Land Reforms in Cuba: First Empirical Assessment on Productivity Using Crop‐Level Panel Data
Economics of Transition and Institutional Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Land reforms implemented in Cuba since 2008 have aimed to increase agricultural production by distributing state‐owned idle lands with land‐use rights. The reforms restricted farmers with the rights from cultivating perennial and capital‐intensive crops.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

Diet, Fruit and Vegetable Intake, and Nutritional Status in Fiji: A Scoping Review
Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Increasing fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake is essential for transitioning toward healthier, more sustainable diets. To design effective intervention programmes to promote F&V intake, it is crucial to understand intake levels and dietary patterns across different demographic groups as well as populations' nutritional status.

Risk assessment of spreading Banana streak viruses in the Dominican Republic through large scale cultivation of plantain cultivars and hybrids harbouring infectious eBSVs. [O.33] [PDF]
, 2015 Most cultivated plantains are interspecific cultivars or hybrids: they harbour Musa acuminata (A) genomes and Musa balbisiana (B) genomes which hosts infectious endogenous Banana streak virus sequences (eBSVs).

The competitiveness of different herbs in grass/clover pastures. [PDF]
, 2009 On Danish dairy farms, herbs are often sown together with grass/clover, but the amount of herbs in the sward is often limited. The competitiveness of different herbs is therefore examined over three years (2007-2009) in grazed grass/clover pastures on ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rhizosphere harbours critical plant‐herbivore interactions often mediated by small lipophilic molecules (SLMs). Despite the agricultural importance of many soil‐dwelling insects, surprisingly little is known about chemically mediated belowground crop‐pest interactions. Root and shoot herbivores can influence these interactions by modifying
