There is an increasing concern on the continuous and rapid decreaseof water availability across the whole territory particularly in central and southern Tunisia. This constraint is adversely affecting livestock production ...
Effects of seed dressing pesticides on the spread of Faba bean necrotic yellows virus on faba bean and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV on barley and oat
The effects of two seed-dressing pesticides in reducing the spread of aphid-transmitted Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV, genus Nanovirus, family Nanoviridae) and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV, genus ...
Achievements of the national faba bean (viciafubal.) breeding program in Tunisia
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is the most important grain legume cultivated in Tunisia. In the northern favorable regions of the country, it play an important role in the wheat based cropping systems due to its ability to fox ...
Effect of agriculture practices and stocking rates on performances of Barbarine ewes grazing on wheat stubble in Tunisian semi-arid conditions.

The problem of Orobanche in Tunisia: current state, specificity and main results of the national Faba bean breeding program to improve tolerance/resistance to Orobanche foetida and Orobanche crenata
In Tunisia legume crops suffer from several problems mainly broomrape attacks (Orobanche spp. and Phelipanche spp.) causing severe damages and
important yield losses mainly on faba bean. Among the several species reported ...
Distribution and genetic diversity of Orobanche in Tunisia
Abstract
Orobanche foetida is an obligate parasite which infects the roots of host legumes range in Tunisia and in particular the faba bean causing severe
damage to this crop. The use of molecular markers may be a suitable ...
