QTL identifcation for Ascochyta blight resistance and its application in chickpea breeding
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Didymella rabiei regularly occurs in epidemic
form causing heavy yield and quality losses, and thus is a major biotic constraint to
chickpea production, particularly in the cool and wet ...
Multiscale Salinity Mapping in Central and Southern Iraq by Remote Sensing
Salinity has become one of the major problems
affecting crop production and food security in Central and
Southern Iraq. There is a pressing need to quantify and map the
spatial extent and distribution of the salinity in ...
Role of geoinformatics in ensuing global food security with special reference to dryland agroecosystems
Agriculture plays an important role in providing
food security in developing countries. Better agricultural
information is one of the key factors in understanding current
trends and status that determine food security from ...
Breeding faba bean for resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (Didymella fabae Jellis and Punithalingam)
is one of the most important foliar diseases that
affect the quality and seed yield of faba bean (Vicia faba
L.) worldwide. Breeding for resistance to Ascochyta
blight ...
An Examination of Technical, Economic, Allocative Efficiency and Economic Impacts of Salinity on Livelihoods: The Case of Al-Musayyeb Farms in Iraq
The objective of the study was to investigate how farmers could sustain an economically viable agricultural production on salt affected areas of Al-Musayyeb area in Central Iraq. It aims to assess the impacts of salinity ...
Evaluation of faba bean accessions under diverse water regimes
Drought is a major limiting factor in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production in the
Mediterranean region, which is known for irregular water distribution and moderate
moisture level (around 500 mm rainfall). The objective ...
Performance of Anatolian Merino and Akkaraman lambs fed triticale, Hungarian vetch or a mixture of the two forages
Forages from Hungarian vetch and triticale monocultures
or mixtures that can be produced with relatively low cost
are important feed sources for ruminants in spring particularly
in the arid and semiarid regions. The feed ...
Adapting SWAT model for the evaluation of water harvesting systems in an arid environment: a case from Jordan
Water scarcity and land degradation are widespread problems that affect agricultural productivity, food security and environmental quality in several parts of the world, particularly in the dry areas. Sustainable management ...
