We analysed options to optimize the use of sires in sheep and goat community-based breeding programmes (CBBP) for three scenarios occurring under field conditions: premature sale of selection candidates, fixed service periods of selected sires and...
Identification and exploration of the
genetic architecture of traits related to yield, quality,
and drought and heat tolerance is important for yield
and quality improvement of wheat through markerassisted
selection. One hundred and ninety-two spring...
We developed Semi-structured questionnaire and conduct
a survey to randomly selected farmers to asses’ their knowledge
and practices on chickpea production and pest management.
We found that, 93% of the respondent were

The growth and efficiency-related traits of the Boer x Central Highland goats raised semi-intensively were evaluated. Besides, genetic and non-genetic factors affecting growth and efficiency-related traits were identified. Data were collected over a...
Sustainable barley production will require access to diverse ex-situ conserved collections to develop varieties with high yields and capable of overcoming the challenges imposed by major abiotic and biotic stresses. This study aimed at searching...
In the Maghreb region, productivity of rainfed and irrigated crops has been threatened due to social
and technological constraints, water scarcity, low and variable rainfall, reduced soil fertility and
quality, and improper agricultural management...
