Breeding for post emergence herbicides in Cool season food legumes
Cool-season food legumes (faba bean, chickpea and lentils) are mostly grown in rainfed dryland systems,
because of many virtues such as high protein content, atmospheric nitrogen fixation, and low carbon and
water foot ...
Pulses: an integral component of mitigation and adaptation under climate change
Modern agriculture is facing with great challenges. Growing world population will cause a "perfect storm" of food, energy and water shortages by 2050. Demand for food and energy will jump 70% and 100%, and for fresh water ...

Impact of Winter Chickpea Technology in Syria
In Syria, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L) traditionally is sown during spring on conserved soil moisture and its productivity is constrained mainly due to terminal drought and vascular wilt. The farmers plant chickpea in ...
Identifying and outscaling stress tolerant varieties of cereals, legumes, and vegetables through onfarm adaptive trials within the framework of CRP Dryland Systems
Salinity, heat, frost, and yellow rust are important constraints to winter wheat. Stress tolerant varieties of wheat and chickpea are increasing becoming available for cultivation. Wheat and mungbean varieties with suitable ...
Prevention of Transboundary Spread of Pests and Pathogens is Enhanced with Farmer’s Support
More than 1,300 pests and pathogens threaten crops globally, with an estimated economic impact of around $540 billion annually. The severe damage inflicted by introduced pests and pathogens represents a serious threat to ...
