Efficiency of marker-assisted selection in detection of ascochyta blight resistance in Tunisian chickpea breeding lines
Ascochyta blight (AB) resistance reactions were studied in 23 chickpea cultivars, mainly advanced
lines and Tunisian varieties from the Tunisian chickpea breeding program, growing both at two locations and
under controlled ...
Genetic Variation for Tolerance to Herbicide Imazethapyr in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Identification of lentil genotypes tolerant to post-emergence herbicides and incorporation of herbicide tolerance in to high yielding varieties can prove a boon for developing effective integrated weed management strategy ...
Grasslands in 'Old World' and 'New World' Mediterranean-climate zones: past trends, current status and future research priorities
Despite their ecological, economic and social importance,
grasslands in areas with Mediterranean climates
continue to receive limited scientific, political and
media attention. The main objectives of this review
are to ...
Parameterization of the Effect of Bench Terraces on Runoff and Sediment Yield by Swat Modelling in a Small Semi-Arid Watershed in Northern Tunisia
In Tunisia, Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) interventions are among the most practicable strategies to prevent and mitigate rainwater losses through surface runoff and consequential erosion of fertile soils. In this ...
Genetic differentiation in Pyrenophora teres f. teres populations from Syria and Tunisia as assessed by AFLP markers
To investigate the level of genetic differentiation and diversity among
Pyrenophora teres isolate populations originating from different agro-ecological
areas of Syria and Tunisia and to determine the potential of AFLP ...
Performances, Policies, Challenges and Opportunities of the Tunisian Agriculture Sector from Natural Resources Management Perspective a SWOT Analysis
A comprehensive assessment of the Tunisian agricultural potential, production, natural resources
management and policies has been presented using SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats)
analysis. Concerning ...
Ecological restoration across the Mediterranean Basin as viewed by practitioners
Restoration efforts in the Mediterranean Basin have been changing from a silvicultural to an ecological restoration
approach. Yet, to what extent the projects are guided by ecological restoration principles remains ...
Effect of protection on plant community dynamics in the Mediterranean arid zone of southern Tunisia: a case study from Bou Hedma national park
Ecosystems protected from heavy grazing impacts, such as national parks and refuges, are generally considered to sustain higher plant species diversity and better ecosystem composition and structure compared to heavily ...
Measurement of the total factor productivity and its determinants: the case of the wheat sector in Tunisia
The main objectives of the current study are to quantify the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth of durum wheat sector in Tunisia and to identify its main determinants. The Malmquist index approach was applied for the ...
Economic efficiency measures and its determinants for irrigated wheat farms in Tunisia: a DEA approach
The objectives of this study are twofold. Firstly, we aim to measure the technical,
scale and economic efficiencies for a sample of 170 cereal farmers in Chebika region
(Central Tunisia) using Data Envelopment Analysis ...
