Increasing lowland rice yields of smallholder farmers through the adoption of good agricultural practices in the forest agro-ecological zone of Ghana
Rice is an important food crop in Ghana. However, its production has constantly been below 40%
of the demand, and most of the requirements meet from imports. Such low production level is
largely attributed to farmers’ ...
Bacterial leaf blight disease of wheat (Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae) in Syria: importance, characterization, and spread
The quantity and quality of wheat production are affected by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses, including bacterial wheat leaf blight disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss). Pss is considered one ...
