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...

The Andean blackberry (Rubus glaucus) is an important source of income in hillside regions of Colombia. However, growers have little reliable information on the factors that affect the development and yield of the crop, and therefore there is a dearth of information onhowto effectively manage the...

Planted fallow systems under slash and mulch management were compared with natural fallow systems at two farms (BM1 and BM2) in the Colombian Andes. The BM1 site was relatively more fertile than the BM2 site. Planted fallow systems evaluated included Calliandra calothyrsus CIAT 20400 (CAL), Ind...

The increasing attention paid to local soil knowledge in recent years is the result of a greater recognition that the knowledge of people who have been interacting with their soils for long time can offer many insights about the sustainable management of tropical soils. This paper describes two a...

En épocas de lluvia (mayo de 2006) y de sequía (agosto de 2006), en tres sitios de la zona de ladera de los municipios de Bolívar, Sevilla y El Dovio, se evaluó mediante metodologías participativas el proceso de adaptación de tecnologías forrajeras. Se aplicaron evaluaciones abiertas, absolutas y...

Watersheds constitute a special case of multiple-use common pool resources (CPRs). In a textual sense, watersheds tend to be mosaics of privately owned and managed patches of land. At the same time, however, watersheds are also ecosystems in which multiple resources and people interact through an...

Los procesos erosivos en laderas Andinas (evidentes con la presencia de calvas, procesos de soliflucción, cárcavas, etc.) limitan el crecimiento de las plantas y, con ello, las posibilidades de sustentar una población humana creciente en la región. Los sistemas de producción tradicionales involu...
