CGIAR germplasm health units apply a systems approach to germplasm seed health protection for conservation and safe international distribution
Germplasm seed exchange from CGIAR genebanks and breeding is important to global
agricultural research and development programs. Seed as a pathway for pest spread is an
inherent risk for international seed exchanges. ...
Genetic Evaluation Of IRAQI Local Goats And Their Crosses Using Milk Traits
In Iraq, improvement of local goat for milk through selection and/or crossbreeding has been
initiated in 1993. Estimation of heritability and repeatability after adjusting records of milk
traits for the fixed effects and ...
Improving faba bean (Vicia faba L.) for sustainable agriculture in drylands
Faba bean (Vicia faba) is a major cool season food legume in many countries grown under rainfed and irrigated production systems around the world. Faba bean productivity and production are threaten by abiotic (heat, drought, ...
Restricted Selection Indices for Milk Yield and Growth of Kid Goats in Iraq
Genetic improvement of local goats for milk and meat in Iraq is required to cope with the growing demands of the human population. Restricted selection index (RSI), which maximizes genetic gain in chosen traits while keeping ...
Impact of fertilizer pricing policies on barley-livestock production systems in North-West Syria
Small ruminant production systems in southern Mediterranean countries are largely dependent on raided barley as a source of feed. The adoption of fertilizer use in barley cropping in Syria has increased during the past ...
The behaviour of cyanide in a landfill and the soil beneath it
The behaviour of cyanide in a landfill and the soil was studied because at several locations in the
Netherlands, heat treatment waste from metal processing firms, containing cyanide, was dumped in codisposal with domestic ...
Detection of significant new races of the wheat stem rust pathogen in Africa and Middle East
Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a destructive disease on bread and durum wheat. Following the identification and distribution of Ug99, major national and international efforts have been made ...
Optimal Scales of Neighbourhood Effects on Landuse Change: An Analysis Procedure Applied in an Alpine Mountainous Region
Neighbourhood effects on land use change are very common. Therefore, they are often
included in spatially explicit models of land use change and other spatial analyses. Neighbourhood
indices, however, depend strongly on ...
A Multi-Model Systems Approach for Identifying Low Emissions Development Pathways– Analyzing Synergies and Trade-offs in Semiarid Agriculture in India
Food security in the face of changing climate has pushed governments and development actors to focus efforts on improving adaptation, however, going forward besides adaptation, mitigation efforts to reduce GHG emissions ...
