Nutritional alterations and damages to stored chickpea in relation with the pest status of Callosobruchus maculatus (Chrysomelidae)
The identification of substitute products for the replacement of wheat flours for paste and bread is a strategy which may help to overcome the wheat yield problems and to meet the huge consumption rates in Tunisia. In this ...
Returns to agricultural mechanization in Egypt: Lessons learned from innovation driven research
In light of both historical and contemporary (political) sensitivity on civil society movements, we chalk out a normative role for the Egyptian private sector, within contemporary systems of agricultural innovation, and ...
CCSPS, a seed multiplying cooperative in Tunisia
CCSPS is a seed multiplying cooperative in Tunisia and partner of ICARDA. The cooperative has a large scale modern seed treatment unit where forage seeds (barley) and wheat are treated. Besides, the cooperative is engaged ...
International Winter Wheat Improvement Program: serving global breeding community
International Winter Wheat Improvement Program (www.iwwip.org) was established in 1986 as a cooperative project between the Government of Turkey and CIMMYT. The main objective was development of winter and facultative wheat ...
Seed Info No. 53
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Vulnerability of Barley to African Pathotypes of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici and Sources of Resistance
The emergence of widely virulent pathotypes (e.g., TTKSK in the Ug99 race group) of the stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici) in Africa threatens wheat production on a global scale. Although intensive research ...
Biomass yield and feeding value of rye, triticale, and wheat straw produced under a dual-purpose management system
Dual-purpose management of winter cereals for grazing and grain production provides highly nutritive forage for ruminants in the spring and may positively affect straw feeding value. A 2-yr study investigated the effect ...
Genome-wide association study for agronomic and physiological traits in spring wheat evaluated in a range of heat prone environments
We undertook large-scale genetic analysis to determine marker-trait associations (MTAs) underlying agronomic and physiological performance in spring wheat using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Field trials were ...
Genetic gains in wheat in Turkey: winter wheat for dryland conditions
Wheat breeders in Turkey have been developing new varieties since the 1920s, but few studies have evaluated the rates of genetic improvement. This study determined wheat genetic gains by evaluating 22 winter/facultative ...
Measuring climate change impacts on farm income in Central Asia
Despite serious influences of climate change on food security and farm income, there is insufficient research in Central Asia on the impact of climate change on agro-ecosystems, farm incomes, and analysis of the potential ...
