Approaches to Total Factor Productivity Measurements in the Agriculture Economy
Productivity is defined as the efficiency of a production system, and as such would be a ratio of units of output per unit of input to the system (James and Carles, 1996). It is also defined as the production value (or ...
QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly
valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of
crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity
Array Technology"-based barley map has been
developed in the ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci of Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Leaf Spots in a Recombinant Inbred Line Population of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) from SunOleic 97R and NC94022
Peanut is vulnerable to a range of diseases, such as Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and
leaf spots which will cause significant yield loss. The most sustainable, economical and
eco-friendly solution for managing peanut ...
Price quality relationships in fodder trading in Niger with special regards to comparison of cowpea and groundnut haulms with concentrates, collected shrubs and grasses
Investigations of price-quality relationships in feed and fodder marketing
can yield crucial information about economic benefits from livestock
production, specific feed demand and supply, opportunities for engaging in
feed ...
Identification and validation of a core set of informative genic SSR and SNP markers for assaying functional diversity in barley
A 'core set' of 28 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and 28 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for barley was developed after screening six diverse genotypes (DGs) representing six countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, ...
Develop MAGIC and biparental populations following SSD (2) Phenotyping of populations for target traits
