Effects of surface and subsurface drip irrigation regimes with saline water on yield and water use efficiency of potato in arid conditions of Tunisia
Field experiments were conducted on a sandy soil during spring of 2009
and autumn of 2010 in southern Tunisia for evaluating the effects of two drip
irrigation methods and three irrigation regimes on soil moisture and ...
Diverse and resilient agro-pastoral systems: a common goal for the Mediterranean regions
The potential of agriculture to maintain or even further intensify production to meet the food and fibre
needs of increasing populations without degrading the capacity of the resource base is a major concern worldwide.

Inception Workshop for Enhancing Sustainability and Fodder Production of Lowland Pastures through Integrated Alley Cropping & Conservation Agriculture in Arid Agropastoral Ecosystems in Jordan, Yemen and Tunisia
Each participating country presented its experience in dealing with subject matter. A member of each team presented a power point with the group. During the meeting each country developed its work plan which then was ...
Corn Yield and Water Use Efficiency Under Contrasting Irrigation Application Methods: An Aquacrop Study Contrasting Subsurface Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation Methods.
Grain corn (Zea mays, L.) is sensitive to soil water availability, which can be influenced by irrigation application method. Four facts
motivate deficit irrigation of corn in this region. First, declining Ogallala aquifer ...
IMPROVING SEED GERMINATION OF FOUR SAVANNAWOODLAND SPECIES: EFFECTS OF FIRE-RELATED CUES AND PROLONGED SOAKING IN SULPHURIC ACID
A study was carried out to
investigate the effects of fire related cues (heat and smoke) and sulphuric acid treatments on the germination
of four woody savanna species, namely, Terminalia avicennioides, Piliostigma thonningii, ...

Characterisation and mapping of gene Lr73 conferring seedling resistance to Puccinia triticina in common wheat
A gene conferring seedling resistance to Puccinia triticina was mapped to chromosome 2BS in the wheat Morocco. The gene was shown to be distinct and was therefore designated Lr73.
Abstract
The wheat genotype Morocco, ...
Growing More Olives with Less Water
Despite the importance of olive
production in Morocco and Syria,
the absence of modern production
methods such as irrigation prevent
the sector from reaching its full
potential. Although widespread
water-scarcity in North ...
