Analysis of gamma rays induced variability in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
In this study, a lentil variety, Idlib-3, was subjected to 100 Gy (LD50) gamma-ray irradiation. At M2, mutant families were characterized for the most beneficial agronomic traits. High genotypic coefficient of variation, ...
First Report on the Occurrence of the Braconid parasitoid Opius monilicornis on the Chickpea Leaf Miner Liriomyza cicerina in Tunisia
Surveys were conducted during 2016 and 2017 in chickpea crops to document the parasitoid species of the chickpea leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina) in Beja and Kef sites (north-west of Tunisia). One braconid wasp species ...
Biophysical and econometric analysis of adoption of soil and water conservation techniques in the semiarid region of Sidi Bouzid (Central Tunisia)
Soil and water conservation technologies (SWCT) are important to farmers, to the research community, as well as to the policy makers, given that declining soil health, and increasing erosion and moisture stress have ...
Under which conditions would a wide support be likely for a Multilateral Environmental Agreement for pollinator protection?
The Nagoya Protocol (2010) demonstrated that Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA) are still achievable. Pollination services are essential for biodiversity, agriculture, ecosystem services and human well-being, but ...
Optimum Herbicide Dose Management in Direct Seeding for Cereals Production: Case of Semi-arid Area of Algeria
The herbicide application for weed control and yield response achievement in direct seeding is a challenging task in cereal productions. Mostly the direct seeding is linked to the use of glyphosate, the herbicide with many ...
Seasonal variation of lungworm infestation of ewes at Sidi Bouzid slaughterhouse (Central Tunisia)
Respiratory strongyloses are among the most important diseases affecting sheep
reared in various farming systems in many countries. In Tunisia, farmers without
any scientific background carry out the control of these ...
Efficiency Change, Technological Progress and Sources of Long Term Agricultural Productivity Growth in Selected MENA Countries
We investigate the factors that affect total factor productivity growth in MENA countries. To this end, we start first by examining levels and trends in agricultural outputs and productivity growth using Torqnovist Indexes ...
Genetic diversity in algerian durum wheat varieties (Triticum turgidum L var. durum) using microsatellite markers = Diversidade genética em variedades de trigo duro argelino (Triticum turgidum L var. durum) usando marcadores microssatélites
Characterization of germplasm by DNA-markers provides powerful tool to precise germplasm identification. This study aimed to quantify the genetic diversity and to estimate the phylogenetic relationship ...
Dunaliella salina exopolysaccharides: a promising biostimulant for salt stress tolerance in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Microalgal exopolysaccharides represent a potential sustainable alternative for the enhancement and protection of agricultural crops including management of both biotic and abiotic stress. In the present study, we investigated ...
Econometric Analysis of Factors Affecting Farmers' Adoption of Water Saving Technologies: A Case Study of Raised-bed Technology in Egypt
This paper aims to present results of a socio-economic investigation into factors affecting the adoption of mechanized raised bed (MRB) technology in wheat production in Sharkia Governorate of Egypt. The sample consists ...
