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 ...
Evolution of Crop Water Productivity in the Nile Delta over Three Decades (1985-2015)
Estimating crop water productivity (CWP) for spatially variable climatic conditions in Egypt is important for the redistribution of crop planting to optimize production per unit of water consumed. The current paper aims ...
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 ...
Grain yield losses due to leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina R.) in winter- and spring-planted chickpea in Morocco
Chickpea leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina R.) is one of the main insect pests damaging chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) inthe Mediterranean region.This study assessed yield losses caused by the chickpea leafminer on four improved ...
Genetic Variation for Tolerance to Herbicide Imazethapyr in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Identification of lentil genotypes tolerant to post-emergence herbicides and incorporation of herbicide tolerance in to high yielding varieties can prove a boon for developing effective integrated weed management strategy ...
Chemical analyses and anthelmintic effects of Artemisia campestris essential oil
The present study aimed at analyzing the chemical composition and evaluating the in vitro and in vivo anthelmintic activity of Artemisia campestris essential oil aerial parts. The chemical composition was analysed by ...
Wheat production and breeding in Sub-Saharan Africa: Challenges and opportunities in the face of climate change
Purpose – This paper aims to review the current status of wheat production, farming systems, production constraints and wheat demand-supply chain analysis; the role of international and national breeding programs and their ...
Signatures of positive selection in African Butana and Kenana dairy zebu cattle
Butana and Kenana are two types of zebu cattle found in Sudan. They are unique amongst
African indigenous zebu cattle because of their high milk production. Aiming to understand
their genome structure, we genotyped 25 ...
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 ...
Breeding and genomics status in faba bean (Vicia faba)
Faba bean is an important legume crop because of its high‐yield potential and nutrition‐dense grains. There have been significant achievements in faba bean improvement in the last four decades, which led to the doubling ...
