First sources of resistance in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) to the stem borer weevil, Lixus algirus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a grain legume widely cultivated in many countries for food and animal feed. The faba bean stem borer (Lixus algirus L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is considered one of the major biotic stresses of faba bean in some...
Current Perspectives on Introgression Breeding in Food Legumes
Food legumes are important for defeating malnutrition and sustaining agri-food systems globally. Breeding efforts in legume crops have been largely confined to the exploitation of genetic variation available within the primary genepool...
The food system is our last coal-fired power station, our last diesel engine. This book is a trans-disciplinary treatment of what needs to be done to make it not only sustainable but also to regenerate soil and water resources, habitat, economy...
Effect of temperature on the expression of resistance to Hessian fly (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in durum wheat cultivars
Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say) is a destructive insect pest occurring in many wheat growing areas of the world. The most effective management option for controlling Hessian fly is the use of resistant wheat cultivars carrying specific...
Effect of olive tree leaves and twigs on intake, digestibility, growth performance and blood variables of Shami goats
The effect of replacing wheat straw and a portion of commercial concentrate with olive twigs and leaves treated with urea and molasses on nutrient digestibility, growth performance and blood variables was determined. Forty‐two Shami goat kids...
Prospects for stakeholder cooperation in effective implementation of enhanced rangeland restoration techniques in southern Tunisia
The objective of this paper is to identify prospects for stakeholder cooperation for effective implementation of enhanced rangeland restoration techniques under different land tenure status in Tataouine Governorate of southern Tunisia, through...
Two years old peach trees intercropped with a grass mixture can grow through a lithic discontinuity to access water the grass cannot
The hypothesis of niche complementarity for the use of soil resources is crucial for the performance of agroforestry systems. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that roots of 2 years old peach trees intercropped with grass can extract deep soil...
Epidemiological investigation of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus infection among the one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) in southern Tunisia
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever is a viral tick-borne zoonotic disease caused by a Nairovirus, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV). The present survey aimed to determine the exposure of one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) from...
