The narrowing of diversity in crop species contributing to the world s food supplies has been considered a potential threat to food security. However, changes in this diversity have not been quantified globally. We assess trends over the past 50 y in the richness, abundance, and composition of cr...

The wild relatives of crops represent a major source of valuable traits for crop improvement. These resources are threatened by habitat destruction, land use changes, and other factors, requiring their urgent collection and long-term availability for research and breeding from ex situ collections...

Nicaragua has already experienced substantial climate change, in part due to a loss of one half of its forest cover in the last half-century. In this study, we assess the extent to which historical climate trends have contributed to stagnating yields for maize (Zea mays) and bean (Phaseolus vulga...

The crop improvement research effort of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) centers and their national agricultural research systems (NARS) partners has had a large impact on world food production. Although bean impact has been documented in a number of past stud...

The potential distribution map of the Cassava Greenmite is the result of a weighted overlay combination of several ecological models and a set of environmental variables. Models used were Environmental Distance, Genetic Alrgorithm for Rule-set Production and Support vector Machines. Environmental...

Data were collected by a simulation model to estimate yield changes due to climate change in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. We analysed the simulated yield changes to spatially classify high-impact spots of climate change across the four countries. We identified hot spots, adapta...

These two datasets hold basic information on rice cropping events corresponding to fields of two regions of Colombia: Saldaña (Tolima) and Villavicencio (Meta). This include municipality, variety, cropping system (irrigated/rainfed), sowing and harvesting date, and yield.

Secondary and micronutrients are important in enhancing crop productivity; yet, they are hardly studied in sub-Sahara Africa. In this region, the main focus has been on macronutrients but there is emerging though scattered evidence of crop productivity limitations by the secondary and micronutrie...
