Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Simultaneous adoption of integrated soil fertility management technologies in the Chinyanja Triangle, Southern Africa
Empirical scientific evidence indicates that there is still room for increasing food production by improving land productivity. This study aimed at identifying the key determinants that govern farmers’ decisions to adopt ...
Methods of Soil, Plant, and Water Analysis: A manual for the West Asia and North Africa Region: Third Edition
This laboratory manual of analytical methods has been compiled to be used primarily by research
assistants, technicians and student trainees working in the laboratory. The methods have been
selected from different sources ...
The role of women empowerment and labour dependency on adoption of integrated soil fertility management in Malawi
This paper explores the role of women empowerment and labour on enabling farmers to cross two hurdles: adopt and intensify soil fertility management (SFM), coming after six decades of SFM research that disseminated several ...
Legume genetic resources: management, diversity assessment, and utilization in crop improvement
Grain legumes contribute significantly to total world food production. Legumes are the primary source of dietary proteins in many developing countries, where protein hunger and malnutrition are widespread. Grain legumes ...
Digital soil mapping of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic carbon and their crop response thresholds in smallholder managed escarpments of Malawi
This study demonstrates how to predict and map soils within smallholder farms in fragile landscapes of Malawi. We used random forest algorithm and sentinel imagery to improve mapping of SOC and NPK farm level. SOC was ...

Phytosanitary Interventions for Safe Global Germplasm Exchange and the Prevention of Transboundary Pest Spread: The Role of CGIAR Germplasm Health Units
The inherent ability of seeds (orthodox, intermediate, and recalcitrant seeds and vegetative
propagules) to serve as carriers of pests and pathogens (hereafter referred to as pests) and the risk
of transboundary spread ...
Soils and Soil Ecology in Khorezm
The current status of the agricultural soils in Khorezm is closely linked to their development influenced by past river flows and more recent human-managed irrigation and drainage practices. The initial relief of the ...
Isolation and sequence analysis of DREB2A homologues in three cereal and two legume species
The transcription factor, DREB2A, is one of the promising candidate genes involved in dehydration tolerance in crop plants. In order to isolate DREB2A homologues across cereals (rice, barley and sorghum) and legumes (common ...
