STAR-FARM - Workshop Data: Co-construction of datasets dealing with agroecology practices in the Mekong Delta
No full textThe STAR-FARM Workshop, held on October 22–23, 2025, at Can Tho University, Vietnam, marked a key milestone in advancing international collaboration at the crossroads of agroecology, artificial intelligence (AI), and participatory science. Jointly organized by CIRAD, IRD, FAO, and Can Tho University, the event gathered experts from Southeast Asia and Europe to co-construct multilingual datasets and lexicons capturing agroecological practices and innovation processes in the Mekong Delta. Over two dynamic days, participants explored how AI-driven text mining and participatory methods could enhance access to and understanding of agricultural knowledge. Core activities included lexicon development, corpus annotation, evaluation of AI tools, and discussions on open-access strategies. Beyond its technical outputs, the workshop served as a vibrant forum for intercultural dialogue, debating key notions such as community-driven innovation, local knowledge systems, and the ethical use of AI in research. The workshop’s outcomes, particularly the creation of the STAR-FARM Lexicon and annotated corpora, lay the foundation for long-term cooperation, capacity building, and open science in the region. By blending technological innovation with participatory values, STAR-FARM exemplifies how AI can empower local communities and foster sustainable, inclusive agricultural transformation across the Mekong Delta and beyond
Intraguild predation between psyllophagous ladybird
No full textThis dataset compiles data related to intraguild predation among four species of psyllid-eating ladybirds found on La Réunion Island. The study was conducted to evaluate a biological control program against Acizzia uncatoides, an invasive psyllid species from Australia, using Harmonia conformis, a predatory ladybird not present in Réunion. The data are divided into two studies: one conducted in an olfactometer and the other in a petri dish choice experiment
Data and analysis for socio-economic and geographic factors of the digitalisation of agriculture in Indonesia
No full textData and analysis about Agriculture or Forestry (32), Digital (20), & Politics, Social, and Economy (20)
These data come from five different sources: Geospasial Untuk Negeri, the government central geospatial unit of Indonesia, Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan Republik Indonesia (Ministry of Environment and Forestry - Indonesia), Kementerian Pertanian - Republik Indonesia (Ministry of Agriculture - Indonesian Republic), 4) Badan Pusat Statistik (Center of Statistics - Indonesia), or variables calculated by the authors (see the Variables.txt file). From the dataset, we performed a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using R (see the R-script.txt file). The results of this PCA demonstrate that two dimensions structure the entire dataset: the opposition between Forestry and Agriculture, and the opposition between formality and informality. A third dimension also seems to play a role, which is infrastructure connectivity. Based on these results, it is also proposed to have 4 groups through clustering.(see pca's result.txt).
Based on these results, we propose a colorimetric methodology to represent the 34 provinces according to the first two dimensions (see the Color.Rdata file)

Dataset for Thresholds determination for key quality traits for acceptability using Consumer Testing (JAR), Instrumental, and QDA measurements of boiled cassava at NaCRRI: Kampala, Uganda.
No full textData was collected from ten contrasting cassava varieties, both landraces and hybrids representing good, medium, and poor varieties based on their characteristics. The varieties were harvested at full maturity. Hedonic/ overall and JAR tests were used during the evaluations. QDA and Instrumental measurements were also conducted which were then compared to determine thresholds for color and Texture following the procedures from https://doi.org/10.18167/agritrop/00778</a
Morphological and biological characteristics of Burara oedipodea (Swainson) (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) on Hiptage benghalensis (Malpighiaceae)
No full textHiptage benghalensis (L.) Kurz is a woody vine species belonging to the family Malpighiaceae, native to India, Southeast Asia, and China (POWO, 2024). Owing to its attractive and fragrant flowers, it has been introduced and grown as an ornamental plant in many parts of the world, and has subsequently become invasive in all introduced areas, including Réunion, Mauritius (Friedmann, 2011), northern Australia (Queensland) (Csurhes, 2016; Weeds of Australia, 2016), Florida and Hawaii (Randall, 2002; Starr et al., 2003), and the Seychelles (Senterre & Dine, 2022). This plant species has been listed among the world's 100 most invasive species, posing a significant threat to native biodiversity (IUCN-International Union for Conservation of Nature; ISSG-Invasive Species Specialist Group). Réunion Island (France) - a biodiversity hotspot of the world (Myers et al., 2000). On the island, the species forms impenetrable thickets; vines choke large trees, cover plant canopies, block light, and inhibit native vegetation growth, leading to the establishment of monospecific colonies (Ahmed et al., 2017; Tassin et al., 2006; E. Rivière, pers. comm., 2023), threatening rare native plants (Robert et al., 2015; Ahmed et al., 2017).
To manage H. benghalensis in Réunion, various control methods, including mechanical, chemical, and combined approaches, have been tested (Hivért, 2003). A similar management attempt was also conducted in Australia (Vitelli et al., 2009); however, these methods were proved to be unfeasible due to plant regrowth, high costs, labor intensity, and long-term ineffectiveness. Given these challenges, biological control has been considered a promising, sustainable, and environmentally friendly solution. Among many types, classical biological control (CBC) refers to the deliberate release of a non-native natural enemy to sustainably reduce the population of a specific pest over the long term (Eilenberg et al., 2001; Kenis et al., 2017), is one of the most widely applied strategies for managing invasive species (Meyers & Cory, 2017). Therefore, a CBC program was initiated in its native range, Vietnam, in 2022 to search for potential arthropods and microorganisms to manage this plant in Réunion (Lam et al., 2023). Surveys recorded various arthropods on H. benghalensis and other species of the genus Hiptage, among which larvae of Burara oedipodea (Swainson) were commonly found and caused significant damage.
Burara oedipodea belongs to the genus Burara, that comprises two species and five subspecies. It was first described in 1820. It has been repeatedly recorded feeding on H. benghalensis (Young, 1993; Swinhoe, 1912 in Chiba, 1995), all records coming from the plant’s native range (GBIF.org, 2025). Besides, it has also been recorded feeding on a single additional plant species, Combretum latifolium (Chiba, 1995), which belongs to the family Combretaceae. Given this limited host range, Burara oedipodea is classified as a narrow oligophagous species. This dataset presents morphological characteristics of B. oedipodea reared on H. benghalensis plants

Acoustic parameters calculated for bats captured in the Republic of Congo
No full textThe acoustic parameters of the acoustic calls were estimated automatically on each reference acoustic file using Kaleidoscope 5.6.2 (Wildlife Acoustics, Maynard, MA, USA):
- Fpmean: mean frequency of the spectrum within the selection (multiple acoustic call);
- Fppeak: frequency which has the highest (Peak) energy within the selection;
- Fmax: average maximum frequency of call pulses;
- Fc: frequency of the point at the end of the body of the call pulse which is defined as the flattest part (lowest absolute slope) of the call;
- Fk: average knee frequency of calls;
- Dur (ms): average duration of call pulses within the selection;
- Fmin: average minimum frequency of call pulses;
- Fmean: average frequency of echolocation pulses.
If an individual had several acoustic reference files, the acoustic parameters were estimated on the average values
