Innovation platforms: A novel tool for improving food legume productivity and farmer’s livelihood, and enhancing food security in Morocco
Food legumes (Faba bean, lentils, chickpea and pea) are important crops that come in rotation with
cereals in the rainfed regions of Morocco where the cereal/food legume cropping system predominates.
While these crops were ...
Addressing the global challenges for barley improvement through CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals
The International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) has a global mandate for
barley improvement, specifically for dry areas across the globe. ICARDA has reorganized the spring and
winter barley research ...
Dry root rot (Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler): an emerging disease of chickpea – where do we stand?
Dry root rot caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola (Macrophomina phaseolina) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is gaining importance in the changed scenario of climate when growing crop is predisposed to high temperature and ...
Potentials of Geoinformatics application in mapping NUS species for food and nutritional security
Geo- informatics presents great potential in the context of sustainable Agro-ecosystems development through mapping and monitoring. These include: crop types, corp associations, crop suitability, crop yield, cropping ...
Temperature sensitivity of food legumes: a physiological insight
Of the various environmental stresses that a
plant can experience, temperature has the widest and most
far-reaching effects on legumes. Temperature extremes,
both high (heat stress) and low (cold stress), are injurious ...
