plagued by low genetic diversity, compromising disease resistance, climate resiliency and sensory potential. Access to the wider genetic diversity of this species may circumvent ...
    • Variación intraespecífica de rasgos funcionales de Cedrela odorata L. en la Península de Nicoya, Costa Rica 

      Galindo Segura, Luis A.; Finegan, Bryan; Delgado Rodríguez, Luis D.; Mesén Sequeira, Francisco (2020)
      El cambio climático modificará el régimen hidrológico global a causa de alteraciones en la magnitud de la precipitación y temperatura, y su interacción con las condiciones físicas y de vegetación de cada lugar; esto ...
    • Views of government and non-government actors on urban forest management and governance in ten Latin-American capital cities 

      Orozco Aguilar, Luis; y otros siete autores más (Elsevier, 2023-03-20)
      Addressing urban forest management and governance challenges is fundamental for implementing urban forest policies. Most of the evidence on this topic comes from Global North cities, so little is known about how urban ...
    • Water Saving Using Thermal Imagery-Based Thresholds for Timing Irrigation in Potatoes under Drip and Furrow Irrigation Systems 

      Rinza, Javier; Quiroz, Roberto A; y 4 autores más (Agronomy, 2022)
      Under the current water crisis in agriculture, irrigation methods for saving and conserving water are necessary. However, these methods must guarantee an appropriate yield with a concomitant economic benefit and a reduced ...
    • Water use, leaf cooling and carbon assimilation efficiency of heat resistant common beans evaluated in western Amazonia 

      Suárez, Juan C; Urban, Milan O; Contreras, Amara T; Noriega, Jhon E; Deva, Chetan; Beebe, Stephen E; Polanía, José A; Casanoves, Fernando; Rao, Idupulapati M (2021)
      In our study, we analyzed 30years of climatological data revealing the bean production risks for Western Amazonia. Climatological profiling showed high daytime and nighttime temperatures combined with high relative humidity ...
