The role of CGIAR Germplasm Health Units in averting endemic crop diseases: the example of rice blast in Bangladesh by Yuji Enriquez, Melinda Smale, Nelissa Jamora, Mohammod Hossain, Lava Kumar

“…Data were drawn from a national panel dataset of farm households (from 2013 to 2016 with about 4490 households) and field surveys of blast incidence and severity (from 2011 to 2012 in 10 agroecological zones). We augmented our model with Monte Carlo sampling to simulate distributions of parameters. …”

Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Smallholders’ Cropping Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa by Shaankua E. Lemarpe, Collins M. Musafiri, Joseph M. Macharia, Milka N. Kiboi, Onesmus K. Ng’etich, Chris A. Shisanya, Jeremiah Okeyo, Elizabeth A. Okwuosa, Felix K. Ngetich

“…We recommend that (i) while formulating soil N2O emissions mitigation approaches, in SSA, policymakers should consider site-specific targeting approaches, and (ii) more empirical studies need to be conducted in diverse agroecological zones of SSA to qualify various mitigation options on N2O emissions, yield-scaled N2O emissions, and N2O emission factors which are essential in improving national and regional GHG inventories.…”

Morfometric evaluation of young buffalo males in two Argentinean herds by Gabriela Alejandra Koza, José Luis Konrad, Jesús Alfredo Berdugo, Norma Beatriz Mussart, Josefina Hernando

“…It is concluded that exploring morphometric variables from an early age allows the follow-up of the growth and development of the buffalo males selected as future bulls, highlighting the significant correlation of scrotal circumference with the morphometric variables explored. Agroecological characteristics in the Itatí locality were more favorable, possibly translated into a greater body and isometric development of the testicles in the buffaloes of this area. …”
