The CGIAR 2030 Global Strategy For Resilient Drylands – A Bold Vision Unveiled
Dec 4, UNCCD COP16, Riyadh: ICARDA & ICRISAT launch CGIAR’s 2030 Global Strategy for Resilient Drylands to transform agriculture for 2.7B dryland residents.
Local agro-industrial by-products offer feasible options to supplement breeding rams in mixed farming systems of Ethiopia
The study assessed the supplemental effect of flushing Menz breeding rams with local agro-industrial by-products on their reproductive performance and semen quality. It recommends the use of wheat bran-based supplementation strategies to enhance...
Genome-wide association mapping and genomic prediction of water deficit stress tolerance indices in spring bread wheat
Genome-wide association mapping (GWAM) is crucial for identifying the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, such as drought tolerance indices in bread wheat. This study aims to identify Marker-Trait Associations (MTAs) and genes related...
Estimates of genetic parameters and genetic trends for growth traits in Menz sheep under community-based breeding programs
The main objectives of this study were to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for growth traits in Menz sheep under community-based breeding programs (CBBPs). Data used in the study were collected from five Menz CBBPs villages during 15...
Performance of specific CMIP6 GCMs for simulating the historical rainfall and temperature climatology of Lake Tana sub-basin, Ethiopia
This study aims to evaluate the performance of 7 rainfall and 6 temperature products from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) Global climate models (GCMs) for simulating the rainfall, maximum temperature (Tmax), and minimum...
Advanced prediction of rice yield gaps under climate uncertainty using machine learning techniques in Eastern India
The current study focuses on applying machine learning approaches to forecast future Kharif rice yield gaps in eastern India while accounting for climate change implications. To achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)...
Variability of ENSO teleconnections indices, and its impacts on moroccan agriculture
In Morocco, drought periods have become more frequent and severe due to climate change, which has had a substantial effect on freshwater supply and agricultural output. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the influence of climatic...
Assessment of genetic structure and trait associations of Watkins wheat landraces under Egyptian field conditions
Background: Wheat landraces represent a reservoir of genetic diversity that can support wheat improvement through breeding. A core panel of 300 Watkins wheat landraces, as well as 16 non-Watkins landraces and elite wheat cultivars, was grown...
A Cradle-to-Retailer Environmental Profile of Yellow Lentils (Lens culinaris ssp. Orientalis) as Such or Malted
This study evaluated the environmental impact of malted, decorticated, and split yellow lentils, specifically Moroccan (ML) and Onano (OL) varieties, cultivated in Morocco and Italy, using a cradle-to-retailer Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)...
