Variation in the straw traits of morphological fractions of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and implications for selecting for food-feed varieties
Five varieties of faba bean (four improved released varieties and one local variety) were investigated for varietal variation in straw yield, nutritive value of straw morphological fractions and grain yield. Samples of the ...
Determination of cultivar-dependent variation in food-feed traits in lentil (Lens culinaris)
The study was conducted with the objectives of analyzing and evaluating of lentil varieties for haulm nutritional values, determining the relationship between fodder traits and agronomic traits, and developing Near Infrared ...
Containing the Menace of Wheat Rusts: Institutionalized Interventions and Impacts
This book is the grandstand of the collaborative endeavours of diverse stakeholders in addressing the challenges of wheat production and wheat rusts in Ethiopia within the context of the international efforts across Africa ...
Nutritive value of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) straw as influenced by variety, season, botanical fractions and urea pretreatment
To evaluate the potential of straw from field pea (Pisum sativum L.) as feed for ruminants in tropical highlands, the effect of variety (n = 6), season (main and short), botanical fraction (leaf and stem) and treatment ...
Improving wheat production in the CWANA region
Wheat is the principal staple food in most countries of the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region, accounting for 45% of the region’s per capita calorie intake with an average wheat consumption of about 200 ...

Technical report for the project Restoration of Degraded Land for Food Security and Poverty Reduction in East Africa and the Sahel: Taking Successes in Land Restoration to Scale funded by IFAD and implemented by ICRAF ...
Opportunities and limitations of multidimensional crop improvement in grain legumes to support increased productivity in mixed crop livestock systems
While rising demand for animal sourced food (ASF) in emerging and developing countries increases feed demand, shrinking natural resource base particularly arable land and water limit feed production. Consequently crop ...
Cultivar-dependent variation in lentil (Lens culinaris L.) and implications for selecting food-feed varieties
Lentil straw is one of the extensively used livestock feed in mixed crop-livestock systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. To identify the importance of varietal and environmental sources of variation in the nutritive value of straw ...
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 ...
Identification of Farmer’s Preferred Durum Wheat (Triticum durum L) Varieties in Southeastern Ethiopia
Participatory varietal selection (PVS) of durum varieties was conducted at Selka and Ilu Sanbitu kebeles in southeaster Ethiopia. Four released durum wheat varieties were evaluated on two farmers' fields per kebele (lowest ...
