Ethnobotanical Factors Influencing the Use and Management of Wild Edible Plants in Agricultural Environments in Benin
This study investigates how the socioeconomic status of local people interacts with cultural, botanical, and economic features of wild edible plants to shape the floristic richness and management options of these resources. ...
Comparative Evaluation of Inductively Coupled Plasma–Atomic Emission Spectroscopy and Colorimetric Methods for Determining Hot-Water-Extractable Boron in Soils
Boron (B) deficiency frequency is increasing in rainfed systems and hence the need to diagnose the deficiency. Colorimetric methods are still widely used in soil testing laboratories in India for measuring B. Little ...
Towards a rational use of African rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud.) for breeding in SubSaharan Africa
Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice) plays an important role in germplasm enhancement for their adaptation to different ecologies of upland, lowland, irrigated, mangrove and deep water. The genebank of AfricaRice contains over ...
Association mapping for soilborne pathogen resistance in synthetic hexaploid wheat
Soilborne pathogens such as cereal cyst nematode (CCN; Heterodera avenae) and root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus neglectus; PN) cause substantial yield losses in the major cereal-growing regions of the world. Incorporating ...
Soil aggregate stability under different landscapes and vegetation types in a semiarid area in northeastern Syria
The influence of landscapes and vegetation types on soil aggregate stability was studied at 55 sites in rangeland and 18 sites in cropland in northeastern Syria. For the measurement of soil aggregate stability, the wet-sieving ...
Irrigation Water Use Efficiency and Fann Size in Tunisian Agriculture: A Parametric Frontier Analysis Approach
In an economy such as Tmrisia where resources are scarce and opportunities to use new
technologies are limited, efficiency is a very important factor for productivity growth. Inefficiency studies
indicate the potential to ...
