Evaluation of ICARDA barley germplasm for resistance to spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) in India
Cultivation of resistant varieties is considered to be the cheapest way to combat plant diseases
particularly in developing countries where most of the barley farmers are marginal and unable to
afford costly fungicides. ...
Cactus Pear Roots Turnover and Total Carbon Sequestration Rate Depends on Soil Volume Availability
The influence of soil volume availability on roots carbon turnover and carbon sequestration rate of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) was studied during three years trial. Since April 2014, 1- year-old cladodes were planted ...
Multivariate analysis and genetic diversity of Greek grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars using ampelographic and microsatellite markers
Intervention at the 4th International Symposium on Mediterranean Vineyards and Climate Change, 12-14 May 2017, Santorini, Greece.
Improving the date production chain in the Moroccan oases through small mechanization inputs to support the governmental development strategies
Moroccan oases as other Saharan oases are a highly artificial ecosystem that have proved to be capable
of sustaining agriculture under arid climatic conditions for centuries, though it has suffered a strong
degradation ...
Cactus Crop (Opuntia Ficus-Indica) to Rehabilitate Rangelands in Semi-Arid Regions of Tunisia
The area of rangelands in Tunisia is estimated at 4.5 million hectares, or 27.4% of the total area of the country. Currently rangelands contribute 10 to 25% of livestock feed requirements, compared to 65% in the sixties, ...
Evaluation of faba bean accessions for earliness and heat tolerance
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important cool season food legurne grown worldwide. Heat is a major abiotic stress that reduces faba bean productivity. Heat stress is increasing in terms of intensity and frequency due to ...
Spineless cactus in the Arabian Peninsula: adaptive behaviors and production performances
Limited water resources are the main challenge facing agricultural developments in dry areas. Thus improving the crops water use efficiency (WUE) is considered the greatest one. In an attempt to alleviate feed shortages ...
Determination of Irrigation Depths using a Numerical Model and Weather Forecast
Effect of a scheme of determining irrigation depth using numerical simulation for crop response to irrigation and weather forecast was tested for wheat cultivation in the semi-arid region of Jordan. Drip irrigation system, ...
Grassland/rangelands based livestock production systems: Options and trade-offs between productivity and GHG emissions reductions
The global warming is expected to further contribute to the process of rangeland degradation as a result of mis-management and may have significant adverse impacts on range species under high CO2 emissions scenarios. Already ...
Genome wide association analysis for stripe rust resistance in barley seedlings and adult plant stage in India
Barley stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, PSH) occurs worldwide and is a major fungal
disease in barley in Southern Asia. In order to identify and the estimate effects of loci underlying
quantitative resistance ...
