Agricultural land use change substantially affects climate,water, ecosystems, biodiversity, and humanwelfare. In
recent decades, due to increasing population and food demand and the backdrop of global warming, croplands
have been expanding into...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relative resistance of Menz and Washera sheep breeds to artificial infection with Haemonchus contortus. The challenge trial was conducted at the Debre Berhan Agricultural Research Center in Ethiopia. A total...
The present study was undertaken to delineate the nature of gene effects, epistasis type and estimation of genetic parameters in barley. Mean hectolitre weight, grain protein content and malt friability were exhibited as 58.45 kg/hl, 10.27 and 59.25...
Surface and groundwater resources are often conjunctively used to cope with water scarcity in irrigated agriculture. Farmers in the dryland ecosystems of central Asia also utilize shallow groundwater in addition to surface water withdrawn from rivers...
In the Eastern Gangetic Plains of Bangladesh, the cropping systems are predominantly rice based, having
large yield gaps in farmers’ fields because of poor management practices adopted by farmers. The
increasing scarcity of resources (water, labor...
Breeding programmes described as community-based (CBBP) typically relate to low-input systems with farmers having a common interest to improve and share their genetic resources. CBBPs are more frequent with keepers of small ruminants, in particular...
Chickpea (Cice rarietinum L) is a cool season food legume and an important
cash crop in the Sudan. The crop was traditionally grown on residual moisture
of the flood in northern Sudan and recently it is introduced to the central parts
