Wheat drought-tolerance to enhance food security in Tunisia, birthplace of the Arab Spring
The beginning of the‘Arab Spring’in 2011, a regional revolution which started in the Tunisian city of SidiBouzid in late 2010, occurred in part as a result of drought-triggered high wheat prices, which in the past led ...
Impact of climate change and agricultural practices on irrigation water requirements under Nile delta conditions
Agriculture in Egypt consumes about 80% of the available water resources. With an ever-increasing demand and a relatively fixed supply of fresh water, every drop of water should be treated as a drop of life. Consequently, ...
Estimation of the economic loss due to irrigation water use inefficiency in Tunisia
The main objective of this study is to estimate the total economic loss due to inefficient use of irrigation water in Tunisia. Several approaches have been used for this purpose. The optimal level of water application for ...
Factors affecting innovative technologies adoption by livestock holders in arid area of Tunisia
Despite the efforts to enhance adoption of innovative technologies (IT) by the Tunisian Government through national and/or international development projects, the potential rate of adoption of these technologies has remained ...
Decades of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Breeding for Better Grain Yield and Seed Size has Inadvertently Reduced G × E Interaction and Increased Inter-Temporal Performance Stability
Thirteen faba bean varieties including 11 released between 1977 and 2007 and two promising genotypes were evaluated at seven contrasting environments in the central and southeastern highlands of Ethiopia during the main ...
Molecular markers and phenotypic characterization of adult plant resistance genes Lr 34, Lr 46, Lr 67 and Lr 68 and their association with partial resistance to leaf rust in wheat
Thirty-nine wheat genotypes were studied to estimate their partial resistance levels to leaf rust at Behira governortae during three growing seasons, i.e. 2016/2017, 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. In these genotypes, partial ...
Peer-Reviewed Literature on Grain Legume Species in the WoS (1980–2018): A Comparative Analysis of Soybean and Pulses
Grain-legume crops are important for ensuring the sustainability of agrofood systems. Among them, pulse production is subject to strong lock-in compared to soya, the leading worldwide crop. To unlock the situation and ...
Integration of molecular markers and doubled haploids for wheat breeding in the North Africa Region
Wheat is the major staple food crops of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and grown
mainly under rainfed conditions. Biotic stresses such as yellow rust, leaf rust and the Hessian
fly and abiotic stresses mainly drought constrains ...
