Pastoral improvement using Hedysarum coronarium L. under semiarid environment conditions of Tunisia
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of scarification and/or reseeding on the vegetation cover and dry matter production of rangelands in Sbaihia, Governorate of Zaghouan, Tunisia during 2017- 2018. A total of 75 ha degraded...
Recent advances in next generation sequencing technologies make genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) more feasible for molecular characterization of plant germplasm with complex and unsequenced genomes. Here we applied the GBS technology to assess the...
A new pastoral code for Tunisia: Reversing degradation across the country’s critical rangelands
In response to the severe economic, social, and environmental costs of degradation across Tunisia’s rangelands, the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has worked with the General Directorate of Forestry...
Population structure, genetic diversity and selection signatures within seven indigenous Pakistani goat populations
Goat farming in Pakistan depends on indigenous breeds that have adapted to specific agro‐ecological conditions. Pakistan has a rich resource of goat breeds, and the genetic diversity of these goat breeds is largely unknown. In this study...
Advanced Course: Water and Energy in Mediterranean Rural Environments: The Nexus in Irrigated Agriculture
Mediterranean rural environments are at the crossroads of the water-energy nexus. On one hand, the region offers great scope for the generation of renewable energy, given the intensity of solar radiation, wind speed and water flows. At the same...
Date Palm Pests and Diseases: Integrated Management Guide
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a major fruit crop in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The crop’s tolerance to high temperature, drought, and salinity makes it suitable to the harsh environment in the MENA region. Date palm is...
Geoinformaticas application in Date-Palm-Pests-and-Diseases
Global climate variability and change (and framing system) pose a serious threat to food and to nutritional security, with increased concerns of agricultural risks and vulnerability to pests and diseases. The nature and magnitude of the risks...
The technological advancements in agriculture have resulted in higher yields but lower ecological efficiency and nutritional value. Little innovations in later sectors such as integrating ecological functions in the production systems have...
