A Human Machine Hybrid Approach for Systematic Reviews and Maps in International Development and Social Impact Sectors
The international development and social impact evidence community is divided about the use of machine-centered approaches in carrying out systematic reviews and maps. While some researchers argue that machine-centered ...
Overcoming constraints of scaling: Critical and empirical perspectives on agricultural innovation scaling
Scaling is a ubiquitous concept in agricultural research in the global south as donors require
their research grantees to prove that their results can be scaled to impact upon the livelihoods
of a large number of beneficiaries. ...
Comparative toxicity of different chemical and biological insecticides against the scale insect Dactylopius opuntiae and their side effects on the predator Cryptolaemus montrouzieri
The contact toxicity of various chemical and biological pesticides for the first and second instar nymphs and adults of the Opuntia cochineal scale insect Dactylopius opuntiae and the predator ladybird Cryptolaemus ...
In vitro New Approaches for Shortening of Generation Cycles and Faster Breeding of Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Flowering is a complex process regulated by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grows as long day plant under natural conditions with single breeding cycle per annum. There ...
Two years old peach trees intercropped with a grass mixture can grow through a lithic discontinuity to access water the grass cannot
The hypothesis of niche complementarity for the use of soil resources is crucial for the performance of agroforestry systems. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that roots of 2 years old peach trees intercropped with grass ...
Frequency of mutations associated with fungicide resistance and population structure of Mycosphaerella graminicola in Tunisia
The occurrence of fungicide resistance in Mycosphaerella graminicola populations from Tunisia was investigated by examining mutations known to be associated with strobilurin and azole resistance. Few mutations associated ...
Effect of genotypes and culture media on embryogenic callus induction and plantlet regeneration from mature embryos of durum wheat
In wheat, immature embryos are the most widely used explant to initiate cultures, but they are
inconvenient due to their temporal availability and production requirements. Mature embryos are easily stored
and are readily ...
Experiment-based prototyping to design and assess cotton management systems in West Africa
Designing innovative combinations of techniques to improve the sustainability of cropping systems in poor countries is a major
challenge. Here, we developed a prototyping methodology to design, assess and adapt a crop ...
