Expanding Chickpea in non-traditional Lowlands of Ethiopia
Frequent drought is affecting the mixed farming and agro-pastoral communities in Ethiopia. In
the Agro-pastoral lowlands, maize, sorghum and common bean are the key crops produced by
famers when rainfall is favorable. ...
Test of post-emergence herbicide for the control of weeds in food legumes in Sais region, Morocco
Legumes leave significant residual nitrogen in growing in association or in rotation. Among the problems
of food legumes, the unavailability of post-emergence herbicides for the control of weeds. The objective
of this study ...
Impact of improved legume varieties on technical efficiency of crop production in Ethiopia: Application of doubly-robust treatment effects model
This paper presents the impact of improved food legume varieties on technical efficiency and productivity of crop production in a farming system where mono-cropping of cereals is the norm. Data on 600 randomly selected ...
Walking on the wild side - expanding genetic diversity for future lentil breeding
Systematic use of genetic variability through judicious use of diverse germplasm maximizes genetic gain
per generation, and therefore, maximizes economic value of the crop. Sometime, however, the required
genetic variation ...
Virulence and molecular diversity within Ascochyta rabiei in Moroccan population and evaluation of genotypic stability on chickpea
Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei Lab.) is an economically important fungal disease on chickpea in Morocco, and in other parts of the world. Significant progress has been made in breeding chickpea for Ascochyta blight ...
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) yield potential and gap under supplementary irrigation in Ethiopia
The average national yield of faba bean is very low (1.7 t/ha) in Ethiopia compared to the yields reported in countries like Argentina (8.9 t/ha), Bulgaria (5.7 t/ha), United Kingdom (5.4 t/ha), Uzbekistan (4.8 t/ha), and ...
