Broad bean stain virus: Identification, detectability with ELISA in faba bean leaves and seeds, occurrence in West Asia and North Africa, and possible wild hosts
During a survey of faba bean viruses in West Asia and North Africa a virus was identified as broad bean stain virus (BBSV) based on host reactions, electron microscopy, physical properties and serology. An antiserum to a ...
Evolution of Crop Water Productivity in the Nile Delta over Three Decades (1985-2015)
Estimating crop water productivity (CWP) for spatially variable climatic conditions in Egypt is important for the redistribution of crop planting to optimize production per unit of water consumed. The current paper aims ...
Genome-wide association analysis of chickpea germplasms differing for salinity tolerance based on DArTseq markers
Soil salinity is significant abiotic stress that severely limits global crop production. Chickpea
(Cicer arietinum L.) is an important grain legume that plays a substantial role in nutritional
food security, especially in ...
Returns to agricultural mechanization in Egypt: Lessons learned from innovation driven research
In light of both historical and contemporary (political) sensitivity on civil society movements, we chalk out a normative role for the Egyptian private sector, within contemporary systems of agricultural innovation, and ...
Economic assessment of some technologies used in irrigated agriculture and their impacts on farmer’s livelihoods: Case of the Egyptian salt-affected soils farms
Salinity is a continuous challenge in Egypt because of the dry climate, and more salt being carried by the Nile River 35 a result of pollution, water shortage, seawater intrusion and human practices. Accumulation of excessive ...
Genetic Variation for Tolerance to Herbicide Imazethapyr in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Identification of lentil genotypes tolerant to post-emergence herbicides and incorporation of herbicide tolerance in to high yielding varieties can prove a boon for developing effective integrated weed management strategy ...
Agricultural Productivity in the WANA Region
The interest of governments, international organizations, NGOs and the general public has recently been aroused by studies considering the use of existing agricultural technology, the use of innovations in such technology ...
Economic and food security benefits associated with raised-bed wheat production in Egypt
Countries in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region are dependent on imports of wheat to meet their food security
needs. Mechanized raised-bed wheat production is an effective means of increasing productivity and ...
Impact of climate change and agricultural practices on irrigation water requirements under Nile delta conditions
Agriculture in Egypt consumes about 80% of the available water resources. With an ever-increasing demand and a relatively fixed supply of fresh water, every drop of water should be treated as a drop of life. Consequently, ...
Ancient and modern DNA reveal dynamics of domestication and cross-continental dispersal of the dromedary
Dromedaries have been fundamental to the development of human societies in arid landscapes and for long-distance trade across hostile hot terrains for 3,000 y. Today they continue to be an important livestock resource in ...
