Assessment of long-term barley–legume rotations in a typical Mediterranean agro-ecosystem: grain and straw yields
Traditional Mediterranean rainfed cereal/fallow systems are being replaced by cereal monoculture due to land-use pressure. Food or forage legumes in rotation with cereals are an alternative sustainable cropping system. ...
Present status of some virus diseases affecting legume crops in Tunisia, and partial characterization of Chickpea chlorotic stunt virus
Field surveys were conducted in Tunisia during the 2005-2006, 2006-2007 and 2009-2010 growing seasons to identify viruses which produce yellowing, reddening and/or stunting symptoms of chickpea, faba bean and pea crops. ...
Management practices for improving water productivity in the Dasht-e-Azadegan
Wheat is the main cultivated crop in the LKRB (mainly the Dashte- Azadegan plain). Its average yield is 1500 kg/ha (Agricultural Statistics 2004). Irrigation management practices are traditional and the region suffers from ...
A protocol for the conceptualisation of an agro-ecosystem to guide data acquisition and analysis and expert knowledge integration
Innovative agricultural systems need to combine the production of goods with the provision of environmental
services. When agronomists analyse or design multifunctional agro-ecosystems, they thus need
to include knowledge ...
Livestock and Societies: Multiple Roles of Livestock in Tropical Countries; Elevages et sociétés : les rôles multiples de l'élevage dans les pays tropicaux
Due to its ability to develop in confined spaces or in harsh agro-ecological environments, livestock is important for a wide variety of social groups in almost all geographical locations. Livestock is part of many economic ...

Survivability of lambs under village management condition: The case around Jimma, Ethiopia
The influence of non-genetic factors on lamb survivability at various ages up to 360 days was studied under village management condition in Jimma, Ethiopia. The overall least squares means of lamb survival rate was 89.0 ...
Establishment of a cashmere goat breeding scheme in Baft, Iran
The formation of these nucleus schemes is a useful "rehearsal“ for genetic improvement
programs, and an opportunity to train operators, consolidate breed or strain genotypes while achieving genetic progress.
Involvement Of Peduncle Elongation, Anther Dehiscence And Spikelet Sterility In Upland Rice Response To Reproductive-Stage Drought Stress
Reproductive stage drought stress results in dramatic reduction of spikelet fertility and grain yield of upland rice (Oryza sativa L). The hypothesis investigated here is that spikelet sterility under pre-anthesis drought ...
