Evaluating the cost and gain from genetic resistance to Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor (say)) in durum wheat in Morocco using recombinant inbred lines
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is an important food crop in the
Mediterranean region. Hessian fly is the most important insect pest of wheat in the dry land
areas in Morocco. Breeding wheat for genetic ...
Initial Assessment of Medicinal Plants Across the Libyan Mediterranean Coast
The medicinal plants of the Libyan Mediterranean Coast represent an opportunity to reduce rural poverty in the arid and semi-arid ecosystems due to their water use efficiency, low costs of collection and cultivation, high ...
Implications of a shift in irrigation technology on resource use efficiency: A Syrian case
The absence of adequate land leveling coupled with the ill designed traditional furrow irrigation systems
and the poor condition of drainage structures in most Syrian farms are leading to over-irrigation. A stochastic
production ...
Irrigation Water Use Efficiency and Fann Size in Tunisian Agriculture: A Parametric Frontier Analysis Approach
In an economy such as Tmrisia where resources are scarce and opportunities to use new
technologies are limited, efficiency is a very important factor for productivity growth. Inefficiency studies
indicate the potential to ...
Nitrous oxide emissions from a New Zealand cropped soil: tillage effects, spatial and seasonal variability
Agricultural practices are believed to be the major anthropogenic source of enhanced nitrous oxide (N2O) gas emissions in
New Zealand. Studies conducted in New Zealand generally suggest low N2O emission from pasture; ...
Effects of salinity and drought on early seedling growth and survival of Artemisia herbaalba
Seedlings of Artemisia herba-alba grown in glasshouse were watered with differing salinities (0, 150, 250 or 350 mM NaCI) and watering frequencies of 3, 7, 14 or 21 days for a period of 6 weeks. At the end of the study, ...
A reliable and non-destructive method for estimating forage shrub cover and biomass in arid environments using digital vegetation charting technique
Despite the importance of fodder shrubs to small ruminant diets and production in arid and semiarid ecosystems, they are often not considered when quantifying grazing land potential. This oversight is mainly due to the ...
Assessing the Effectiveness Of Land Restoration Interventions In Dry Lands By Multitemporal Remote Sensing - A Case Study in Ouled Dlim (Marrakech, Morocco)
Atriplex nummularia has been extensively planted in Northern Africa to combat desertification. However, few studies evaluated the effectiveness of these interventions. This study aimed at assessing the dynamic performance ...
