Assessment of genetic diversity for cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuD), fiber quality and some morphological traits using different statistical procedures in Gossypium hirsutum L
Cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuD) is one of the major factors limiting cotton production in Pakistan. For the assessment of genetic diversity one hundred cotton genotypes was evaluated for CLCuD tolerance, fiber ...
Transhumant pastoralism, sustainable management of natural resources and endemic ruminant livestock in the sub-humid zone of West Africa
Transhumant pastoralism is one of the dominant livestock production systems
in West Africa, and it is characterized by seasonal and cyclical movement of varying
degrees between complementary ecological areas. The common ...
Quinoa's Potential in the Mediterranean Region
The climate of Mediterranean region will become drier and hotter, with increased problems of soil salinity. A possible alternative to minimize the effects of climate change is to introduce species with better tolerance to ...
Effects of Root Water Uptake Efficiency on Soil Water Utilization in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under Severe Drought Environments
Improving wheat production in drought-prone areas is the key to meet the increasing global demand. The importance of root traits, especially, the structural traits such as root volume and rooting depth, has been well ...
Impact of deficit irrigation with saline water on yield, soil salinization and water productivity of barley in arid regions of Tunisia
Field studies were conducted for two years to determine the effects of irrigation regimes with saline water (7.6 dS/m) on soil salinity, yield and water productivity of barley in the arid region of Tunisia. Barley was grown ...
Adaptation Patterns and Yield Stability of Durum Wheat Landraces to Highland Cold Rainfed Areas of Iran
Because of unpredictable conditions in Mediterranean environments, successful crop production requires improved adaptation and yield stability to mitigate major abiotic stresses such as drought and cold. In this study 380 ...
Forecasting daily reference evapotranspiration for Australia using numerical weather prediction outputs
Farmers and irrigation system operators make real-time irrigation decisions based on a range of
factors including crop water requirement and short-term weather forecasts of rainfall and air temperature.
Forecasts of reference ...
A Participatory GIS Approach to Identify Critical Land Degradation Areas and Prioritize Soil Conservation for Mountainous Olive Groves (Case Study)
Climate change scenarios predict an
increase in the frequency of heavy rainfall events in
some areas. This will increase runoff and soil erosion,
and reduce agricultural productivity, particularly on
vulnerable mountainous ...
Impact of No Tillage on physical proprieties of a clay soil in Central Morocco
Conventional agriculture practiced in Morocco based on recurring tillage, leads to soil degradation (erosion, fertility
diminution, low organic matter content, etc.). To face up to this situation, conservation agriculture ...
Assessment of on-farm diversity of wheat varieties and landraces: Evidence from farmer’s fields in Ethiopia
Analysis of spatial diversity, temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage (COP) were carried out along with measurements of agronomic and morphological traits to explain on-farm diversity of modern varieties or landraces ...
