Autochthonous Sudanese cattle breeds, namely Baggara for beef and Butana and Kenana for
dairy, are characterized by their adaptive characteristics and high performance in hot and dry agroecosystems.
They are thus used largely by nomadic and semi...

Study of appropriate planting time and response to agronomic management practices is imperative for the newly introduced cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) into a semi-arid region of India. Responses of cactus pear to agronomic practices...

Tajikistan’s rangelands are mostly mountainous and consist of summer and winter pastures. Vegetation structure and composition in these diverse landscapes are generally influenced by environmental factors. The objective of this study was to assess...

Wheat quality parameters are complex traits predominantly influenced by the genetic background of varieties. A total of 802 spring bread wheat breeding lines were tested at Marchouch station, Morocco in 2018 aimed at mining invaluable QTNs for grain...

Drought is the principal abiotic stress which affect grain yield and quality of wheat at the global level, more particularly in West and South Asia, North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa. To identify marker-trait associations (MTA) and putative genes...

Resting or grazing exclusion is an effective practice widely adopted to restore degraded, arid rangelands. To understand its effect on plant diversity, we studied Hill’s diversity indices during two growing seasons (2017–2019). The experiment...

Conservation agriculture (CA) practices are becoming more important in Mediterranean rainfed areas
due to their potential to minimize climatic risk, reduce soil erosion, and improve soil quality and water
availability. Due to minimum soil disturbance...
