QTL identifcation for Ascochyta blight resistance and its application in chickpea breeding
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Didymella rabiei regularly occurs in epidemic
form causing heavy yield and quality losses, and thus is a major biotic constraint to
chickpea production, particularly in the cool and wet ...
Impacts of Public, Private, and R&D Investments on Total Factor Productivity Growth in Tunisian Agriculture
The paper analyzes the patterns of productivity and economic growth in Tunisian agriculture during the period 1981–2007. A regression approach is used to test the hypotheses that government-funded research, development and ...
Challenges to generate adaptable technologies and to build up strategic alliances for small ruminants research in low input systems: case of Tunisia
. In Tunisia and in most countries of the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region, research in small ruminants is historically well embedded in the national agricultural research system. It faces challenges of generating ...
Potential Sites for Hill Reservoirs: An Assessment Methodology Using GIS and Remote Sensing Tools
This study investigates the development of a methodology to identify potential sites for hill reservoirs using remote sensing and GIS, in an 1113-km2 area in northeast Tunisia. The general approach has two steps; first, ...
Wheat breeding for multiple stress tolerance at ICARDA: Achievements and prospects
Wheat is the principal food crop in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region with average consumption of 200 kg/capita/year. The productivity of wheat in the region is very low (2.5 t/ha) principally due to ...
Use of SWAT Model for the Assessment of Land Use Changes in an Arid Watershed of Southeast Tunisia
During the last two decades, the Tunisian government has engaged in a vast program for the conservation and mobilization of natural resources. In the Jeffara region, which encompasses the study site, huge works for soil ...
Adaptation and Evaluation of SWAT Model for Application in an Arid Watershed in southeast Tunisia
In the arid regions of Tunisia, huge efforts are being made in water harvesting and soil conservation. A growing need for the assessment of their impact is felt. Due to the complexity of the processes at the watershed ...
Screening of Some Chickpea Genotypes for Salinity Tolerance in a Mediterranean Environment
To understand the mechanisms that affect the response to salinity of legumes, six chickpea genotypes
were tested in sand-filled pots in the greenhouse. The chickpea seeds were irrigated with water of four
different ...
Water-Saving Techniques Practiced by Olive Growers in Dry Areas
During the last two decades, olive production in Syria has expanded to less favorable marginal dry areas, where water is the most important limiting factor. Farmers in these areas have been applying special management ...
In vitro salinity tolerance screening of some legumes and forages cultivars
The increasing water demand for dmestic and industrial water users in the water-scarce
Mediterranean region is effecting the availbility of fresh water supplies for agriculture. Whereas much
research has been done on the ...
