Crop Yields under Climate Variability and No-Tillage System in Dry Areas of Morocco
In Morocco, the intensive use of agricultural land coupled with irregular precipitation is a serious threat to the country’s food security. Conservation agriculture especially no-tillage (NT) system has shown an important ...
Registration of ‘Krib’ new lentil variety in Tunisia
In Tunisia, lentil (Lens culinaris subsp.
culinaris Medik.) is cultivated in arid and semi-arid
areas. Terminal drought and heat stresses during the
end of cycle causes signifcant yield losses. Selec tion of short cycle ...
First Report Of Potato Virus Y In Potato In Tajikistan
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is widely grown as a staple food and cash crop in Tajikistan and is an important food security crop in the country. In June 2011, we conducted a survey of potatoes in farmers' fields in the ...
Using an electromagnetic sensor combined with geographic information systems to monitor soil salinity in an area of southern Turkey irrigated with drainage water
Soil salinity (ECe) monitoring is vital to the viability of large-scale irrigation schemes. In areas where soil or
water salinity is a potential constraint to sustainable cropping, rapid, reliable and cost-effective mapping ...
Sélection de lignées d’orge (Hordeum vulgare L.) pour leur résistance au barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) et évaluation de leurs performances agronomiques
Le virus de la jaunisse nanisante de l’orge ou « barley yellow dwarf virus » (BYDV) est connu comme étant le virus le plus important se répandant sur les céréales. En Tunisie, les contaminations peuvent dépasser 40 % sur ...
The genetic basis of durum wheat germination and seedling growth under osmotic stress
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is mainly produced under rainfed but often sub-optimal moisture conditions in the Mediterranean basin. A set of 114 durum wheat recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from ...
Phenotyping Of Traits Imparting Drought Tolerance In Lentil
Lentil is one of most important pulse crops in South Asia, and invariably encounters terminal moisture stress, leading to forced maturity and lower yield. Along and prolific root system is known to enhance capacity of the ...
Breeding programs for smallholder sheep farming systems: I. Evaluation of alternative designs of breeding schemes
Village- and central nucleus-based schemes were simulated and evaluated
for their relative bio-economic efficiencies, using Ethiopia’s Menz sheep as
example. The schemes were: village-based 2-tier (Scheme-1) and 1-tier
(Scheme-2) ...
Parklands for buffering climate risk and sustaining agricultural production in the Sahel of West Africa
In the Sahelian zone of West Africa, crops grown under a
discontinuous cover of scattered trees dominate many
landscapes and constitute the so-called parklands. These
systems reflect the ecological knowledge of the farmers ...
Genetic Gain for Yield and Allelic Diversity over 35 Years of Durum Wheat Breeding at ICARDA
The ICARDA’s durum wheat breeding program was established in 1977 in Aleppo, Syria, where it continued its work targeted to the drylands of the developing world until 2012, when it was forced to relocate. This movement ...
