Distribution of discretely scored descriptors in a pure line faba bean (Vicia faba L.) germplasm collection
Because of the partially insect cross-pollinated nature of faba bean (Vicia faba L.), ICARDA maintains two types of faba bean germplasm collections. The ILB (International Legume Faba Bean) collection consists of the ...
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 ...
Population structure and reproductive mode of Didymella fabae in Syria
Didymella fabae is a highly destructive fungal pathogen of faba bean (Vicia faba) that represents a significant yield-limiting biotic constraint in all locations where the crop is grown. However, nothing is known about the ...
Genetic Analysis of Grain Yield and it's Components for some Populations of Faba Bean
The recurrent selection was applied on four F2 populations of faba bean at Terbol research station (ICARDA)- Lebanon, during 2013 summer season, advanced F3 populations were evaluated during 2013-2014 winter season to ...
Water and land productivities of wheat and food legumes with deficit supplemental irrigation in a Mediterranean environment
Selecting appropriate crops and applying deficit irrigation can help increase water productivity in waterlimited
regions such as the Mediterranean. The objective of this study was to develop water production
functions of ...
Strategies and Innovative Approaches for Food Legumes Seed Delivery in Ethiopia
Seed is the only vehicle in crop technology promotion, adoption and impact enhancement. Legumes play an important role in food and nutritional security of smallholder farmers and sustainability of farming systems in Ethiopia. ...
Faba bean gall pathogen Physoderma viciae: new primers reveal its puzzling association with the field pea Ascochyta complex
Recent morphological and molecular studies confirmed Physoderma viciae, and not Olpidium viciae, to be the causative agent of the devastating Faba Bean Gall (FBG) disease on faba bean (Vicia faba) in Ethiopia and also ...
Experimental on-farm trials data of faba bean and wheat intercropping field validation in Lebanon and Morocco
This data paper describes the content of four datasets col- lected by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) as a partner in the project “Designing InnoVative plant teams for Ecosystem ...
Efficiency of different breeding strategies in improving the faba bean productivity for sustainable agriculture
Breeding methods applied to faba bean are either based on self pollination by developing lines under insect proof cages or baed on open pollination by developing lines under natural pollination conditions. The purpose of ...
