The XLS form (English & French) will be programmed in mobile data collection tool (ODK) in order to generate data on Conservation Agriculture practices and/or Conventional practices in Tunisia during the Project period.
The CLCA Project support the North Africa team transition from any paper-based data collection they may be conducting to the use of mobile data collection tools [(Open Data Kit (ODK)] because of the numerous advantages this brings onboard, such...
Predicting Spatial Risk of Wolf-Cattle Encounters and Depredation
Spatial variability in terrain, vegetation, and other features affect cattle and wildlife distribution on mountainous grazing lands of the western United States. Yet we have a poor understanding of how this spatial variability influences risk of...
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication between seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs and thus improve the...
Soil degradation problems and their solution in Uzbekistan
Presentation given on soil degradation in Uzbekistan as part of the International Conference, “Towards Sustainable Agriculture – What’s missing? What do we still need to know?” that took place on the 29th and 30th of November 2019 at the State...
Quantifying regional effects of plastic mulch on soil nitrogen pools, cycles, and fluxes in rain‐fed agroecosystems of the Loess Plateau
Farmland surface soil mulching with plastic film is extensively used to enhance agricultural productivity in the Loess Plateau (LP). However, the effect of mulching on the key processes that dominate soil nitrogen dynamics is rarely assessed...
Revolving the Seeds and Diffusing the Beans: Reviving Faba bean Cultivation in Ethiopian Highlands
Faba bean cultivation has been confronted by many challenges over the past two decades particularly in the Amhara region. The main production constraints are introduction of parasitic weed (Orobanche crenata) and emerging diseases like faba bean gall in central and northern Ethiopia.
First Report of Spot Blotch of Barley Caused by Cochliobolus sativus in Morocco
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is grown on ∼2 million hectares in Morocco (av. 1.2 t/ha), with ∼70% under semiarid conditions (FAO 2017). Historically, net form net blotch (NFNB) (Pyrenophora teres f. teres [Ptt]) and spot form net blotch (SFNB) (P...
Agricultural and Livestock Technology Transfer Preferences in Tunisia
The objective of this research study was to assess the sources of information on two improved agricultural and livestock technologies (barley variety and feed blocks) as well as the ecacy of numerous agricultural technology diffusion means introduced in the livestock–barley system in semi-arid Tunisia.
