Correlation between the Chemical and Genetic Relationships among Thymus saturejoides Genotypes Cultured under in vitro and in vivo Environments
In this study, the in vitro and in vivo essential oil (EO) composition and genetic variability in six micropropagated genotypes of Thymus saturejoides COSS., a Mediterranean medicinal and aromatic plant, were analyzed by ...
Improving Agricultural Extension Systems for Wider Adoption of Technologies: Project highlights and main objectives
This introduction on the project inception workshop summarizes the project highlights and main objectives of the project Designing effective Extension Service Delivery Systems for Enhancing Wider Adoption of Agricultural ...
Measurement of the aboveground biomass of some rangeland species using a digital nondestructive technique
Plant biomass is usually assumed to be positively correlated with canopy cover. Measurements of
canopy cover can now be easily and precisely made through image processing of high-resolution
digital photography. This study ...
Discrimination of maize crop with hybrid polarimetric RISAT1 data
Microwave remote sensing provides an attractive approach to
determine the spatial variability of crop characteristics. Synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) image data provide unique possibility of
acquiring data in all weather ...
Project Final Report: Optimising Subsidiary Crop Applications in Rotations (OSCAR)
The overall objective of the project OSCAR was to be of use for, and improve sustainability in low- input, organic, and conventional farming systems. The research built on centrally planned multi- environment and long-term ...
Climate, soil and land-use based land suitability evaluation for oilpalm production in Ghana
tIn the past decade, oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) has become the world’s most important oil crop.The large demand for palm oil has resulted in a rapid expansion of oil palm cultivation across the globe.Because of the ...
Save and Grow in practice. Maize, rice, wheat: A guide to sustainable cereal production
This guide describes the practical application of FAO’s ‘Save and Grow’ model of sustainable crop production intensification to the world’s key food security crops: maize, rice and wheat. With examples from Africa, Asia
and ...
Addressing dry season feeding challenges in Mali by Mobile Choppers
Key research activities: Mechanized power and its role in feeding both humans and animals more efficiently have long been neglected
in West African agriculture. ICRISAT along with its partners are taking corrective action. ...
Selection of new high yield potential bread wheat lines resistant to Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), in Morocco
Wheat (Triticum sp.) is the main staple food of the Moroccan population. However, the
crop is attacked by several pests and diseases. Hessian fly is the most serious pest, causing
an average yield loss of 30% yearly. In ...
Enhancing the performance of regional land cover mapping
Different pixel-based, object-based and subpixel-based methods such as time-series analysis, decision-tree, and different supervised approaches have been proposed to conduct land use/cover classification.However, despite ...
