Improving the date production chain in the Moroccan oases through small mechanization inputs to support the governmental development strategies
Moroccan oases as other Saharan oases are a highly artificial ecosystem that have proved to be capable
of sustaining agriculture under arid climatic conditions for centuries, though it has suffered a strong
degradation ...
Cactus Crop (Opuntia Ficus-Indica) to Rehabilitate Rangelands in Semi-Arid Regions of Tunisia
The area of rangelands in Tunisia is estimated at 4.5 million hectares, or 27.4% of the total area of the country. Currently rangelands contribute 10 to 25% of livestock feed requirements, compared to 65% in the sixties, ...
Grassland/rangelands based livestock production systems: Options and trade-offs between productivity and GHG emissions reductions
The global warming is expected to further contribute to the process of rangeland degradation as a result of mis-management and may have significant adverse impacts on range species under high CO2 emissions scenarios. Already ...
Sustaining Moroccan Oasis Agricultural System through Small Mechanization Inputs
Saharan oases can be highly artificial ecosystems, capable of sustaining agriculture under arid climatic conditions; the traditional
system requires some degree of collective management for plants, soil and water but has ...
Responses of differential barley genotypes to Moroccan isolates of Pyrenophora teres f. teres
Barley net blotch, caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt), is one of the most important foliar
diseases in Morocco. The disease causes appreciable yield losses under favorable environmental
conditions. To identify ...
Morphological characterization of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) accessions from the collection held at Agadir, Morocco
The North Africa region falls under arid and semi-arid climate and it is considered as a hot spot for climate change. To face feed shortage, increase income of the rural poor and to mitigate the effect of climate change, ...
Crop breeding for the development of climate resilient crops: Approaches at ICARDA
Crop production has been challenged by abiotic and biotic constraints since its inception. However, the magnitude and intensity of these stresses are increasing dramatically due to climate change causing recurrent droughts, ...
Genome-wide association study of stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei) resistance in a world collection of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Stripe rust (Puccicina striiformis f.sp. hordei) (PSH) is one of the major diseases that causes significant yield losses of barley (Hordeium vulgare L.) worldwide. Frequent breakdown of resistance genes and emergence of ...
Can Livestock Contribute to the Ecological Intensification of the Agriculture in the Oasis: A Case Study from the Drâa Valley?
Recent developments in the global agriculture have been characterized by the emergence of the concept of ecological intensification, as a means to decrease the use of inputs and their impacts on the environment, while ...
