Coastal saline soils are increasing year by year caused by climate change and human activities. Most of the coastal saline soils are idle due to their high salinity level and few crops can grow normally. Salinity tolerant legumes are naturally tolerant to salt, which can ecologically cover the coastal saline soil, enhance soil fertility by symbioti...
Resumen Antecedentes: La selva estacionalmente seca se puede recuperar usando plantaciones de restauración. La selección de especies para las plantaciones depende de su desempeño exitoso en las condiciones adversas de los sitios degradados. Hipótesis: Las especies leguminosas de estados sucesionales tempranos muestran mayor sobrevivencia en sitios ...
This study evaluates the effects of the inclusion of two different Leucaena species as a source of condensed tannins based on in vitro fermentation, methane production and post-ruminal protein supply in a diet based on Urochloa hybrid cv. Cayman CIAT BR02/1752 grass. Under in vitro conditions, Leucaena leucocephala CIAT 17263 and Leucaena diversifo...
Food allergy has been increasing worldwide.

The most prevalent allergens are milk, egg, wheat, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish and shellfish. The best studied legumes are peanuts and soybea...
In many parts of the foothills of the Orinoquía region of Colombia, cattle production takes place on poorly drained soils. The region is dominated by extensive grazing systems of Brachiaira humidicola cv. Humidicola, a grass with high adaptation potential under temporal waterlogging conditions. Inadequate management practices and low soil fertility...
In most Latin American countries, payment for ecosystem services (PES) can be a useful strategy for restoration and conservation of the environment, increasing productivity and promoting sustainable development in rural areas. Despite these plausible benefits, PES implementation can be challenging due to the contextual framework in which it takes p...
Resumen Introducción: El frijol es la leguminosa más cultivada del mundo. En México es el segundo cultivo más importante después del maíz y de importancia básica para el consumo humano. La selección de variedades tolerantes a déficit hídrico, constituye una estrategia para incrementar la estabilidad genética de los cultivos y disminuir las pérdidas...
