Mission
To reduce hunger and poverty, and improve human nutrition in the tropics through research aimed at increasing the eco-efficiency of agriculture.
People
CIAT’s staff includes about 200 scientists. Supported by a wide array of donors, the Center collaborates with hundreds of partners to conduct high-quality research and translate the results into development impact. A Board of Trustees provides oversight of CIAT’s research and financial management.

Characterization labile and stable nitrogen
The permanganate oxidation procedure is easily performed and may help monitor large areas for their soil organic matter (SOM) quality and nitrogen (N) availability. Knowledge of the chemical characteristics of fractions that are lost or remain after oxidation will help explain results obtained by this method. We found that amino acid N contributed 22.7% to the permanganate-extractable N fraction (PEN) and amino sugar N 9. 1 %, but the remaining 68.2% of the PEN was of "unknown" N. Stable N had lower amounts of amino acid N (15.5%) and amino sugar N (6.2%).
