Procedures for Afghanistan Seed Certification Agency (Draft)
Seed is the basic and vital input for a successful agriculture production. Therefore it is very much essential to maintain its purity and quality through various stages of seed production. The government of Afghanistan has ...
Managing rangelands: promoting sustainable native tree species: Acacia cyanophylla: a multipurpose tree mainly used for reforestation of degraded landscapes
Acacia cyanophylla (also known as Acacia saligna) is one of three priority multipurpose tree species for arid and semi-arid zones. It is well adapted to semi-arid and sub-humid regions, and is a high potential species for ...
Improvement of pearl millet module in APSIM. Characterization of the main water stress patterns within pearl millet production agroecologies in A1, A, B zone (focus on A1&A)
Since tillering is one of the key environmental adaptive mechanism of sorghum&pearl millet (e.g. vanOosterom et al 1998, Jordan et al 2003, Borrell et al 2015), availability of a dynamic tillering module is a crucial feature ...
Basic research on deciphering the crops water use components (e.g. TE, canopy growth, TR&VPD relation, role of aquaporins etc.)
The relevance of phenotyping pipeline as a support for breeding for water limited environments has been validated through QTL co-localization technique on the example of pearl millet fine-mapping population (simultaneously ...
Crop ecology, cultivation and uses of cactus pear
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges the world must meet today and in the future. Prolonged droughts and desertification are among the issues faced by many countries, especially in Africa and Asia, where the ...
Restoring Degraded Rangeland Ecosystem In Jordan: Optimizing Mechanized Micro-Water Harvesting Using Rangeland Hydrology And Erosion Model (RHEM)
Jordan’s rangelands, the so called Badia, home of the Bedouins, are threatened through a combination of over-exploitation of its ecosystem services and a changing climate towards drier seasons coupled with erratic rainfalls. ...
Molecular detection and phylogenetic analyses of Toxoplasma gondii from naturally infected sheep in Northern and Central Tunisia
Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by the parasitic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. It can infect all warm-blooded vertebrate species and causes abortions and birth defects in pregnant women and pregnant ewes. The ...
Phenotypic differences in adaptation to combined stress of inadequate P supply and drought (BASE 80 trial)
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
Measuring rangeland degradation for greater resilience
Non-destructive, accurate, and more rapid alternatives are urgently needed. One potential alternative, developed by scientists at ICARDA and Oregon State University, uses image processing software to determine rangeland ...
Agricultural water productivity for irrigated areas in 2002
Agricultural Water Productivity (WPM) (kg/m3) was determined for each pixel by dividing crop productivity (kg/ha) raster layer by seasonal crop water use in terms of actual evapotranspiration (m3/ha) raster layer.The WPM ...
