Modelling socioeconomic determinants for cultivation and in-situ conservation of Vitex doniana Sweet (Black plum), a wild harvested economic plant in Benin
Cultivation is the most appropriate management option when both demand and harvesting of wild plant species increase beyond natural production levels. In the current study we made the assumption that, besides the intrinsic ...
Estimation of genetic variability for Cotton leaf curl virus disease, fiber quality and some morphological traits using multivariate analysis in exotic Gossypium (Diploid and tetraploid) species
This study was designed to evaluate the germplasm imported from USA for cotton leaf curl virus, fiber quality and yield components. Seventy nine cotton genotypes were evaluated using statistical procedures such as correlation ...
Genetic Diversity Analysis for Earliness, Fiber Quality and Cotton Leaf Curl Virus in Gossypium hirsutum L. Accessions.
In the present set of experiment 159 cotton genotypes that were imported from USA were evaluated for cotton leaf curl
virus disease tolerance, better fiber quality and various yield related traits. For evaluation of these ...
Economic trade-offs of biomass use in crop-livestock systems: Exploring more sustainable options in semi-arid Zimbabwe
In complex mixed crop-livestock systems with limited resources and biomass scarcity, crop residues play an important but increasingly contested role. This paper focuses on farming systems in the semi-arid areas of Zimbabwe, ...
Early assessment of seasonal forage availability for mitigating the impact of drought on East African pastoralists
Pastoralist households across East Africa face major livestock losses during drought periods that can cause persistent
poverty. For Kenya and southern Ethiopia, an existing index insurance scheme aims to reduce the ...
How to successfully publish interdisciplinary research: learning from an Ecology and Society Special Feature
What are the factors that hinder or support publishing interdisciplinary research? What does a successful
interdisciplinary publishing process look like? We address these questions by analyzing the publishing process of ...
Consommation énergétique des cultures d’oignon et de pomme de terre dans la province d’El Hajeb (Maroc) Vers une efficacité énergétique des exploitations maraichères
Efficient use of energy in agriculture is one of the principal requirements for sustainable
production. The aim of this study was to determine the amount and efficiency of energy consumed in the production ...
Virus-Induced Gene Silencing in Cultivated Cotton (Gossypium spp.) Using Tobacco Rattle Virus.
The study described here has optimized the conditions for virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in three cultivated cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum, G. arboreum, and G. herbaceum) using a Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) vector. ...
