Intensification is a key strategy for smallholder farmers in Central America, and improved forages can play a significant role. To facilitate adoption of forages a spatial decision support system (SDSS) is under development to target forage species to particular biophysical, socio-economic and ma...

Helping farmers select forage species in Central America: The case for a decision support system
En cinco muestras de semillas de B. dictyoneura cosechadas en la misma época en Colombia, Panamá y Costa Rica, se evaluó el efecto de tres niveles de calor seco (ambiente, 40 y 60°C) y tres tiempos de exposición (0, 72 y 240 h) aplicados a uno y tres meses poscosecha en espiguillas completas o es...

In the past, adoption of forage technologies has been poor. This paper considers the reasons for this low level of adoption and how the situation has changed in recent years. Experiences, mostly in south-east Asia and some in east Africa, have shown that participatory approaches in the developmen...
