Gendered aspirations and occupations among rural youth, in agriculture and beyond: A cross-regional perspective
Based on 25 case studies from the global comparative study ‘GENNOVATE: Enabling gender equality in agricultural and environmental innovation’, this paper explores rural young women’s and men’s occupational aspirations and ...
Economic and food security benefits associated with raised-bed wheat production in Egypt
Countries in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region are dependent on imports of wheat to meet their food security
needs. Mechanized raised-bed wheat production is an effective means of increasing productivity and ...
Wheat performance with subclover living mulch in different agro-environmental conditions depends on crop management
Intercropping has been proposed as a useful strategy for reducing external inputs in cereal-based cropping systems, while maintaining adequate crop yield. Intercropping of wheat and subclover, implemented as living mulch, ...
Development of SNP assays for hessian fly response genes, Hfr-1 and Hfr-2, for marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding
Background
The Hessian fly response genes, Hfr-1 and Hfr-2, have been reported to be significantly induced in a Hessian fly attack. Nothing is known about the allelic variants of these two genes in susceptible (S) and ...
Optimum Herbicide Dose Management in Direct Seeding for Cereals Production: Case of Semi-arid Area of Algeria
The herbicide application for weed control and yield response achievement in direct seeding is a challenging task in cereal productions. Mostly the direct seeding is linked to the use of glyphosate, the herbicide with many ...
Genetic diversity in algerian durum wheat varieties (Triticum turgidum L var. durum) using microsatellite markers = Diversidade genética em variedades de trigo duro argelino (Triticum turgidum L var. durum) usando marcadores microssatélites
Characterization of germplasm by DNA-markers provides powerful tool to precise germplasm identification. This study aimed to quantify the genetic diversity and to estimate the phylogenetic relationship ...
Association of KASP markers with Hessian fly resistance in wheat of diverse origin
Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor (Say)) is a major pest in wheat producing areas of United States,
Canada, Europe, and North Africa but has not been found in Australia. Host plant resistance is thought to
involve a similar ...
Women, Work and Wage Equity in Agricultural Labour in Saiss, Morocco
This article documents wages and working conditions for landless female and male agricultural labourers in Morocco. We found that higher-paid, equipment-intensive tasks were predominantly assigned to men, whereas women ...
Heat-Tolerant QTLs Associated with Grain Yield and Its Components in Spring Bread Wheat under Heat-Stressed Environments of Sudan and Egypt
Heat stress decreases photosynthesis, pollen viability, grain number and weight, and hence lowers yield and quality of wheat by variable amounts among different cultivars and genotypes. The present study was carried out ...
Evaluation de la biologie du sol sous l’effet du traitement chimique en semis direct dans une zone semi-aride de l’Algérie
En tenant compte du rôle des microorganismes dans la préservation de l’écosystème agricole, un essai expérimental a été suivi pour évaluer l’effet du semis direct sur l’activité des microorganismes dans un sol céréalier ...
