Increasing density is an effective way to enhance wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield under limited cultivated areas. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying the reduction in grain weight when density increased are still unclear. Three field...
Global food systems face sustainability challenges like undernourishment, inequity, resource degradation, and pollution. Food production and consumption drive environmental change with greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, and land-system...
Ensuring global food security in the face of climate change is critical to human survival. With a predicted human population of 9.6 billion in 2050 and the demand for food supplies expected to increase by 60% globally, but with a parallel potential...
The ICARDA 2030 Research & Innovation Strategy (ICARDA 2030) provides a roadmap for future endeavors. It builds on more than forty years of experience working with partners on dryland system transformation, gathering the evidence that the right...
Weeds pose a major constraint in lentil cultivation, leading to decrease farmers’ revenues by reducing the yield and increasing the management costs. The development of herbicide tolerant cultivars is essential to increase lentil yield. Even though...
The exploration of insects as a sustainable protein source is gaining interest as an alternative solution to ensure food security and meet the increasing global food demand. Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae (BSFL) present a natural and...
During the spring of 2021-2022, imported grown African daisy (Dimorphotheca pluvialis L. Moench) plants (Family: Asteracae) exhibiting symptoms of phyllody phytoplasma, such as phyllody and virescence of flowers, and witches' broom, were observed...
