Conversion Factors to Estimate Soil Salinity Based on Electrical Conductivity for Soils in Khorezm Region, Uzbekistan
This paper compares different procedures for soil salinity analyses to determine
electrical conductivity: saturated paste extract (ECe), xed soil:water
ratio extracts EC1:1 and EC1:5, and soil solution paste prepared with ...
Ascochyta blight of chickpea: present status and future priorities
A size-selected genomic library comprising 280,000 colonies and representing approximate to 18% of the chickpea genome, was screened for (GA)(n), (GAA)(n) and (TAA)(n) microsatellite-containing clones, of which 389 were ...
Sources of Cochliobolus sativus Inoculum Causing Spot Blotch under Warm Wheat Growing Conditions in South Asia
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the warm areas of South Asia is severely affected by spot blotch caused by Cochliobolus sativus. There are several inoculum sources suspected to harbor C. sativus during the off ...
Within-field wheat yield prediction from IKONOS data: a new matrix approach
This study demonstrates a unique matrix approach to determine within-field variability in wheat yields using fine spatial resolution 4 m IKONOS data. The matrix approach involves solving a system of simultaneous equations ...
Improving wheat stripe rust resistance in Central Asia and the Caucasus
Wheat is the most important cereal in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia). Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. ...
Trends in Small Ruminant Meat Production–Consumption Gaps in West Asia and North Africa: Implications for Intra-Regional Trade
This paper examines past trends in the small ruminant sector in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region; it explains the main driving forces of these trends and their implications for the livelihoods of the poor; and ...
Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Small Ruminant Breeds in Libya - Field Guide. التوصيف المظهري والجزيئي لسلالات المجترات الصغيرة في ليبيا – الدليل الحقلي
The Field Guide for Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Small Ruminant Breeds in Libya is intended to support animal scientists and technicians in collecting accurate data and applying appropriate sampling procedures ...
Understanding the relationships between genetic and phenotypic structures of a collection of elite durum wheat accessions
A collection of 191 durum wheat accessions representing Mediterranean Basin genetic diversity was grown in nine different environments in four countries, with productivities ranging from 0.99 to 6.78 t ha(-1). The population ...
Reconstructing an ancient bottleneck of the movement of the lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) into South Asia
Crop movement often leads to genetic bottlenecks. The lentil was domesticated in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Dissemination from highland Afghanistan into the Indo-Gangetic Plain, where it is of major importance today, ...
