Toward Sustainable Water Resources Management in the Tunisian Citrus Sector: Impact of Pricing Policies on Water Resources Reallocation
This study aims to analyse Tunisian farmers’ ability to pay (ATP) in a citrus area and propose a penalising price strategy based on the block‐pricing process to decrease over‐irrigation without affecting farmers’ incomes. The methodology is...
Preparation and Curation of Multiyear, Multilocation, Multitrait Datasets
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a powerful approach to dissect genotype-phenotype associations and identify causative regions. However, this power is highly influenced by the accuracy of the phenotypic data. To obtain accurate...

This data paper describes the content of four datasets col- lected by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) as a partner in the project “Designing InnoVative plant teams for Ecosystem Resilience and...
Genomic analysis of 10 years of artificial selection in community-based breeding programs in two Ethiopian indigenous sheep breeds
In recent times, community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) have been advocated as the best strategy for genetic improvement of local breeds in smallholder farms in developing countries. Since 2009, CBBPs have been implemented for Ethiopian Bonga...
Genetic and non-genetic parameter estimates for growth traits and Kleiber ratios in Dorper × indigenous sheep
Genetic improvement programme will only be successful when accompanied by a good understanding of the influence of different environmental factors, knowledge of the genetic parameters and the genetic relationships between the traits of interest...
