Coffee can be cultivated under various management schemes from heavy shade to full sun. Higher yields are generally achieved in full sun but often at the expense of smaller beans and greater requirements for water and nutrients. We compared growth, yield, bean size, and total value in a coffee agroecosystem in Hawaii grown in full sun or at two shade levels (30 and 50%) under Leucaena variety K...

despite the importance of forage quality to animal performance, the quality of barley as a feed and forage crop has not been taken into consideration as a selection criterion in its breeding programs. in order to map the genomic regions affecting barley forage quality, two experiments were conducted while employing 72 doubled haploid lines and their two parents (‘steptoe’ and ‘morex’), at the r...

There is a need to select high quality forage legumes that are acid soil-tolerant, drought resistant, and persistent under the close defoliation associated with intensive pasture systems in the humid tropics. A greenhouse pot study was conducted to determine forage legume seedling growth (10 week-old) and regrowth (5 weeks after clipping to an 8-cm residual stubble) responses of ‘Amarillo’ pere...

Abstract[1] Natural resources as a source of wealth can increase prosperity or impede economic growth.  Empirical studies with different specifications and data are also mixed on whether natural resources are curse or blessing. In fact, the variety of model specifications, measurements, and samples in the empirical literature makes it difficult to generalize the results. In this study, a growth...
