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 ...
Challenges to generate adaptable technologies and to build up strategic alliances for small ruminants research in low input systems: case of Tunisia
. In Tunisia and in most countries of the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region, research in small ruminants is historically well embedded in the national agricultural research system. It faces challenges of generating ...
Challenges and opportunities of soil conservation and land management in the dry areas
Land degradation is a serious problem, particularly on vulnerable agricultural lands to soil erosion, which
signifies the temporary or permanent decline in the productive capacity of the land (UN/FAO definition).
Erosion ...
A methodological approach to model the grass-tree relationship in Quercus suber Mediterranean forest ecosystems
Livestock is socially and economically an important component for the livelihood of resource poor
farmers in North Africa. A portion of livestock feed resources is forest rangeland. Unfortunately, the
sustainability of ...
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 ...
The adsorption of Strontium on soils developed in arid region as influenced by clay content and soluble cations
The present work was performed in order to investigate behavior of Sr adsorption in a saline-sodic soil and a
normal soil developed in arid environment in Central Iran.
Soil conservation measures in the Ethiopian Highlands: The effectiveness of stone bunds on soil erosion processes
Extensive land degradation in the Ethiopian Highlands jeopardizes rural livelihood. Intensified by increasing population pressure, farmers are forced to expand their arable land by deforestation and thus worsening the soil ...
Status and prospects of food legumes improvement in Morocco
In Morocco, faba bean, chickpea and lentil are being grown under rainfed
conditions and play an important role in cereal-based cropping systems. Food
legumes improve soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation and ...
North-Africa-ICARDA Partnership on Food Legumes Research for Development: Present Status and Future Strategy
Food legumes are important crops for human food,
animal feed and services for sustainable agriculture.
They are the rich sources of protein and micronutrients,
thus contributing significantly to the health and
nutritional ...
Assisting smallholder farmers in mixed crop-livestock systems to understand the potential effects of technologies and climate change through participatory modeling
Smallholder farming systems in the semiarid
areas of Zimbabwe are characterized by low production. This low production is not solely
due to lack of technologies but also due to a lack of integrating a diversity of viewpoints ...
