Yield gain due to fungicide application in varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) resistant and susceptible to leaf rust
In three independent experiments in Turkey and Kazakhstan, winter wheat germplasm with variable degrees of resistance to leaf rust was subjected to fungicide protection. The yield loss of genotypes susceptible to leaf rust ...
Soil salinity management on raised beds with different furrow irrigation modes in salt-affected lands
Mismanagement of irrigation water and the ensuing secondary salinization are threatening the sustainability of irrigated agriculture especially in many dryland regions. The permanent raised-bed/furrow system, a water-wise ...
Spearheading Development through Empowering Smallholder Farmers along Beef Cattle Value Chains: a Case of Goromonzi and Murehwa Districts, Zimbabwe
Smallholder beef subsector can potentially contribute to the nation’s development. The paper presents the
results of the value chain analysis of the beef sub sector in Zimbabwe. Data was gathered through cross
sectional ...
Proline content as a stress indicator to quantify conservation agriculture effect in wheat crop
The field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage, crop residue retention and crop rotationon proline concentration in flag leaves of wheat as an important factor influencing future grain quality and yield ...
Agronomic improvements can make future cereal systems in South Asia far more productive and result in a lower environmental footprint
South Asian countries will have to double their food production by 2050 while using resources more efficiently and
minimizing environmental problems. Transformative management approaches and technology solutions will ...
Effect of integrated management on Fusarium wilt progression and grain yield of chickpea in Syria
Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtend.: f. sp. ciceris (Padwick)
Matuo & K. Sato, is a major production problem in many countries. A study was
conducted to develop an integrated management of Fusarium ...

Development of qPCR assays for quantitative detection of Heterodera avenae and H. latipons
Twelve Heterodera species are considered of major economic significance in cereals, of which Heterodera avenae, H. latipons and H. filipjevi are the most important. Precise identification and quantification of these nematodes ...
Genotype by environment interaction effects on plant height of wheat genotypes carrying rht 8 dwarfing gene
Twenty-five bread wheat genotypes (G), earring Rht 8 dwarfing gene, selected from Facultative and Winter Wheat Observation Nursery for Semiarid Environments (FAWWON-SA) of International Winter Wheat Improvement Program ...
Economic trade-offs of biomass use in crop-livestock systems: Exploring more sustainable options in semi-arid Zimbabwe
In complex mixed crop-livestock systems with limited resources and biomass scarcity, crop residues play an important but increasingly contested role. This paper focuses on farming systems in the semi-arid areas of Zimbabwe, ...
