Assessment of on-farm diversity of wheat varieties and landraces: Evidence from farmer’s fields in Ethiopia
Analysis of spatial diversity, temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage (COP) were carried out along with measurements of agronomic and morphological traits to explain on-farm diversity of modern varieties or landraces of wheat (Triticum...
Although Morocco is set to nearly treble olive production, these ambitious plans could have potentially serious consequences for the country’s water supplies.

Tillage System Affects Soil Organic Carbon Storage and Quality in Central Morocco
Stabilizing or improving soil organic carbon content is essential for sustainable crop production under changing climate conditions. Therefore, soil organic carbon research is gaining momentum in the Mediterranean basin. Our objective is to...
Non-genetic sources of variation of milk production and reproduction and interactions between both classes of traits in Sicilo-Sarde dairy sheep
This work aimed to study the sources of variation in productive and reproductive traits of the dairy Sicilo-Sarde ewes and to further investigate the interaction between both classes of traits. After edits, a database containing 5935 lactation...
Technical Efficiency and Its Determinants in Food Crop Production: A Case Study of Farms in West Bank, Palestine
In this study, farm level technical efficiency (TE) and its determinants were investigated. A stochastic Cobb-Douglas (CD) production frontier was used to provide estimates of input-oriented TE for a sample of 100 rain fed farms in two...
