Grassland improvement work, particularly in the early stages of developing a program for tropical regions, involves a comparison of new accessions selected from wild populations whose potential as cultivated forages is often unknown.

Selection of pasture cultivars from many germplasm entries under grazing
Cassava breeding and varietal dissemination in Vietnam initiated in 1975 after Vietnam was unified. The cassava program in Vietnam began to cooperate closely with CIAT and became part of the Asian Cassava Research Network in 1988. Thanks to the introduction of new highyielding varieties from Thai...

Cassava breeding and varietal dissemination in Vietnam from 1975 to 2000
Cassava plays a major role in the food security of a large but weaker sector of the population, operating under complex, diverse and risk-prone farming systems. As the crop generally received low priority in the extension agenda of Government policies, direct intervention in the technology assess...

The evaluation of pasture plants is complicated by the fact that no absolute yield exists with which experimental results can be compared. Evaluation techniques should therefore simulate as far as possible the conditions to be encountered on commercial farms, thus suggesting that modifications to...

Germplasm evaluation by cutting and grazing in small plots: Comparison of results
Tropical forests are decreasing at the rate of 16.9 million hectares per year due mainly to clearing for agriculture and shifting cultivation. Timber harvesting results for more than 5 million hectares of tropical forest becoming degraded looged-over forests every year without any adequate manage...

Landscape rehabilitation of degraded tropical forest ecosystems: case study of CIFOR/Japan Project in Indonesia and Peru
Tropical forests are being cleared at a rate of 16.9 million hectares per year and timber harvesting results in over 5 million hectares becoming secondary forests annually without adequate management. This decrease and degradation affect both timber production and many environmental values. Selec...
