Returns to agricultural mechanization in Egypt: Lessons learned from innovation driven research
In light of both historical and contemporary (political) sensitivity on civil society movements, we chalk out a normative role for the Egyptian private sector, within contemporary systems of agricultural innovation, and ...
Impact of deficit irrigation with saline water on yield, soil salinization and water productivity of barley in arid regions of Tunisia
Field studies were conducted for two years to determine the effects of irrigation regimes with saline water (7.6 dS/m) on soil salinity, yield and water productivity of barley in the arid region of Tunisia. Barley was grown ...
Impact of No Tillage on physical proprieties of a clay soil in Central Morocco
Conventional agriculture practiced in Morocco based on recurring tillage, leads to soil degradation (erosion, fertility
diminution, low organic matter content, etc.). To face up to this situation, conservation agriculture ...
