Nutritional alterations and damages to stored chickpea in relation with the pest status of Callosobruchus maculatus (Chrysomelidae)
The identification of substitute products for the replacement of wheat flours for paste and bread is a strategy which may help to overcome the wheat yield problems and to meet the huge consumption rates in Tunisia. In this ...
Genetic Variation for Tolerance to Herbicide Imazethapyr in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Identification of lentil genotypes tolerant to post-emergence herbicides and incorporation of herbicide tolerance in to high yielding varieties can prove a boon for developing effective integrated weed management strategy ...
QTLs for Orobanche spp. resistance in faba bean: identification and validation across different environments
Broomrapes are holoparasitic plants which infect faba bean (Vicia faba L.), among
other legumes. Here, we aimed to identify and validate quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
for broomrape resistance in the cross 29H × Vf136 and ...
Achievements of the national faba bean (viciafubal.) breeding program in Tunisia
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is the most important grain legume cultivated in Tunisia. In the northern favorable regions of the country, it play an important role in the wheat based cropping systems due to its ability to fox ...
Protective effects of three Artemisia essential oils against Callosobruchus maculatus and Bruchus rufimanus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and the extended side-effects on their natural enemies
This research aimed to find plant essential oils with a strong fumigant-specific toxicity effects against
Callosobruchus maculatus and Bruchus rufimanus, but which have lower side effects on their parasitoids
wasps Dinarmus ...
The problem of Orobanche in Tunisia: current state, specificity and main results of the national Faba bean breeding program to improve tolerance/resistance to Orobanche foetida and Orobanche crenata
In Tunisia legume crops suffer from several problems mainly broomrape attacks (Orobanche spp. and Phelipanche spp.) causing severe damages and
important yield losses mainly on faba bean. Among the several species reported ...
Distribution and genetic diversity of Orobanche in Tunisia
Abstract
Orobanche foetida is an obligate parasite which infects the roots of host legumes range in Tunisia and in particular the faba bean causing severe
damage to this crop. The use of molecular markers may be a suitable ...
On-farm quality (certified) seed production by seed prodcuer cooperatives or groups
Farmers from the seed producer cooperatives or groups are identified, trained and provided with seed to produce and market the seed as a group through formal and/or informal channels and return the seed in kind. Farmers ...
Orobanche foetida control in faba bean by foliar application of Benzothiadiazole (BTH) and Salicylic Acid
Orobanche foetida is considered as an important agricultural problem of faba bean production in Tunisia. The effect of
salicylic acid SA and 1, 2, 3-Benzothiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid, S-methyl ester (BTH) as foliar ...
Disease Resistance in Chickpea
Chickpea is a grain legume with valuable nutritional characteristics. It is a basic aliment in Asian countries such as India and Pakistan as well as a traditional ingredient in Mediterranean diets. Biotic stresses such as ...
