The presence of pollinating insects in crop fields is an essential factor for agricultural
production and pollinator conservation. Agricultural intensification has been identified as a driver of pollinator decline over the last decades and challenges...
With current trends of increasing population, decreasing arable land, and a low yearly increment rate of cereal productivity, Nepal has an annual deficit of >1.3 million tons of edible rice, wheat, and maize. This indicates the urgent need for demand...
Growing concerns for food security and the alleviation of hunger necessitate knowledge-based crop management technologies for sustainable crop production. In this study, 13 winter bread wheat genotypes (old, relatively old, modern, and breeding lines...
In Morocco, the intensive use of agricultural land coupled with irregular precipitation is a serious threat to the country’s food security. Conservation agriculture especially no-tillage (NT) system has shown an important result
in the semi-arid...
Environmental stresses, particularly drought, limit symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes,
resulting in decreased yielding capacity. Drought is one of the most important constraints
limiting yield potential in crops and it is the major abiotic...
Drought is one of the most important yield-limiting factors in Morocco. Identification
and deployment of drought-tolerant wheat varieties are important to cope with the challenge of
terminal moisture stress and increase wheat productivity. A panel...
Biochar amendment can alter native soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization via the priming effect (PE);
however, its direction, intensity, and controls over a broad geographic scale are not clear, undermining the
predictions of SOC dynamics as...
