The present study evaluated the efficacy of a third-generation anthranilic diamide insecticide, tetraniliprole, against four pests of stored grains: Trogoderma granarium, Rhyzopertha dominica, Tribolium castaneum, and Sitophilus oryzae. Trials were...
Genomic selection (GS) has potential to accelerate the genetic gain in crop plants. This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy and potential of GS in faba bean [Vicia faba (L.)] and to enhance its application in breeding programs. A set of 118...
Soilborne diseases cause losses of 45–70% in faba bean in Ethiopia. Studies were undertaken to define soilborne pathogens and their complexes in Ethiopia. First, the severity of root rot was assessed in 150 field sites across seven Ethiopian regions...
Women are uniquely vulnerable to climate change but play a critical role in enhancing the climate resilience of the agrifood sector. Based on a rapid review of academic and grey literature, this paper synthesizes the state of knowledge on the level...
