Ascochyta blight, also known as chickpea blight, which is caused by the fungal pathogen,
Didymella rabiei, is an important disease affecting chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in many countries. We
studied the genetic diversity and population structure of...

Consumer awareness about dairy quality increased in the last years, specifically after recent food incidents worldwide (aflatoxin contamination in Europe, 2013, E. coli outbreak in the USA, 2015). In Tunisia, food security and sustainability are at...

Rangelands of Tunisia show a great indigenous species diversity with considerable potential as forage for livestock. However, information on their fodder yield and quality is scanty and restricted to few species. The objective of the study was to...

Many agricultural research and development programs aiming at enhancing tradeoffs related to different adoption, management and policy decisions face a methodological problem in which multi-criteria ranking is used to reach acceptable compromises...

Low- and middle-income countries cannot afford reward-based land sparing for wildflower strips to combat pollinator decline. Two small-grant projects assessed, if an opportunity-cost saving land-sharing approach, Farming with Alternative Pollinators...

In Sudan yellowing viruses are key production constraints in pulse crops.
Field surveys were carried out to identify luteovirids affecting chickpea crops in the
major production regions (Gezira Scheme and River Nile State). A total of 415 chickpea...

As in vitro culture environments can be mutagenic, it's challenging to produce true-to-true type plants from meristems. Therefore, the present study aimed to devlop an efficient protocol for micropropagation from shoot tip explants of medicinally...
