Crop Adaptation and Improvement for Drought-Prone Environments
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Long Description:
This book focuses on three important elements in the development of cereal and legume crops in semi-arid West Africa. The first section illustrates the socioeconomic factors that affect the food system for these crops and contains an overview of crop production and consumption in the region. Then, important inputs that affect system productivity are presented: preferences for new seed varieties, yield response to fertilizer, counterfeit herbicides, climate information, and the way farmers develop expectations about the weather events that shape cropping outcomes. The final chapter of section one is dedicated to understanding urban consumer preferences for processed food products derived from pearl millet. The second section addresses the state of the art of phenotyping and the modeling of crop adaptation to dryland farming systems. Chapters in section two focus on the regional network for phenotyping, high throughput phenotyping in field situations, root architectures, and crop ideotypes. In addition, empirical evidence is presented on root and soil interactions and the effectiveness of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs to assess sorghum physiology. Finally, the third section investigates the genetic diversity and improvement of dryland crops. Chapters in this section focus on biodiversity and agricultural system sustainability, orphan crops such as fonio, and the utilization of a regional germplasm collection in the improvement of cowpea, groundnut, pearl millet, and sorghum.

Crop Wild Relatives and their Use in Plant Breeding
Unrestricted Use
Public Domain
Rating
0.0 stars

Food production has advanced from the original form where humans gathered food from the wild, to cultivation and selection of wild plants (landraces), and further to modern-day plant breeding of new varieties and cultivars with high quality, yields, and resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Food crops have been derived from wild plant species (crop wild relatives) from throughout the world and are now cultivated in locations that may be far from their original sources. Here, we provide information and illustrations about where food crops originated and we highlight the important work of the Russian Geneticist Dr. Nikolai Vavilov, who introduced the concept of “centre of origin” for crop plants and encouraged the conservation and use of crop wild relatives for plant improvement.

This open textbook places emphasis on the design of a process pipeline for continuous development of new improved cultivars as a means to implement the cycle of crop improvement. Essential topics in New Line Development and New Line Evaluation are addressed, such as choice of parents, creation of progeny, and evaluation and selection of progeny. Students learn to design a process pipeline to produce improved cultivars that meet a specific product target which represents stakeholders’ needs.
Each of the books in the PBEA series comes with a section in its back matter titled "Applied Learning Activities" which includes additional content aligned to each chapter such as handouts and worksheets, csv files, code for statistical analysis in R, and recommended readings.

Cultura do cacau na Amazônia paraense: implantação, manejo e consórcio com espécies nativas
Only Sharing Permitted
CC BY-NC-ND
Rating
0.0 stars

O presente livro é resultado do mestrado profissional do Programa de pós-graduação em Rede Nacional para Ensino das Ciências Ambientais (PROFCIAMB) da Universidade Federal do Pará. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida através de um curso de capacitação sobre a importância ambiental e socioeconômica dos sistemas de produção de cacau ofertado aos alunos do curso técnico em agropecuária da Escola Comunitária Casa Familiar Rural de Uruará – CFRU. Durante esse curso, notou-se a dificuldade dos alunos em buscar informações sobre a cacauicultura e as principais árvores que são utilizadas como sombreamento e a relevância desse sistema produtivo. O livro tem como público alvo os alunos do curso técnico em agropecuária das Escolas Casa Familiar Rural – CFRs, professores, profissionais de extensão rural e produtores rurais.

O primeiro capítulo trata do conhecimento sobre as principais práticas de manejo nas lavouras cacaueiras. Para fundamentá-lo, foram utilizadas publicações de autores vinculados a Comissão Executiva de Planejamento da Lavoura Cacaueira – CEPLAC, que pesquisam sobre a cacauicultura há mais de 50 anos no Brasil.

Durante o curso de capacitação, foi realizado um levantamento das principais espécies que são utilizadas pelos produtores do município de Uruará como sombreamento das lavouras de cacau. Além disso, houve um questionamento aos produtores sobre a importância ambiental e socioeconômica das espécies plantadas. Foi realizada a identificação das espécies encontradas e as 20 mais abundantes foram selecionadas para compor o capítulo 2 desse livro.

O segundo capítulo apresenta 20 espécies florestais nativas da Amazônia para compor o sistema de produção de cacau, tendo como principal função o sombreamento. Além disso, informações são fornecidas para que os produtores possam complementar a renda da família com a venda de produtos como: frutos, sementes, óleos e madeira. Além disso, para aumentar a produção, informações como diversificar as
espécies no sistema de produção de cacau, trazer recursos para a propriedade como madeira para construção civil e rural na propriedade, alimento para a família e animais de criação, e uso de plantas medicinais são fornecidos. Em vista para proteger, conservar e aumentar a abundância das espécies nativas que são utilizadas no sombreamento do cacau, informações sobre risco de extinção e função ecológica também foi fornecida.

O livro possui função didática e pode ser utilizado nos cursos voltados à agricultura e produção cacaueira. Também servem de apoio e conhecimento para professores, profissionais na área de agropecuária e produtores de cacau que busquem ampliar seus conhecimentos.
