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 ...
Screening for Cold Tolerant Cactus Species (Opuntia ficus-indica) for West Asia Region
The identification of the cold tolerant Opuntia species to increase their
cultivation in West Asia region where the cold winter conditions limit their
adaptation is the primary yet the most critical step. The International ...
Responsiveness of chickpea to climate change
Appropriate changes in the genetic options are needed to cope up with the changing climate and farming
system to ensure food security and sustainable cereal production for the ever growing populations in
developing world. ...
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 ...
Potential Shift in Dryland Cropping Systems in Middle East and North African Countries.
Agro-ecosystems are critical in the livelihoods of > 80% of rural communities in Middle East and North Africa. A shrinking natural resource base, increased land degradation and severe water scarcity impact food production ...
Anthroscape: A Holistic Landscape Based Approach for Mitigating Environmental Threats of 21st Century
Centuries are remembered with human achievements alike the bronze age, the iron age of archaic and the 20th century as the age of innovation. However, the 21st century will be remembered as the age of extinction due to ...
The role of governance in sustainable rangeland management
The management and rehabilitation of degraded rangelands are inherently complex in south
Mediterranean where state and tribal owned pastures are grazed commonly by the agro-pastoralists. The
prospect for increased ...
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 ...
The Lentil Genome – from the sequencer to the field
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris; genome size 4.3 Gb) plays a significant role in supporting
sustainable agriculture worldwide. Its nutrition value has also been recognized as part of the solution to
combat global ...
Development of Decadal National Land Cover Database for Jordan
The main objective of this study is to introduce the first consistent long term land cover database for Jordan. The Jordan National Land Cover Database (JNLCD) consists of four land cover maps for the years 1984, 1991, ...
