Background
Yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. Tritici (Pst), is one of the most destructive wheat diseases in the world. It can cause, yield losses of up to 100% during severe outbreaks. The use of resistant wheat varieties is the...
Growth efficiency traits are economically important and their genetic improvement is essential in small ruminants, particularly under conditions of limited feed availability. Data on body weights of Menz sheep collected from 2009 through 2023 in Menz...
An investigation was made into the efficiency of conservation agriculture implementation in Siliana governorate, northeast Tunisia, through a spatial cost–benefit analysis using the Desertification Mitigation Cost-Effectiveness modeling approach...
Abiotic stressors have a significant impact on crop productivity, with moisture stress being especially important. This study investigates the consequent shifts in sorghum yields in Senegal, using NASA Power and CHIRPS data from 1990 to 2024. Matam...
Soil salinity represents the leading form of land degradation in arid and semi-arid regions. This study employed five hybrid stacking ensemble (SE) machine learning models (SE-GBM, SE-RF, SE-SVM, SE-XGB, and SE-MARS) to map salinity distribution...
Wheat growth is often restricted by drought, but crops have a water compensation effect. This study explored the effects of rewatering after different degrees of drought stress in the early stage of grain-filling (1–10 days post anthesis) on starch...
Context
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris Medik.) is a key cool-season legume that suffers significant yield and quality losses under increasing heat and drought stress, particularly during its reproductive stage. With climate change intensifying...
