Cryptic Diversity Hidden within the Leafminer Genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
Leafminer insects of the genus Liriomyza are small flies whose larvae feed on the internal tissue of some of the most important crop plants for the human diet. Several of these pest species are highly uniform from the ...
Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Plan for Modernization of Crop Breeding Programs in Arab Countries
This document provides an overview of the monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) plan for the project, “Modernization of Crop Breeding Programs in Arab Countries.” Implementation of MEL in research for development ...
User-friendly and Integrated Simulation Tool for Support Sustainable Land Management Planning in Tunisian Landscape. Working paper (accepted for the Springer Nature
Sustainable land management (SLM) at scale is essential for achieving land degradation neutrality and improving agricultural livelihoods. In practice, promoting SLM at watershed scale faces many decision-making problems ...
Selection of Lentil (Lens culunaris L.) Lines Grown at Different Sowing Dates for Their Precocity and Their Agronomic Performance under Semi-arid Climate of Tunisia
Background: In Tunisia, water deficit and heat stress during the end of cycle are more frequent and causes significant yield losses. Selection of short cycle lines could be a good solution to escape the effect of heat and ...
Assessing Soil Erosion Hazards Using Land-Use Change and Rill Erosion Frequency Ratio Method: Case Study of Rmel Watershed, Northern Tunisia
This study aims to identify the vulnerable landscape areas using rill erosion frequency ratio and land-use change associated soil erosion hazard by employing geo-informatics techniques and the revised universal soil loss ...
Pre-emptive chickpea pre-breeding for biotic stresses and germplasm enhancement for abiotic stresses 2018 Progress Report (IP Register)
This annual report presents progress in terms of registering IP and genotyping data (DArT and SNP) for several genotypes identified for biotic and abiotic stress to salinity in 2016.
Effect of Benzothiadiazole and Salicylic Acid Resistance Inducers on Orobanche foetida Infestation in Vicia faba
The broomrape or orobanche (Orobanche foetida) is considered as an important agricultural problem of faba bean (Vicia faba var. minor) production in Tunisia. The effect of salicylic acid (SA) and benzothiadiazole (BTH) on ...
Field Assessment of the Mass Trapping Technique for the Control of the Chickpea Leaf Miner Liriomyza cicerina
This work evaluated the chickpea leaf miner Liriomyza cicerina mass trapping technique as an alternative to insecticide spraying. A trap density of 2000 per ha was used. Trials were conducted in Beja during 2015 and 2016 ...
How to keep it adequate: A protocol for ensuring validity in agent-based simulation
There has so far been no shared understanding of validity in agent-based simulation. We here conceptualise validation as systematically substantiating the premises on which conclusions from simulation analysis for a ...
Viruses representing two new genomovirus species identified in citrus from Tunisia
Using a high-throughput sequencing approach, we identified four genomoviruses (family Genomoviridae) associated with a sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) plant collected in Tunisia. The ssDNA genomes of these genomoviruses, ...
