When water scarcity restricts agricultural production, expanding water resources is only one option to
increase or maintain output; investments in research to raise productivity can also release constraints
on growth. In this paper, we construct a...
Degraded drylands have a limited ecosystem functionality and require well-targeted rehabilitation interventions and sustainable land management for improvement. A promising rehabilitation package using mechanized micro-catchment water harvesting, for...
Despite several efforts for its dissemination, adoption of conservation agriculture (CA) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is low – causing some to wonder if an incremental approach for adoption of its three components would prove...
Weeds cause serious constraint to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) productivity. Broad
weed control is hampered by the availability of postemergence herbicides to control
them, as the current faba bean cultivars are highly susceptible to them. Therefore...
Cadmium (Cd) is a hazardous heavy metal, toxic to our ecosystem even at low concentrations.
Cd stress negatively affects plant growth and development by triggering oxidative stress.
Limited information is available on the role of iron (Fe) in...
Mungbeans and lentils are relatively easily grown and cheaper sources of microgreens, but their phytonutrient diversity is not yet deeply explored. In this study, 20 diverse genotypes each of mungbean and lentil were grown as microgreens under plain...
Improved breeding practices and participatory health services have been designed and implemented by a partnership between national and international institutions in various parts of Ethiopia since 2014. Based on a panel data of two waves, we have...
