Increasing temperatures are adversely affecting various food crops, including legumes, and this issue requires attention. The growth of two cool‐season food legumes, chickpea and lentil, is inhibited by high temperatures but their relative...
Drought stress is one of the major constraints limiting the production and productivity of barley. We tried to identify some indicators related to plant productivity by analyzing some agro-morphological and physiological traits in recombinant inbred...
The study investigated, for fixed time artificially inseminated (AI) Menz ewes in field trials, the reproductive
performance of prostaglandin-based treatments simultaneously to the standard ‘P4+eCG’ protocol. A total
of 483 Menz ewes were assigned to...
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.; family Fabaceae) plants with symptoms typical of virus infection (chlorosis, stunting, necrosis, yellowing, and reddening) were collected during disease surveys in June 2012 (386 samples from 23 fields) and May to June...
Context: The productivity of Ethiopian smallholder farms is considered to be low owing to different factors such as feed shortage, lack of breeding strategies, disease prevalence and missing marketing strategies.
This study was undertaken to measure the genetic diversity and population structure of 48 barley accessions introduced from ICARDA using 51 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to select unique parents for breeding. The mean polymorphic...
This study demonstrates how to predict and map soils within smallholder farms in fragile landscapes of Malawi. We used random forest algorithm and sentinel imagery to improve mapping of SOC and NPK farm level. SOC was predicted by bare soil...
