Farmers Have Too Low Knowledge to Protect and Benefit from Native Pollinators – Insight from Morocco
In 2016 The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) showed that agricultural production is now twice as dependent on pol- linators than five decades ago, but pollinator decline accelerates...
Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP) Creates High Incentives for Farmers for Pollinator Friendly Agriculture
Currently, environmental research on pollinator decline does not trigger broad protection of pollinators in particular in agricultural landscapes. Prevailing environmental recommen- dations, e.g. seeding wildflower strips in and between fields...
Effects of Temperature Stresses on the Resistance of Chickpea Genotypes and Aggressiveness of Didymella rabiei Isolates
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important food and rotation crop in many parts of the world. Cold (freezing and chilling temperatures) and Ascochyta blight (Didymella rabiei) are the major constraints in chickpea production. The effects of...

Les céréales sont considérées comme des cultures stratégiques en Tunisie de par leur importance économique et les emblavures qu’elles occupent. Les maladies virales plus particulièrement le virus de la jaunisse nanisante de l'orge (BYDV)...
Genotypic and phenotypic changes in wild barley (Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum) during a period of climate change in Jordan
Climate change and other anthropogenic disturbances can lead to the loss of genetic variation and thereby affect evolutionary potential and survival of plant populations in the wild. We examined these predictions in the primary wild relative of...
