Broad bean stain virus: Identification, detectability with ELISA in faba bean leaves and seeds, occurrence in West Asia and North Africa, and possible wild hosts
During a survey of faba bean viruses in West Asia and North Africa a virus was identified as broad bean stain virus (BBSV) based on host reactions, electron microscopy, physical properties and serology. An antiserum to a ...
Cryptic Diversity Hidden within the Leafminer Genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
Leafminer insects of the genus Liriomyza are small flies whose larvae feed on the internal tissue of some of the most important crop plants for the human diet. Several of these pest species are highly uniform from the ...
Nematodes of cool-season food legumes in North Africa
Preliminary surveys undertaken in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia during 1988 to 1990, revealed the presence of several nematode species associated with chickpea, faba bean, lentil, and pea. Root-lesion nematodes were the ...
Do faba bean (Vicia faba L.) accessions from environments with contrasting seasonal moisture availabilities differ in stomatal characteristics and related traits?
Drought is a major constraint to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production, and there are many mechanisms by which leaves can regulate water loss. Our primary objective was to test if the origin of the faba bean accessions, ...
Effect of Benzothiadiazole and Salicylic Acid Resistance Inducers on Orobanche foetida Infestation in Vicia faba
The broomrape or orobanche (Orobanche foetida) is considered as an important agricultural problem of faba bean (Vicia faba var. minor) production in Tunisia. The effect of salicylic acid (SA) and benzothiadiazole (BTH) on ...
Orobanche foetida control in faba bean by foliar application of Benzothiadiazole (BTH) and Salicylic Acid
Orobanche foetida is considered as an important agricultural problem of faba bean production in Tunisia. The effect of
salicylic acid SA and 1, 2, 3-Benzothiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid, S-methyl ester (BTH) as foliar ...
Performance of faba bean genotypes with Orobanche foetida Poir. and Orobanche crenata Forsk. infestation in Tunisia
Orobanche foetida Poir. and O. crenata Forsk. are major constraints to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) cultivation in Tunisia. To
evaluate the different levels of resistance of seven small-seeded faba bean genotypes to these ...
SOIL ORGANIC CARBON AND NITROGEN STATUS UNDER FALLOW AND CEREAL-LEGUME SPECIES IN A TUNISIAN SEMI-ARID CONDITIONS
Proper crop rotation might help to conserve soil fertility among small scale farmers in dry areas. A study was carried out at Tunisia station to evaluate the effect of crops in the rotation on evaluation and some nutrient ...
Release of a New Faba Bean Variety "Chourouk" Resistant to the Parasitic Plants Orobanche foetida Poir. and Orobanche crenata Forsk. in Tunisia
The broomrapes (Orobanche spp. and Phelipanche spp.) aretroublesome holoparasitic plants, completely dependent on their hosts for their nutritional requirements; water and nutrients. Orobanche crenata,O. cumana, ...
Characterization of strigolactones produced by Orobanche foetida and Orobanche crenata resistant faba bean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes and effects of phosphorous, nitrogen, and potassium deficiencies on strigolactone production
In the present study, characterization of strigolactones (SLs) produced by some Tunisian faba bean genotypes partially resistant to Orobanche foetida Poir. and O. crenata Forsk. was conducted by LC–MS/MS and the results ...
