What induced farmers to protect and manage on-farm tree natural regeneration in Nigerien Dryland?
During the second half of the 20th century the Sahel experienced one of the most striking shifts in climate known globally since instrumental records began to be kept-from anomalously abundant rains in the 1950's and 1960's ...
Impact du Semis Direct sur les propriétés physiques d’un sol argileux au Maroc Central (Impact of No Tillage on physical proprieties of a clay soil in Central Morocco)
Conventional agriculture practiced in Morocco based on recurring tillage, leads to soil degradation (erosion, fertility diminution, low organic matter content, etc.). To face up to this situation, conservation agriculture ...
Food Value of Soft Dates Cultivated in Tunisian Coastal Oases
Maintaining bio-diversity in Tunisian oases has become a subject of first interest in date palm cultivation in Tunisia.
Coastal oases still retain a very rich and varied plant biodiversity in comparison with the continental ...

Assessment of maize yield gap and major determinant factors between smallholder farmers in the Dedza district of Malawi
This study explored the effect of soil nutrient status, agronomic practices and socio-economic
factors on maize yield attained by smallholder farmers in the Dedza District of Malawi. Results show
that maize yield ranged ...
Measuring the effectiveness of extension innovations for out-scaling agricultural technologies
Low adoption levels of agricultural technologies undermine the impacts of national and international agricultural research. Using a combination of an ordered logit and Heckman selection models and a case study from an ...
Is Discrimination of 13C in potato leaflets and tubers an appropriate trait to describe genotype responses to restrictive and well-watered conditions?
Selection for drought tolerance entails prioritizing plant traits that integrate critical physiological processes occurring during crop growth. Discrimination against 13C (Δ) in leaflets (Δleaflet) and tubers (Δtuber) was ...
Sustainable intensification in drylands: What resilience and vulnerability can tell us
The challenge to increase food production is greater than ever,
as the world’s population is set to increase to a predicted nine billion
by 2050 (United Nations, 2008), requiring a 70 to 100% increase in
global food ...
Agronomic improvements can make future cereal systems in South Asia far more productive and result in a lower environmental footprint
South Asian countries will have to double their food production by 2050 while using resources more efficiently and
minimizing environmental problems. Transformative management approaches and technology solutions will ...
Organic Carbon and Alkalinity Increase in Topsoil after Rangeland Restoration through Atriplex Nummularia Plantation
This research studied the impact of fodder shrub plantations (Atriplex nummularia Lindl.) on topsoil properties, with particular reference to organic carbon, nitrogen, and soluble salts, in the Marrakech region (central ...
