Wide range of genetic variabilrty for herbicide tolerance in Faba bean
Weeds have emerged as major constraint to faba bean productivity. A study was caried out to evaluate
faba bean lines to post-emergence herbicides with 210 g a.i.lha Metribuzin (photosynthesis inhibitor, PI), 82 ga.i.lha ...
Effect of sowing date and seed treatment on food legume insects
In Morocco food legume crops are attacked by a number of insect pests. Among the important pests are
Sitona weevil and Stem borer on faba bean and pea aphid on lentil. Seed treatment with systemic
insecticides is becoming ...
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. ...
Opportunities and limitations of multidimensional crop improvement in grain legumes to support increased productivity in mixed crop livestock systems
While rising demand for animal sourced food (ASF) in emerging and developing countries increases feed demand, shrinking natural resource base particularly arable land and water limit feed production. Consequently crop ...
Integrated pest management of food legume insect pests in North Africa, West and Central Asia
Food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean) are important crops in North Africa, West and Central Asia
(CWANA). However, their production is adversely affected by a number of insect pests such as chickpea
Leaf miner and Pod ...
Identification of faba bean lines tolerant to high dosage of Glyphosate
Orobanche'crenata' Forsk is a parasitic weed that invades faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in the North Africa, East Africa and the Middle East. Several control methods including chemital, mechanical, cultural and even induction ...
Innovation platforms: A novel tool for improving food legume productivity and farmer’s livelihood, and enhancing food security in Morocco
Food legumes (Faba bean, lentils, chickpea and pea) are important crops that come in rotation with
cereals in the rainfed regions of Morocco where the cereal/food legume cropping system predominates.
While these crops were ...
Management of chickpea pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner): use of biopesticides
Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is one of the most important insect pests worldwide. The larva feeds on
various important crops such as Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum. L),
chickpea (Cicer arietinum) ...
Investigation of the Impact of Stone Bunds on Erosion and Deposition Processes Combining Conventional and Tracer Methodology in the Gumara Maksegnit Watershed, Northern Highlands of Ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the most populous countries in Africa, with over 85% of the total
population dependent on agriculture. Massive deforestation in the past and missing soil and
water conservation (SWC) measures cause severe ...
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 ...
