Beef cattle have high market demand in Vietnam and the Dak Lak local government encourages the development of beef value chains. Household surveys were carried out in Cu Jut and Ea Kar districts and farming systems and production specialization were found to differ in each district. Ea Kar farmers were more specialized in livestock production while... |

Paul, Birthe; Muhimuzi, Fabrice; Bagicale, Samy; Wimba, Benjamin; Chiuri, Wanjiku; Amzati, Gaston; Maass, Brigitte, 2017, "Replication Data for: Towards an assessment of on-farm niches for improved forages in Sud-Kivu, DR Congo", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HBO4EC, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:MQWEEkpr5MFPCayLsZ9RvQ== [fileUNF]
Inadequate quantity and quality of livestock feed is a persistent constraint to productivity for mixed crop-livestock farming in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. To assess on-farm niches of improved forages, demonstration trials and participatory on-farm research were conducted in four different sites. Forage legumes included Canavalia brasili... |

Andriatsitohaina, Muthoni R, 2016, "Replication Data for: What influences transfer of training in an African agricultural research network?", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FP8FWL, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:zzI6ITcSjyPNDQc7J75XCQ== [fileUNF]
Purpose: A study was conducted to determine the extent to which transfer of training back to work among trainees from national partners of an international bean research network in Africa was perceived to have taken place; and to determine the factors that predicted transfer of training back to the job. Methodology/approach: Online data collection... |

International Center for Tropical Agriculture, 2016, "Characterization and preliminary evaluation of the tropical forages germplasm", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/VGOIIQ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:khWCyMYZmfywH/FoaJWK5Q== [fileUNF]
Germplasm of priority was established in CIAT-Quilichao for seed increase and for observations on the most important plant descriptors (plant form, growth habit, flowering time, perennially, etc.). Germplasm adaptation to the Quilichao environment was assessed in terms of: yield potential on a very acid, infertile Ultisol, including regrowth after... |

Rubyogo, Jean Claude; Magreta, Ruth; Kambewa, Dymon; Chirwa, Rowland; Mazuma, Elisa; Andrews, Martin, 2016, "Replication Data for: Using subsidised seed to catalyse demand-driven bean seed systems in Malawi", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/IHH6YO, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:+tSFtCWPWgxZea3wK8Uiwg== [fileUNF]
Through an innovative public-private partnership, Demeter Agricultural Limited, along with the Malawi National Bean Programme and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture, supplied 2,559 tons of certified bean seed between 2009 and 2012 through the government's Targeted Farm Input Programme. Farmers were satisfied with the variety supplied... |
Odokonyero, Kennedy; Acuña, Tina Botwright; Cardoso Arango, Juan Andrés; Jimenez, Juan de la Cruz; Rao, Idupulapati M, 2016, "Replication Data for: Fungal endophyte association with Brachiaria grasses and its influence on plant water status, total non-structural carbohydrates and biomass production under drought stress", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/RCASJZ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:h0Yj418WNiXgxed1UclixA== [fileUNF]
The purpose of the data was to gain an understanding of the effect of fungal endophyte on responses of selected Brachiaria cultivars under well-watered and drought conditions. The study was to answer the question as to whether symbiotic association of Brachiaria grasses with fungal endophyte (Acremonium implicatum synonym Sarocladium implicatum) im... |
Eitzinger, Anton; Läderach, Peter; Rodriguez, Beatriz; Fisher, Myles; Beebe, Stephen; Sonder, Kai; Schmidt, Axel, 2016, "Replication Data for: Assessing high-impact spots of climate change: spatial yield simulations with Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) model", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HEQQIH, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Data were collected by a simulation model to estimate yield changes due to climate change in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. We analysed the simulated yield changes to spatially classify high-impact spots of climate change across the four countries. We identified hot spots, adaptation spots and pressure spots for drybeans production... |
