Antifeedant and larvicidal activities of Mentha pulegium on chickpea pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
This study investigates the insecticidal effect of the essential oil of Mentha pulegium L. on the second and third instar larvae of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner). Antifeedant, contact toxicity and systemic toxicity of M. pulegium essential oil...
Survey tool for assessing the effectiveness of agricultural extension service delivery: Application to CLCA technologies transfer methods
The project “Use of conservation agriculture in crop–livestock systems (CLCA) in the drylands for enhanced water use efficiency, soil fertility and productivity in North East, North Africa (NENA) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)...
Molecular Diagnosis of Viruses Causing Yellowing and Stunting Symptoms Affecting Pulse Crops in Central West Asia and North Africa Countries
Viruses causing yellowing and stunting are the most important virus diseases affecting pulses in many regions of the world, and were considered for many years to be caused mainly by infection with beet western yellows virus (BWYV, genus...
First study of the biology of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri and its potential to feed on the mealybug Dactylopius opuntiae (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) under laboratory conditions in Morocco
Dactylopius opuntiae, is known as specific Opuntia cochineal in many countries around the world. This sap-sucking insect was first detected in Morocco in 2014. To address the problem, the feeding potential of different development stages of...
مطوية حول مشروع : المنظومة المندمجة للزراعات الكبرى وتربية الماشية تحت نظام الفلاحة الحافظة من أجل تحسين كفاءة إستخدام الماء وخصوبة التربة والإنتاجية في بلدان شمال إفريقيا وأمريكا اللاتينية
Leaflet on the description of CLCA-II project (in arabic). يعد التدهور المستمر للأراضي الزراعية و ندرة المياه في تونس السبب الرئيسي وراء إنخفاض الإنتاجية و الذي ينعكس سلبا على ديمومة الإنتاج. تعتبر الزراعة الحافظة التي تنبني على التقليل أو عدم...
Application of Focused Identification of Germplasm Strategy (FIGS) in Australian Environment
Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is one of the critical variables that drives evapotranspiration, and is of fundamental importance in crop physiology and modeling in the face of climate change. Unfortunately, direct records of atmospheric moisture...
Nutrient flow modelling for assessing the resource criticality of heterogeneous agricultural systems: A case study in Southwestern Burkina Faso
Despite the many advantages of sustainable intensification (SI), the level of adoption of SI practices in African smallholding farms is still very low, posing the need for adequate methods for monitoring farm sustainability. Macronutrient flows...

Guide for Rangeland Vegetation Measurements: Manual on the methods used to monitor the rangelands productivity and managements, the aim is Enhancing capacity of partners is crucial. Thus this manual/guideline for themes related to rangeland...
Functional Dissection of the Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Stay-Green Phenotype Associated with Molecular Variation at an Ortholog of Mendel’s I Gene for Cotyledon Color: Implications for Crop Production and Carotenoid Biofortification
“Stay-green” crop phenotypes have been shown to impact drought tolerance and nutritional content of several crops. We aimed to genetically describe and functionally dissect the particular stay-green phenomenon found in chickpeas with a green...
The BMP7 gene is involved in the growth and development of hair follicles but its regulation mechanism is unclear. We studied the regulation mechanism of the BMP7 promoter by cloning the proximal promoter of BMP7 for bioinformatics analysis. A...
