“…Any deviation in these conditions will lead to adverse effect on plant productivity at different levels started from mild decline in productivity reaching to classification of affected region as a marginal (Daryanto et al 2017;Donfouet et al 2017;He et al 2017). In addition, climate changes and man-made interventions lead to sharp decline in fertile soil and suitable conditions for food crop production (Khan and Akhtar 2015;Chen et al 2017). Also traditional methods used for irrigation, fertilization and other agricultural processes may increase this problem due to the accumulation and uncontrolled transformation of added materials (Bellarby et al 2016;van der Laan et al 2017).…”

“…Incidencia (%) 100 %-FQ ± (Ballesteros et al, 2015), el fósforo favorece la fijación biológica del nitrógeno, la calidad y el rendimiento de los cultivos, así como la resistencia de las plantas a las enfermedades (Khan et al, 2009). Por el contrario, la deficiencia de este nutriente provoca trastornos fisiológicos (Fernández, 2007).…”

Background: In Mexico, rice crop production is limited by phytopathogenic fungi that cause diseases, some of which increase their incidence and severity when conditions such as high humidity and nutrient deficiency or excess occur. Objective: Determine the incidence and severity of the damage caused by phytopathogenic fungi in rice lines subjected to conditions of 100 % and 10 % nitrogen and phosphorous fertilization. Methodology: The experiment was carried out in the spring-summer 2021 cycle, at the Ébano-INIFAP Experimental Site, 136 rice lines were used and two treatments (100 % and 10 % nitrogenous and phosphorous chemical fertilization), were morphologically identified. phytopathogenic fungi and the incidence, severity, plant height and fresh biomass were measured. Results: Higher incidence and severity (27.5 % and <4 % respectively) were obtained in the rice lines subjected to the 10 % nitrogenous and phosphorous fertilization treatment. In both treatments Chiclayo 61 was identified as tolerant to damage from Alternaria sp., Curvularia geniculata and Fusarium equiseti, presenting incidence and severity of symptoms between 3.3 to 36.7 % and <1.5 %, respectively. On the other hand, plant height and fresh biomass showed higher values in the treatment with higher fertilization.Implications: High temperature and precipitation and nutritional deficiency increase damage by phytopathogenic fungi. Conclusion: The incidence and severity of the damage caused by Alternaria sp., Curvularia geniculata and Fusarium equiseti, in the crop increases when there are conditions of nutritional deficiency, in addition, nutrient-deficient plants have lower height and fresh biomass.

“…However, the evidence presents a largely empirical approach and we often perceived a seeming disconnection between policy, research, and practice. Although extensive empirical literature exists on the impacts of climate change, policymakers do not systematically use the evidence available (Khan & Akhtar, 2015). A further problem is that while many studies identify barriers to adaptation in farming, the appreciation of their interactions and impacts remains scarce.…”

The literature on smallholder farming and climate change adaptation (CCA) has predominantly investigated the barriers to and determinants of farmer uptake of adaptation interventions. Although useful, this evidence fails to highlight the changes or persistence of adaptation responses over time. Studies usually adopt a narrow focus on incremental actions that provide limited insights into transformative adaptation pathways and how fundamental shifts in policy can address the root causes of vulnerability across different sectors and dimensions. Drawing on an evidence synthesis commissioned by the International Fund for Agricultural Development’s Independent Office of Evaluation, this chapter outlines how lessons from CCA interventions can be transferred via three learning domains that are essential for transformational change: scaling-up (in its multiple forms), knowledge management, and the human-environment nexus. We discuss the implications of our findings on monitoring, evaluation, and learning, highlighting the challenges that evaluators may face in capturing (a) the persistence or durability of transformational pathways, (b) the complexity of “super-wicked” problems, and (c) the relevance of context-dependent dynamics, within a landscape setting. We also address the contribution of evidence reviews to contemporary debates around development policy linked to climate change and agriculture, and the implications and value of such reviews to provide independent scientific rigor and robustness to conventional programmatic evaluations.
