Impact of Heat and Drought Stress on Grasspea and Its Wild Relatives
Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is recognized as a highly drought-tolerant legume. However, excessive consumption of its seeds and green tissues causes neurolathyrism, a condition characterized by an irreversible paralysis of the legs induced by...
The Use of Biologically Converted Agricultural Byproducts in Chicken Nutrition
This article aims to uncover the current knowledge on using bioconverted agricultural byproducts in the chicken diet and the impact of these byproducts on performance, product quality, and health status. Agricultural and agro-industrial...
Editorial: Dryland agriculture: crop adaptations, increasing yield and soil fertility
Dryland agriculture in low precipitation areas remain low productive than their potential harvest because of uncertain climate risk, dryland agricultural productivity may be increased by adopting the climate-resilient based agronomic management...
The Fusion Impact of Compost, Biochar, and Polymer on Sandy Soil Properties and Bean Productivity
Two of the most significant issues confronting arid and semi-arid countries are soil degradation and the need to reclaim sandy soils and improve their properties to enhance the agricultural area and ensure food security. Many attempts to improve...
Estimation of crossbreeding and genetic parameters for reproductive traits of Boer x Central Highland goats in Ethiopia
Additive genetic and non-additive parameters for reproductive traits of Boer x Central Highland goats were estimated. Pedigree and performance records comprised of Central Highland and their crosses with Boer goats were collected from 2009 to...
CRISPR genome editing to address food security and climate changes
Climate change causes an increase in the intensity of adverse abiotic and biotic stresses that could severely threaten agriculture production and food security including production, access, and prices. The world's population is anticipated to...
On-farm water energy food carbon-footprint nexus index for quantitative assessment of integrated resources management for wheat farming in Egypt
To improve the farming efficiency, Egypt has been struggling to narrow the water, energy, and yield gaps owing to exacerbated water shortage. For quantitative diagnosis of farming performance, the paper presented an on-farm water, energy, food...
Among 30 viruses have been reported on barley, but only few of them are widespread and cause significant economic damage. Among the most important viruses reported to infect barley are BUDVs (such as BYDV-PAV, BYDV-MAV), cereal yellow dwarf...
Genome-wide association studies for phenological and agronomic traits in mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)
Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is one of the important warm-season food legumes, contributing substantially to nutritional security and environmental sustainability. The genetic complexity of yield-associated agronomic traits in mungbean is...
Conservation agriculture has no significant impact on sheep digestive parasitism
Conservation agriculture (CONS A) is a sustainable agriculture system based on crop rotation with no tillage. It has various environmental advantages compared to conventional agriculture (CONV A): decreased water evaporation, erosion, and CO2...
