Est organisateur de (rdau:P60670): Breeding to develop a purple sweetpotato for the Virgin Islands; Evaluation of banana and plantain (Musa spp.) accessions tolerant to black sigatoka disease in Dominica, Guyana, St-Lucia and St-Vincent and the Grenadines; How marker-assisted breeding of Musa balbisiana genitors devoid of infections endogenous banana streak virus sequences contributes to pesticides-free agro ecological babana farming systems; Greenhouse evaluation of sagassum seaweed as a potting medium for vegetables; Mulching effects of fresh Sargassum Seaweed on soil properties and plant growth; Potential for use of Sargasum Mulch in Sweet Potato production; Fertigating lettuce (Lactuca sativa L..) using compost tea; A germination bioassay was developed to screen for potential phytotoxicity of soil amendment products from organic waste recycling. In phase 1, nine soil amendment products were applied as mulches on 3- to 5-week-old tomato seedlings. Using lettuce as the test species, a laboratory germination test was developed in phase 2 with aqueous extracts from a non-phytotoxic and a phytotoxic product identified in phase 1. Diluted extracts were applied to lettuce seeds sown on filter paper in petri-dishes and germination was monitored for 5 days, confirming the results from phase 1. In phase 3, the bioassay developed in phase 2 was used to test three previously untested local products and one imported product. Results obtained in phase 3 were confirmed using the mulch test. Hence, the germination bioassay can be a useful tool for quality control in the production of soil amendment products from organic waste recycling.; Evaluating the effect of vesticular-arbuscular mycorrhizae on tomato plantgrowth and production; Applying C-13 techniques in exploring the carbon sequestration potential of limed acid soils fromt Trinidad.; A preliminary study into the effect of Celmanax on milk composition of Dairy Cows.; Implementing cropping systems to improve sustainable agriculture in the tropics and subtropics; Un système d'agroécologie et d'agroforesterie innovant en Guadeloupe; Methodology of participatory plant breeding (PPB) in Cuba
