Iraq suffering from leakage in the water resources, therefore it scourging it farmers to adopting new technologies in irrigation. The results showed that the variables (age of farmer, level of education of farmers and source of access to information)...

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) were carried out to map Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) associated
with element contents in the grain using 336 spring barley. Of the elements analyzed, Fe content
ranged from 21.9 to 91.0 mg kg
1, Zn from 10.4 to...

We undertook large-scale genetic analysis to determine marker-trait associations (MTAs) underlying agronomic and physiological performance in spring wheat using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Field trials were conducted at seven sites in...

Humans depend on land resources for provisions, and the sustainability of land capital to provide sustenance becomes invaluable with population growth. Agriculture is one of the major economic sectors of the five ‘stans’, contributing about 5% to 20%...

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 globally, in...

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, don’t...

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...
