Effects of surface and subsurface drip irrigation regimes with saline water on yield and water use efficiency of potato in arid conditions of Tunisia
Field experiments were conducted on a sandy soil during spring of 2009
and autumn of 2010 in southern Tunisia for evaluating the effects of two drip
irrigation methods and three irrigation regimes on soil moisture and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Impact of deficit irrigation with saline water on yield, soil salinization and water productivity of barley in arid regions of Tunisia
Field studies were conducted for two years to determine the effects of irrigation regimes with saline water (7.6 dS/m) on soil salinity, yield and water productivity of barley in the arid region of Tunisia. Barley was grown ...
