High-altitude ecosystems shelter important reserves of biodiversity, water provision and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Climate change, agricultural encroachment, overgrazing, and mining activities are endangering ecosystems sustainability, particularly in the high-Andean Puna. Increasing food...

Cowpeas suffer major yield losses due to insect pests, so insect resistant cowpea varieties are being developed to minimize insecticide use in integrated pest management. Experiments during the cropping seasons of 2002–2004 at Kano, Nigeria, evaluated four cowpea varieties and five combinations o...

The effect of fertilizer and mulch across tropic level of the cassava ecosystem, i.e. the plant, the cassava mealybug(CM), the wasp Apoanagyrus lopezi and its hyperparasitoids, was studied in two field experiments planted ins southern Benin. Several cassava cultivars with different branching patt...

Expansion of crop production into high-altitude native grasslands is occurring in the Peruvian High-Andes due to climate change and agricultural intensification, with little understanding of the consequences to the ecosystem. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of land-use cha...

Land use effects on soil fertility and nutrient cycling in the Peruvian High-Andean puna grasslands.
The provision of food requirements for current and future generations can be guaranteed through agricultural intensification options that safeguard the production resource base. Over the years, the debate on sustainable agricultural intensification has not been matched with due regard to how the ...

The problem of fertilizer recommendations is discussed and each criterion to be considered is analyzed: amount of nutrients in the soil, crop requirements, fertilizer efficiency, and economic aspect of fertilization. A list of some var. tolerant to adverse soil conditions (low P, high Al) is pres...
