Nitrogen (N) is an essential element for cereals growth and development, playing a crucial role in productivity and yield. Consequently, nitrogen fertilizers are extensively used in cereal cultivation. However, the excessive fertilizer application...
Background
A comprehensive study of the genome and genetics of superior germplasms is fundamental for crop improvement. As a widely adapted protein crop with high yield potential, the improvement in breeding and development of the seeds industry of...
The application of the random regression model in comparison with finite-dimensional models (univariate and multivariate animal models) for genetic parameter estimation of growth traits in goats was evaluated in this study. A total of 2888 body...
The importance of flower visitors for ecosystem resilience and crop production underscores the need to address the current decline of flower visitors worldwide. Farming Alternative Pollinators (FAP), economic and ecological benefits of fields hosting...
Purpose
This study was conducted in four semi-arid regions in Tunisia – Kef, Siliana, Zaghouan and Kairouan – which have a similar agroecological system based on crop–livestock integration and experience serious soil erosion. The study objective is...
A total of 173 lines with to stripe rust (Yr) were created by crossing the highly susceptible cultivars Sids 12 and Gemmeiza 11 with the three monogenic lines carrying Yr5, Yr10 and Yr15 genes from 2016 through 2020. These lines were then evaluated...
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a predominant foliar disease of wheat, caused by the pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici. This disease can lead to substantial yield losses warranting control by using expensive fungicides. One effective method of STB...
