  1. Carbon Farming: Building Soils and Stabilizing the Climate

    Key Resource
    2015-07-23 Climate change will have a huge impact on the world’s poorest people. Crop yields have already gone down in the tropics and are projected to drop by 15-30% by 2080 in Africa, South Asia, and Central America (Hoffman 2013). Some countries could reach a 50% loss of agricultural productivity; in...

  2. Effect of Planting Density and Harvest Interval on the Leaf Yield and Quality of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) under Diverse Agroecological Conditions of Northern South Africa

    Abstract,International Journal of Agronomy, 2017 Smallholder livestock farmers who depend on natural communal grazing lands are particularly vulnerable to climate change as well as to food insecurity and should be encouraged to grow drought-tolerant fodder crops. Moringa oleifera is a highly...
     

  3. Nutrient Composition of Some Unconventional and Local Feed Resources Available in Senegal and Recoverable in Indigenous Chickens or Animal Feeding

    Abstract, Pakistan Journal of Nutrition, 2011 This study was carried out to assess the nutrient composition of some unconventional and local feed resources available in Senegal so as to use them as protein supplement sources in the diets of indigenous chickens to enhance their productivity. Ten...

  5. Creating an Optimum Potting Mixture for Resource-Constrained Growers in Thailand

    2020-01-01 In a tropical setting, growing seedlings can be difficult. A major factor of concern for nursery production is water logging (Zhu et al. 2007). During the rainy season, oversaturated soils can effectively suffocate root systems of a seedling by restricting flow of oxygen and other important...

  6. Soil Quality Assessment: Why and How

    2020-01-01 Soil quality, also known as soil health, is the capacity of the soil to function – how well it fills the roles we need it to, whether in a natural or managed ecosystem. A variety of measures are used to gauge soil health; although we can use these characteristics as indicators of soil quality,...

  7. Evaluating Moringa Oleifera as a Nutritious and Acceptable Food Fortificant

    Abstract, Current Developments in Nutrition, 2019 Moringa oleiferais an edible tropical plant with the potential to alleviate micronutrient deficiencies in low and middle income nations. This study addresses two barriers for the consumption ofM. oleiferaleaves: (1) inconsistencies between the...
     

  8. Alternative Germination Mixes for Starting Transplants

    2020-01-01 We at ECHO are sometimes asked what we recommend for a germination medium in situations where seeds or seedlings need to be started in pots or plastic sacks before going out to the field. This past summer, we conducted a trial at ECHO to make and evaluate potting mixes that could serve as...

  10. Eggplant Fruit Production Response to NPK and Organic Fertilizer Rates

    2020-01-01 This study, conducted at ECHO during the Summer of 2011, was carried out to compare eggplant fruiting response to varying rates of a standard mineral fertilizer versus 6 month old compost with 25% cow manure and 75% plant matter (evenly split between woody and green, leafy material). The high...
