Monitoring of spatiotemporal dynamics of Rabi rice fallows in South Asia using remote sensing. In: Geospatial Technologies in Land Resources, Mapping, Monitoring and Management, Geotechnologies and the Environment
Cereals and grain legumes are the most important part of human diet and
nutrition. The expansion of grain legumes with improved productivity to cater the
growing population’s nutritional security is of prime importance and ...
Adoption and impacts of improved varieties and seed demand analysis
There is very limited information about the national level adoption of improved wheat varieties in Morocco. With the exception of some estimates based on secondary data, the same is true for household, regional and national ...
Statistical Design and Analysis of Date Palm Insect Pest Management Experiments
This chapter discusses selected experimental design and data analyses in the context of date
palm insect experiments. This chapter illustrates the number of infested fruit, an analysis of
repeated measurements, and estimates ...
The Maghreb (North Africa) rangelands evolution over forty years: re-greening or degradation
The Sahel region is subject of several controversies over the current trends of its ecosystems. Some consider that despite the rain recovery, this region remains in a regressive dynamics, while others consider that they ...
Digital Diffusion for Inclusive Agroecosystems
The technological advancements in agriculture have resulted in higher yields but lower ecological efficiency and nutritional value. Little innovations in later sectors such as integrating ecological functions in the ...
Geoinformaticas application in Date-Palm-Pests-and-Diseases
Global climate variability and change (and framing system) pose a serious threat to food
and to nutritional security, with increased concerns of agricultural risks and vulnerability to
pests and diseases. The nature and ...
Remote Sensing-Based Forest Biomass Assessment in Northwest Himalayan Landscape
Forests cover around one-third of the global land cover (4.03 billion hectares) (FAO 2010; Pan et al. 2013) and are among the richest ecosystems in terms of biological and genetic diversity (Köhl et al. 2015). Forests are ...
Molecular Marker Assisted Gene Pyramiding
Genomics-assisted breeding is a relatively powerful and fast approach to develop high-yielding plant varieties adapted to different environmental conditions. In lentils, the availability of molecular markers associated ...
Developing improved varieties of faba bean
Faba bean is an important cool-season food legume crop grown under different cropping systems for dry grain and green pods, animal feed and a green-manure worldwide. It contributes to reduce carbon footprint of cereal based ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
