Background: Cassava roots are widely consumed in tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Although the protein,vitamin, carotenoid, and mineral content in the leaves makes them a nutritionally attractive option, their consumption is...
Lentil is a food legume grown in the Indo-Gangetic plains including lower Gangetic Bengal (LGB). Lentil productivity in this zone is severely impeded because of the prevalence of several biotic cues. Plausible reports regarding the status of disease...
The root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus thornei, causes high yield losses in rainfed wheat fields in Morocco, as well as worldwide. Growing resistant varieties is one of the most effective methods for controlling nematodes. Therefore, a collection of...
Straw return has been widely used to increase SOC storage globally, but such C accrual is frequently constrained by other nutrients which are needed to maintain soil ecological stoichiometry balance. However, the impact of fertilization on SOC stocks...
Hessian fly (HF), Mayetiola destructor (Say), is an important wheat insect pest that annually results in significant production losses. In Morocco, this insect reduces wheat yields by 32–36 % during drought years. The purpose of the current study is...
Drought stress poses a serious threat to grain formation in wheat. Nitrogen (N) plays crucial roles in plant organ development; however, the physiological mechanisms by which drought stress affects plant N availability and mediates the formation of...
The study aimed to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for growth traits and Kleiber ratio in Dorper sheep breed. Data used in this study were collected over 12 years (2012–2023) at Debre Birhan Agricultural Research Center sheep research...
