Canavalia brasiliensis (canavalia), a drought tolerant legume, was introduced into the smallholder traditional crop-livestock production system of the Nicaraguan hillsides as green manure to improve soil fertility or as forage during the dry season for improving milk production. Since nitrogen (N...

Nitrogen balances in farmers fields under alternative uses of a cover crop legume: a case study from Nicaragua
Potato production in Uganda is being affected by rainfall fluctuations in both timing and amount, resulting into inadequate soil moisture availability and low productivity. Also, potato production is expanding into locations at lower altitudes, where drought is more common. Therefore, drought str...

Characterization and evaluation of potato genotypes (Solanum tuberosum L) for tolerance to drought in Uganda.
Soil drying causes leaf rolling in rice, but the relationship between leaf rolling and drought tolerance has historically confounded selection of drought tolerant genotypes. In this study on tropical japonica and aus diversity panels (170‐220 genotypes), the degree of leaf rolling under drought w...

The ability of four introductions of the genus Brachiaria to adapt to the influence of plant pathogenic fungi under two soil moisture regimes was evaluated. Pathogens limiting the development of the crop were determined and the frequency of occurrence indicated that Pythium, Rhizoctonia and Fusar...

Bioversity International's 'Seeds for Needs' initiative works with farmers to research how agricultural biodiversity can help minimize the risks associated with climate change. The concept is simple – if farmers have better information and access to a wide range of varieties, they are more able t...
