Heat stress affects the accumulation of starch, which is responsible for the major loss in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield. Clarifying the changes of starch composition and granule particles in wheat grain under heat stress are required for...

In the Ethiopian Highlands, stone bunds are a common practice for soil and water conservation,
influencing runoff and erosion processes from sloped agricultural areas. The objective of this study was
to investigate how stone bunds affect spatio...

Conservation agriculture is a concept which defines different farming systems. Its implementation depends on soil properties, climate and socio-economic considerations. Since two thousands, no-till technology; which is one facet of the conservation...

This document is designed to help researchers apply RCTs so they can gain a more accurate insight into the impacts of different extension strategies in different locations. It provides information on the benefits of an RCT approach in comparison to...

Grassland degradation and desertification is a complex process, including both
state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) and gradual within-state change (e.g., greenness
dynamics). Existing studies hardly separated the two components and...

Supplemental irrigation - the addition of
limited amounts of water to essentially
rainfed crops to improve and stabilize
yields when rainfall fails to provide
sufficient moisture for normal plant
growth - is an effective response to
alleviating the...

We generated epidemiological information on the prevalence of nematode parasites and possible resistance/resilience of goats in three areas, Bati, Shinille, and Borana, of Ethiopia. A total of 350 breeding does were randomly selected and monitored...
