This paper highlights the concern about reduction in genetic diversity which has been expressed primarily in terms of loss of breeds and strains. Examines molecular genetic techniques and the measurement of genetic diversity within species. Current needs to estimate genetic relationships among st...

Genetic diversity of Caribbean common bean germplasm
This brief summarizes the progress made in establishing and supporting a national network of community seedbanks in South Africa in the period 2016-2019. Three community seedbanks are up and running. Some exchanges of seeds and knowledge have taken place within the country and with neighboring Zi...

Consideration of possible side-effects of exotic biological control agents on their new environments is a necessary step in classical biological control programs. The evaluation of such effects usually requires the knowledge of the fauna present in those environments prior to introduction of cont...

Macro-organisms contribute significantly to soil fertility improvement. The influence of conservation agriculture (CA) in southern Africa on their populations has not yet been fully understood. Thus, the objective of the current study was to evaluate the effects of CA and conventional tillage on ...
