New vegetation type map of India prepared using satellite remotesensing: Comparison with global vegetation maps and utilities
A seamless vegetation type map of India (scale 1: 50,000) prepared using medium-resolution IRS LISS-IIIimages is presented. The map was created using an on-screen visual interpretation technique and has anaccuracy of 90%, ...
Mapping Social Networks for Performance Evaluation of Irrigation Water Management in Dry Areas
Collaboration between actors is an important determinant of water governance, particularly in developing countries suffering from lack of institutional and organizational performances for water management. The objective ...
The cephalic labial gland secretions of two socially parasitic bumblebees Bombus hyperboreus (Alpinobombus) and Bombus inexspectatus (Thoracobombus) question their inquiline strategy
Social parasitic Hymenopterans have evolved morphological, chemical, and behavioral adaptations to overcome the sophisticated recognition and defense systems of their social host to invade host nests and exploit their ...
Yield and Cost Effects of Plot-Level Wheat Seed Rates and Seed Recycling Practices in the East Gojam Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia: Application of the Dose–Response Model
Previous studies investigated the effects of seed rates and seed recycling practices on the yield and yield-related variables. However, higher yield does not always guarantee cost-efficiency. This study aimed to investigate ...
Distribution of discretely scored descriptors in a pure line faba bean (Vicia faba L.) germplasm collection
Because of the partially insect cross-pollinated nature of faba bean (Vicia faba L.), ICARDA maintains two types of faba bean germplasm collections. The ILB (International Legume Faba Bean) collection consists of the ...
Amplified fragment length polymorphism among Rhynchosporium secalis isolates collected from a single barley field in Syria
AFLP markers were used to measure the amount and distribution of genetic variation among Rhynchosporium secalis isolates on a microgeographical scale in Syria. Forty isolates hierarchically sampled from a single barley ...
Potential storages and drivers of soil organic carbon and total nitrogenacross river basin landscape: The case of Mo river basin (Togo) inWest Africa
Quantification of carbon and nitrogen in soils in relation to ecological, landform and management factors
over river basins is essential to understand landscape ecosystem functions and efforts to manage land
restoration ...
Relationships of grain delta C-13 and delta O-18 with wheat phenology and yield under water-limited conditions
Stable carbon isotope composition (delta C-13) of dry matter has been widely investigated as a selection tool in cereal breeding programmes. However, reports on the possibilities of using stable oxygen isotope composition ...
Seedling and adult-plant stage resistance of a world collection of barley genotypes to stripe rust
Barley stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei (PSH) is one of the major
diseases in barley production regions worldwide. A total of 336 barley genotypes with
diverse genetic backgrounds targeted for ...
Variation in reproductive capacity and virulence on different genotypes and resistance genes of Triticeae, in the cereal cyst nematode species complex
Two sets of experiments in 1998 and 1999 studied the (a)virulence status of 14 populations of Heterodera avenae, and two populations each of H. filipjevi and H. latipons towards the resistance genes and genotypes of ...
